Leadership Training Camp

Many were called but few are chosen. This quotation definitely fits the leadership training camp which was participated by different student leaders among recognized student organizations of Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas, held at Brgy. San Sebastian, Mataas na Kahoy, Galilee Place Resort and facilitated by AIB Training events Consulting.

The camp recognizes all leaders of different organizations through a thorough training and giving impact to show each one’s responsibilities and capabilities. All leaders were gathered at LPU gate on August 6, 2011, 6:00 am. Everyone was divided into five teams namely red, black, blue, white and green. The trip to Galilee Resort lasts for one and half hour. During the journey, each group were given chances to talk and know each other. At the time of arrival the students are gathered in a hall to listen to Mr. Jesus Francisco Villamor IV on his talk about etiquette in the workplace. After the talk everyone was enlightened on how they can have a proper etiquette while in their respective workplace. Moreover, Mr. Al Ian Barcelona, the managing director of AIB Training Events and Consulting Co. discussed the leadership 101, foundations and qualifications. Afterwards, leaders eat together and shared all the foods prepared in the table.          The activities became a friendly competition with the different games to test teamwork, cooperation and most especially leadership.

Early in the morning of August 7, all were assembled in the hall for new activities. Each team were given time to participate in making a memorable frame on how the leadership camp is all about and what did they experienced or find out. One representative explained the concept of their work. It was then followed by sharing on what happened in the camp and what realizations each participant had.

The leadership camp is indeed full of happy memories that each leader will reminisce. It will then be a reminder on how they will use the knowledge they got. Everyone will greatly find out the impact of leadership towards teamwork and excellence. And to end the event, all agreed on what Henry Ford said, “Coming together is the beginning, keeping together is progress and working together is success.”
