CULead Class of 2015-16
Yesterday I
witnessed the pinnacle of growth of my most recent Leadership Class at AMOCO!
In their final presentations, they delivered big time and made me, their coach very proud. Watching this group stand and deliver their projects to their Executive
Team made my heart grow with love for coaching and training.. and love for them
and the entire AMOCO team. They get it. It's about their people.
This years group of
individuals took the challenge to "jump" into the unknown with me
over six months ago, to chance that they might expand their skills and open
their mind to growth possibilities. The possibility that they too, are leaders
and influencers in their world, the possibility that there are untapped skills
lying in dormant areas of their being, just waiting to emerge. Emerge they did,
with power, confidence and enthusiasm. While they may have thought that I
opened their minds and pushed them out of their comfort zones, this group
awakened a fire in me that I don't want to control.
They soared with me through John Maxwell's Book, The 15 Laws of Invaluable growth and learned from the start on Law #1 - Growth doesn't just happen. It must be intentional. This team took that seriously and it showed.http://www.johncmaxwellgroup.com/bonniebenkula
Yesterday I saw excellence and perseverance
in individuals who overcame fears, doubts, and insecurities. I saw great that existed inside, shine itself outside - for all the world to see!
Today, while their
work on the skills and training was the essence of the growth, I am
compelled to think that my coaching - my undoubting belief in them, may have played a role
in their success. That learning the laws of growth was no doubt, a beginning step to lifelong learning and greatness.
Today, I am more determined to communicate the
benefits of coaching both in groups and in individuals - coaching short-term or
long-term, coaching to get individuals out of their comfort zones and to be
all that they can truly be!! I'm ready to jump and live the life God
intended for me to live! Bring on 2016 and congratulations to the 2016 CULead
Leadership group. It's been a blast!!
