Seminar Insiders
Sometimes you’ll hear the speaker saying something to this effect: “Why don’t we all just stand up, take a little breather, and stretch our bodies a bit with this icebreaker exercise?” Your initial reaction, most probably, will be of distaste. You may think, “Uh, this is a joke, it’s nothing but a way to break the monotony, and therefore I should not participate in this silly exercise.” What you’re not seeing in this picture is that it is a perfect time to practice the sense of participation. Sure, it may look silly and distasteful, but that’s beside the point [...] Continue Reading…

A seminar is never, in any way, a panacea to all of your problems, but it can alleviate your problems in time. Makeovers are not done overnight, and good changes are slow burns that grow beautifully if you are just patient. Drastic changes are often disastrous and this is not where you want to be in your life. A seminar, even, is a perfect example of how changing small things in life generally change life for the better in the end. So it’s a perfect thing hope, but don’t wish for that miracle solution.
Firstly, line up your expectations to [...] Continue Reading…

A seminar is a treasure trove of information. But that is not necessarily a good thing. Information is only useful if it is truly understood, consumed by the mind and eventually put into action. Now in the best of worlds, we can assume that you will get a good hold of ALL the information the seminar will show you – but the sad reality is that you simply cannot. Our brain can process only so much information at a time. And sure, you can take notes of everything the speaker is blabbering, but as said earlier, information can only [...] Continue Reading…

Going to seminars is very unlike going to work or going to school. When you go to your job, for instance, you plot in advance what you should be doing through your shift – projects to be passed, assessments to be made, papers to be finished. You schedule things. Or like going to school. You fill yourself with so much information so that come exam time, you might write the correct answer to the questions on the exam sheet. A seminar is the complete opposite of both scenarios. When you go to a seminar, you go with a blank [...] Continue Reading…

A seminar is in every way a learning activity, and the best way to keep track of everything that you’ve learned is by writing it down. In other words, a seminar is a pen-and-paper affair. Going to a seminar without recording materials is like fetching for water without a pail. Sure you can lap all the water you want on the stream, but can you take some of the water home and save it for another day? You need to take notes of what you’re learning because it is a concrete manifestation of your desire to learn new things, [...] Continue Reading…
