(BOBBY)
– Introductions.
(1)
Introduces Management Team and TWI Leadership Teams by countries.
Bobby had the individuals stand up and introduce themselves.
It was really precious to hear everyone introduce themselves and find out more
about their personality. I wish we had it taped since you learn a lot about
the group by their intro of themselves. Bobby selected Pat Walton to go first
to share her career success since she was the prime example of someone who
selected a career and was happy with her choice after so many years!

are"
(1)
Includes activity - "What is the meaning of
time?" with team members divided into Animal Groups, using large paper
squares and pencils for each person (Bobby will provide the paper and
pencils). Discussion of how knowing what Animal you are makes you aware
of the people around you, makes you more sensitive to their actions and
the way they react to you and to situations, helps you to work or
play with others in a better way.

- Review the schedule for tomorrow's Program (1) Meeting time in the morning (2) Camp4Kids over in the orphanage
area -- Handout the Schedules to the team members. AND remind them that
schedules will be posted by the Registration Table and on each floor at the
top of the stairs.
Everyone was given a TWI4kids team shirt to be worn constantly
throughout the weekend.
The group walked down the street to the Villa Azzuro restaurant.
TWI / Drew treated the first drink (not certain who did this actually but it
was important to have us all together in a social setting and a nice
icebreaker! Great start for the team bonding.)
The groups started mixing with each other and you could see
relationships being formed. It
helped that Emily, Kristin, Dzenan also knew the Kosovo group and the Serbian
group (David and the Bosnian team knew them as well).
The Villa Azzuro had live music and the older group stayed to
listen as the younger group was led by Emily to her favorite bar St. Tropez….I
believe the group had a great time there and the leadership team TWI4kids was
formed!!

discussion/ team activity
Icebreaker - David Kozar did a great icebreaker involving each
participant drawing his hand and writing briefly about what each finger meant
to them. He did a great job explaining the process and used his hand to make
it personal. Then he had each person at the table talk
about what each of their fingers represent. Then he had someone from each
table tell the entire group about the process.
Pinky – your weakness
Ring finger – what are you committed to
Middle finger – what makes you mad
Pointer finger – point to something that is positive in your
life or, that inspires you.
Thumb – what you are proud of (accomplishment) Thumbs up!

Talking Point: "Advice for our future: I can accept failure. Everyone
fails at something, but I cannot accept not trying"
Bobby followed the icebreaker with the Personality test. Once
understood, was well received and referenced the rest of the weekend. It was
good that each team member completed the test before they arrived to the
workshop. I then graphed the teams to show what personality types were in each
group. Bobby first explained the meaning behind the L (lion), G (giraffe), O
(owl) and B (bear). She gave each person back their test for them to review
their personality which was very helpful. She then divided the group by
personality and had them all describe time. Drew, Bobby and I stayed out of
the groups and observed. It worked perfectly and was hysterical to see how the
different personalities demonstrated the personality traits.
I gave out Lion, Owl, Bear and Giraffe (or giraffe like) beanies as the
described their process. I then shared with the group the graphs of each team
charting their personalities.
USA
had mostly lions (3 each) One Owl , One Bear/Lion mix, One Giraffe .
Bosnia & Herzegovina had Lions (1) Owls (2),
Giraffes (2), Bear/Giraffe (1)
These two teams charted similar in their extremes in personality.
(chart showed that the lions, owls, giraffes were strong in their personality
trait and not balanced between their other personalities)
Montenegro
:
Giraffe (1) (strong giraffe)
Serbia
:
Lion (1), Owl (
1),Giraffe (1), Bear (1)
Kosovo: Lion (3), Owl (3),Giraffe (1)
Serbia
and Kosovo showed that they were very balanced with their other personalities
We then broke for the summer camp for kids. As an experiment I
placed giraffes in charge of the craft room. Our giraffe lead was from
Serbia
. had fun to watch them embrace the style of the giraffes. Chaos reigned but
it all worked out and everyone had fun.
Majority of the Owls were in the music area and they started
playing the guitar and singing instead of doing the structured activity that
was the usual case in the music .
Montenegro
is a great place to experiment.
