I went on a course today after work. Communication Skills. It was someone being assessed, using our main room, so we all got a 'free' session.
It was the usual sort of thing - I've sat through a few as a postgrad. She started off giving us a lump of playdoh each, and asking us to model something that represented how we saw ourselves as communicators.
After a bit of thought, and in desparation, I modelled a pair of lips as an open mouth, to represent 'talkative'.
Anyway, after that she got on, and we all sat there fiddling with our playdoh.
I made an elephant. When she saw it, she said it was the best model in playdoh she'd ever seen.... At the end of the session, she wouldn't take it back to squish it, so it's sitting on the office windowsill.
If I have to do any more courses like that, she's going to run out of playdoh!
