Pfiati Linz! Salut la France!

Bonsoir, cher LC Linz!!!

As you know, i will spend the next ~10 months in France.
Luckily (for me) those ~10 months have started this week. To keep you (and other people) up to date about what the hell I am doing in that cool country I created a blog at http://ainf.blogspot.com/
So if you don't have anything better to do and want to know whats going on in France, please visit my blog and leave a (hopefully nice) comment. Aside of that, I would be happy to get emails or facebook messages about what's going on with you and the LC.

Alors,
bonne soirée et au revoir!
Alex

EB Teambuilding & Planning

Teambuilding - 02. & 03. July 2008 - BauAkademie, Steyregg - Coach: Kevin

What do five people need for a two days teambuliding?....Well, I don't know what "normal" people need but i can tell you what we - the EB0809 - needed: Ropes, 4 scarves, 1 tent, flipcharts, markers, a personal object, canvas, fingerpaints and much, much more! ;-)

Andi, Basti, Kevin, Mikel & me

What was the goal of this TB?...Enabling the EB0809 to profoundly get to know each other through participative and interactive exercises [imagine the following situation: building up a tent in the middle of the night with one person not being able to hear anything, two not being able to see and one trying to coordinate eyerything while there's thunder and lightning around you], personality assessments [Basti is blue, Mikel is yellow and Andi & I are green] and feedback processes to increase the effectiveness and future results.

Were we successful with achieving this goal? ... Oh yeah, for sure! We are a team now and we will rock as EB0809 of LC Linz!!! :-)

strong bonding --- even during lunch ;-)

building up a tent while it was raining and storming, but we made it!!! [we just forgot to also get inside the tent and that's why, according to Kevin, we died ;-)]

studying each other's "Insight Discovery"-profile [unbelievable but it just fits perfectly] --- EB-Team SWOT analysis

building a Lego fire engine --- in front: our model; behind: the original one [hardly any different; so this time we survived! ;-)]

Our vision: "Growth, development and performance through respect, honesty and trust" --- walk of trust

Teambuilding - 04. & 05. July 2008 - Linz - Coach: Martina

During these two days we put up plan for our term inlcuding focus areas [members, structure, increase number of TN takers/enablers, external communciation and branding], strategies, actions steps as well as a timeline.

me, Andi, Martina, Mikel & Basti

But it wouldn't have been the planning of the EB0809 of Linz if we hadn't had fun - and trust me we had fun! I don't really know how you, Martina, could bear with us these two days, but you definitely proved that you are very patient and tolerant! ;-)

Here are some impressions...

Mikel daring to tell me what to do --- you betta respect the VP Comm.!!! ;-)

Kevin - the most innovative and inspiring coach ever!!! ---- Martina - the most patient coach ever!!! --- YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

Special thanks to Kevin and Martina for being such great coaches! We know now where we want to go during our term and we are convinced that we will walk this path together as a team!

We will present our plan as well as our budget at LK1, Thursday, 10. July 2008, starting at 6pm in K123 A.

So, see you tomorrow!
Take care!
