Leadership and Mentoring Skills Course 2010

On the 25th and 26th of June, a few of our cadets attended a leadership and mentoring skills course organised by the area 10 cadet instructors at Bedok South Secondary School. Below is a participants reflection on her experience.

一

We reported on the first day at Bedok South in our full uniform. Thereafter the twelve of us were split into 8 different groups. These groupings would be the groups in which we carried out our activities during the next 2 days and they consisted other cadets from other schools in Area 10. We proceeded to the school hall whereby our lectures would be held. We had a lecture on

• Lectures ( Effective Communication, identifying different types of learners etc. )
• Words of Command
• Team-building games

Through this course, it has definitely taught me to be a better leader. The lectures that I went through such as the one on identifying the different types of learners had been useful and will definitely be of use in future. Other than learning to become a better cadet leader, I have also learnt that effective communication is of utmost importance in a team in order for a task to be carried out successfully. Furthermore, this course was very fun as I got to play numerous team-building games that not only enabled me to have fun and bond with my group-mates, I also learnt teamwork in process.

All in all, it has been a great and enriching experience.
