Tuesday was one of my days off—the only two days I really look forward to in any given week. So instead of spending my free time playing aimlessly on World of Warcraft this week, I had to go a stupid High Impact Coaching Class.
The idea of High Impact Coaching, transforming managers into better leaders, is quite a sound idea. However, leadership qualities can’t be taught in an eight hour class, and when you cram a 2-day class into one, it loses a lot of it’s impact. I was interested at the start, but after 5 hours of watching the same video over and over again, it lost a lot of it’s attention grabbing qualities.
The highlight of the day was lunch. Previous HIC classes have had steak, nice restaurants, and what not; but we only had the restaurant at the Holiday Inn. Of course, the company picked up the tab for all of us, but the Ruben sandwhich I had wasn’t too good, and everyone’s fries were cold. We all ended up having to chip in to buy $7 pots of mediocre coffee to keep awake also.
I was so damn tired that after I got home from that class, I fell asleep for a good six hours, waking up to a text-message at 11pm, and throughly throwing off my sleep schedule. I was so tired today when I got home too, but I’ve forced myself to stay up to 3am or so so I can get my 8 hours of sleep and get back to my ‘normal’ schedule.
