Team bonding for SIC’s catechists

The training conducted by Neal Patrick Gonzales of Bridge ICD Sdn Bhd on August 19 at Costantini Community Centre, St Ignatius Church (SIC), was refreshing and invigorating.

“What I initially thought was the usual team-building session turned out to be a team-bonding session. I was attracted by the facilitator’s method of engaging with us, the participants. I personally felt the approach was good as the facilitator allowed us to learn key principles in an active way. To enable me to bond with my team.

“I was intrigued with the science of how we learn. We learn best by combining activities that use our left-brain and right-brain. Apart from that, I learnt that we should listen to instructions carefully and not make presumptions. Furthermore, I learnt to take time to plan and try and influence my team-mates by focusing on the end goal of the activity.

“Lastly, I learnt to trust and, though blindfolded, I could encourage my team-mates. I have gained a lot from the team-bonding session, especially in the need to organise activities that stimulate active learning.”
