Lesson 1 – Setting goals 27th July 2019 I am an introvert and have problems in speaking publicly. This was an interesting topic as I am goal oriented person. The first week as I participate in this class, I have learned to speak in groups and are becoming comfortable in participating in conversations. The first group that presented in class were dynamic and this put pressure on the following groups as we were the 4th group to do a presentation. What I have experienced is that we are all participation in the activities in class and this brakes the ice and as make you to look forward to the next session. It is just amazing to see the level that we engage in these topics collectively. It helps to be open-minded and hear about other people’s experiences and that way you learn to know that it is good to discuss issues that are relevant to every day life so as to grow as a person and expand in your own capacity. The first lesson was about the setting goals in life and how to be smart. This allows you to do a self re-introspection as what is it that you want to achieve in life and how are going about doing it. As I have taken this course it is one of my goal to finish what I have started. Every year one set goals to be achieved and there can be challenges that one may meet and thus helps you to look at other avenues. I have been conversing at work telling my colleagues of the experience and looking forward to the following week’s lesson.
