Lessons from a mndset session

 Dear all, two more activities on the list were done the past few days kaa.....I now congratulated myself and you can join in kraaa😁😁😁! One was a mindset session and the other was a talk to Thai kids born overseas from Thai parents or from intermarriage. The challenge was that they were 12-17 years old with some proficiency in Thai. I survived at least kaa.

I now wish to focus on the first activity mentioned na ka.

It was a one-day mindset session my little team (2 BB's, 1 X, 1  young smart Y who is only 24 years old and in love with big pictures) designed for a university as the senior leaders wished to work on their mindsets before moving on to their other important missions ka. Kindly note that it was from an assigned task to me as a committee member, not out of our own line of work/expertise (though we do love to do it occasionally!)

Let me touch on our lessons learned about the overall organization ka.

- Despite intensive brainstorming discussions we spent on planning and designing the exercises, flexibility on site was key after all ka.
- The two from other sectors (entertainment industry and technology sector) we eyed for were the real blessings. Our criteria were from the pool of Fulbright alums and networks ka...what else is new chai mai ka? We briefed them  how things could proceed and they smoothly became our team members who played the mentor/judge roles while standing ready to suggest and lead added activities when needed.
- The one from the technology side is used to working with and as a  startup so her questions to the presenters were sharp. The other from the entertainment business has precious empathetic experiences to deal with people's behaviors and actions. He also helped twist the exercise around like laying out a wild card as the climax of a movie! More than sanuk was impacts on the group discussions ka.
- Following our Y kid on the team, we had an involvement of students as participants and one as a judge. We learned so much from their perspectives and actions, noting that the younger gen needs strong engagement and over-communication ka.
- When the safe zone was felt, kids and adults blossomed with so much creativity and proactive participation.

The result made us feel quite happy ka.
