Worked as the trainer for a particular camp for the past 4 days with lots of experience and lessons learned. As this is a leadership camp for the participants, trainers have to feed them with info about leadership. Quite an easy job for me as its almost the same as what im doing in npcc.
Personally for myself, i've gained alot from the participants. This experience exposed me to more leadership styles that i had never came across before as i've always been leading kids from npcc, but not 17/18/19 yr old students. Not only must we trainers be able to hype up the team, but also to get them bonded ASAP. Its tough job at one point of time when few of the students are not willing to fully participate in the camp. And at times you wondered why cant they even take care of simple things. Feeling the frustration coming, yet i cant do anything to them. Thats when i discovered more about anger management. HAHAHA!!!
Everyone needs a special someone to talk to in times of need, especially leaders. My co-trainer made me realise this when he was de-briefing the team. You need not know who is the US president, you need not know who is the Miss Universe, You need not know who won singapore F1 grand prix. BUT, you mus know when you failed an objective, who is the one that got you back on track. When you are down, who is the first that came to pull you up. And when its the last night tonight, who would come to your mind. That special person keeps the leader going, never to give up, never to go down. I am very thankful to have a few of them, but one special one who i can really say/share/rant anything, and i mean ANYTHING to.
Every camp will be a brand new journey to me, a brand new experience for me. And these are perfect memories in life....
