Know Your Style


Our July Workshop was Myers-Briggs Type Indicator presented by Dr Andrew Block. Used by many companies such as such as Hewlett-Packard and governments around the globe, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® is the most widely used instrument in the world as a foundation for understanding self and valuing
differences. It helps us to understand our own personality type hence enhance our ability to communicate and work with others and be a better leader to our team.

Online feedback was positive and we thank volunteers who made this workshop a fantastic one.

Pinoylmpics

Peter Reitano, an outstanding JCI member, attended this year's Asia Pacific Conference in Manila. Peter represented our Chapter at a very interesting joint project called Pinoylmpics. Here is what Peter has to said about his experience.


JCI WHITEHORSE MAROONDAH REPRESENTED AT JOINT PROJECT IN MANILA

During the 2011 Asia Pacific Conference those Australians attending were asked by Don Bales (JCI Sydney President) to attend a joint project between JCI Makati Princess Urduja (all female chapter), JCI Makati (all male chapter) and JCI Sydney.   David Phelan (JCI Melbourne) and I (JCI Whitehorse Maroondah) attended.  This event was "Pinoylmpics - promote our culture to the children, learn our street games". 

The event was held in a less priviledged part of Manila.  During the day the children were divided into teams and we were made captains of the teams.  They showed us some of their street games and taught us a few dance moves.

Lunch was also provided and Vitamin A drops were given orally to the children who are old enough.  I understand these drops are taken a couple of times a year and help stop blindness.

This was a great project and one at which I was greatly honoured to represent JCI Whitehorse Maroondah !

Regards,
Peter Reitano
