LTE

I had the opportunity to go to a church in Bloomington IL and teach an LTE (Leadership Training Event). Its four sessions long, each session taking about 2 hours long. Within each session there is some teaching and the rest of the time we do team building games where the team needs to work together to accomplish a mission. This is an interesting time for the students to realize different aspects of themselves and the team. It provides an opportunity to talk about communication, team care, and a lot of other things. This last weekend was a cool experience for me. The students were unbelievable and so easy to talk to.

While watching the students doing these team building games one of many things that I took away from the weekend is how I channel my frustration can effect the team's performance. In my life if I get frustrated it can effect the people around me in a negative way. But if I can control it, it can encourage others to persevere. This is just one aspect that I took away from the weekend.

These LTE's are such a cool opportunity to interact with students and help them develop, something that I am passionate about. Just another cool aspect of my job in Summit!
