Centurion comes for interviews


 The Centurion Zone came for interviews on Wednesday May 4, 2016. We started with small group discussions on how to improve  our listening, questioning and use of scriptures.
Below are all zone members divided into three groups as they are preparing their creative workshops.



We also did a "web" activity and taught each other from our readings.

The zone leaders, Elder Swindlehurst and Wegrowski gave an effective workshop at the end. They plane so well and had a great discussion and also shared a TED talk on how to be a better communicator.
Their TED talk included these points:
10 Ways to have a better conversation with Celeste Headlee

1. Don't Multi-Task when communicating
2.Don't Lecture or Pontificate
3. Use open ended questions
4. Go with the Flow
5. Sat you don't know when you don't
6. Don't equate your experience with theirs
7. Try not to repeat yourself
8. Stay out of the details
9. Listen
10. Be brief

Their teaching was very effective. They also shared their own acronym: SCALE- and discussed it with good principles.

Bike repair and maintenance was offered by our capable AP's over lunch.
Elder Pickup and Elder Clegg are very good at demonstrating how to repair a puncture, maintain a bike and adjust brakes.
