Ratanakiri Training 21-23 July

From the 21-23 July we provided training for staff at International Cooperation Cambodia's (ICC's) Ratanakiri site office based in Banlung. The training comprised three full days of staff development - presenting training in understanding mindsets and behaviour, introduction to personality types (using the DISC model) and teamwork/communication. We trained approx. 35 staff - of whom half were christians and with a mix of khmer and ethnic/minority group peoples. It was challenging presenting to such a wide audience - but very rewarding for us all to see the teaching being understood by most and all people participating and enjoying themselves (in particular when it came to the games - no surprises there!!)

We all had lots of fun and had some great feedback from the staff in Ratanakiri. The staff were incredibly friendly and easy-going. The scenery in Ratanakiri was fantastic - we all loved it immensely. Here are some pics taken during the three days of the training. Enjoy!

Ratanakiri looks like paradise compared to Phnom Penh. Pity it takes so long to get there.

Did you see any quicker take up in the training compared to PP?
Would a 3 day intensive be an option for the forums run in PP?
