BunBun 5 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 ur boss recommend but company no sponser? If they want some "benefits" out of you people working for them, at least should sponser one. This is called benefitting both parties. I take one look at this landmark forum and don't really see much difference from motivation which alot of people give talks on.. similar to stuff like religion, motivation, the dos and don'ts. Hardly any different. It's just what you do on your own makes a difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunBun 5 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 You heard of Dale Carneige's courses before? Their courses are similar to chicken soup but more closely linked to religion + heart with psychological analysis sometimes as reference. And there's these few types to define people accordingly to their personality. I can only remember one of these types, that is 'sanguine' though. Actually if I were to put it down with landmark forum courses, I wouldn't say they're on a par because Dale's mostly concentrated on emotional aspect of motivation while I believe landmark's is more directed towards hardcore aspect of motivation. Like sales prep talk something like this. I think your boss felt it might bear fruit on those who supposedly gain something out of it 'cos it benefits company growth, performance? Hehehe honestly, i wouldn't want to go even if i get a day off, i rather keep my weekends free & pockets no hole also. no choice lo. boss only grant me that fri off to go. only benefit. my colleagues all went and they share your same thought, its similar kind of course but depends if you keep remembering and practising what they shared. what to do. the "recommendation" was so "persuasive".

BunBun 5 Report post Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) It sounds like your boss is one heck of a good motivator and boss from the way you say it. Ya Dale Carneige's books are quite interesting, read a few of Dale Carneige's books before but can't help feeling that its more like research & psychological assessment at times. Not everyone is able to understand those techniques that your boss is saying about, let alone speak the same lingo if the heart is not there to understand the depth of it. Even simplifying things wouldn't help. Thats why there are role model examples which people look up to learn from. Im curious what would you learn from the landmark forum course though. i read dale carneige's book on negotiation quite a while back and it was a really good book. nah, i actually can't be bothered with all these motivation courses if not for... my boss 'persuaded' everyone from our team to go so we speak the 'same lingo'. apparently there are some techniques he used in office and he feels it will have better effect if we all understand these techniques. but nonetheless, my boss is a great boss as he is himself a very motivational person whom can dissect our problems till it seems its not an problem at all. i totally agree with you on keeping my weekends free and saving a bomb. the most ideal scenario will be its sponsored and conducted on weekdays during office hours.
