Survival skills for New Managers – Training

stated in the brochure the venue was at Park Royal, then confirmed with the lady in-charged is at JW Marriot, when I am there, it is suppose to be at The Ritz Carlton Hotel. But luckily it is both under the YTL Group, and the hotels are both inter-connected :) It is my second time attending an event at The Ritz Carlton. To be honest, I quite like hotel finishing as well as how the staffs personalized themselves to their guest.

Speaker: Mr. Thomas Lai, who have 10 years experience as a professional trainer and another 10 years before that mainly involve in the Human Resource as well as providing training and talks. I see him as acting, I feel that he actions are not that “real”, well that’s just my judgement, he might be that “stiff” in his actions. Well, all i can say that he is a humble man, always striving to learn more and does not know how to relax and enjoy life and travel (well the last description was what he said)

Overall, the training is quite enjoyable, with activities, games given, brain teaser and a 20 minutes video, it make things interesting and not plain boring just talking with presentation slides. This is my second training that my company have sent me, this is definitely more practical then the previous. At least more information are absorb into my mind and I get to understand myself better and areas where I can improve on. The sad thing is that we did not finish 1 topic and there is this 1 topic who was quickly browse through, which I find it quite an important area for me, managing decision making skills.

Guess I just need to read it on my own, and read on the leadership skills article he have given. Overall, I will give a 7-8 for this training. Surprisingly, I think I am the youngest in the group, so alot to learn from people around you :)

Also, I met with the business owner of the training provider, what a co-incident he have proposed to my company early last week with a few other training topics he suggest to offer our office internal training :) Well, let’s wait, I hope to attend the Leadership program where I feel I should improve on.
