Dave Ellis
Workshop
From
October 5th-7th, 2013 a handful of Iron Range Engineering students attended the
Realizing Your Fullest Potential workshop provided by Dave Ellis. The workshop
was held at the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet building in St.
Paul, Minnesota. IRE students had the chance to participate in the event and
meet many of the other people who attended.
Attendees
came from all over the country: California, Texas and Virginia along with many
attendees from the Iron Range. Students learned many valuable leadership skills
during the 2 ½ days they attended. Out of all the topics learned I felt the
most valuable for me was learning to change complaints into requests. Rather
than complaining about a person’s actions, we were instructed to complain in a
constructive manner that includes requests that the person change the behavior.
Other topic included active listening and keeping notecards of desires and
wants to keep you focused on your goals.
Over
all I thought this was a very valuable workshop and I enjoyed going. Not only
for the topics covered but the chance to meet new people and to better bond
with my fellow IRE students.
