SELECT Program - Alumni Facilitators 2011-2012
SELECT Program benefits much from our facilitators' passion and commitment to give back to the University community, and to invest into the younger generation by sharing their experience and insight. They engage and interact with the students through various learning activities, and also provide feedback for our ongoing program development.
Module 1: Introduction to Self and Group
Roles (Sept 28th and 29th) Charlie and Tristan bring in a dynamic discussion on the application of MBTI and similar tools in recognising strengths, enhancing self-awareness and self-management, understanding team development and functions. Charlie and Tristan's strengths in team facilitation, inclusive dialogue, sincerity and sense of humour are altogether combined to effectively challenge us to think in new ways about how we work with one another. They also provide their experiences and insights from their directorial/managerial roles at Research in Motion. |

Module 3: Values and Goal Setting Jim's ability to inspire positive change and engage with what meaningfully drives people make him, truly, a life coach. As Jim walks us through the session, he helps us ask thought-provoking questions about why we do the things we do the way we do, as well as how to purposefully direct and effectively accomplish our goals. As a Chemical Engineer and Life Coach, Jim places a priority on seeing young people, especially engineering students, live out of their core values for their personal and relational wellbeing. |

Module 4: Decision Making and Managing Problems (Feb 29th and Mar 1st) Braden's exciting venture to different parts of the world with basketball is only one part of what distinguishes him as a special alumnus from McMaster Engineering. His insight into the group culture, personal character and relationships involved in the processes and impacts of decision making helps us re-evaluate our challenges and our approaches. Braden also focuses on deeply engaging with the students as they work through group problems. Braden serves as the Division Head of Green Buildings at Enermodal, while continuing to provide Project Dunk as the President and Acrobat at Slam Dunk Entertainment. |
