High Performance Leadership Program Milestones

At the culmination of my HPL's Public Speaking Workshops for the PCJ Parish Church Commission on Youth, we, the facilitators, received this nice certificate from the PCJ Parish Coordinator and signed by the Parish Priest.

Listed below are the milestones leading to the Public Speaking Workshops that were conducted for the Presentation of Child Jesus (PCJ) Parish - Commission on Youth as my High Performance Leadership (HPL) Project.

Apart from these milestones were the other activities that occurred prior to the workshops. These activities include communication via Facebook messages, text messages, email and informal meetings. They are too numerous and detailed to include in this post.

Date	January Milestones
Jan.8, 2018	DD Jayson contacts DD Jeffrey and seeks Division H volunteers to assist the Youth Ministry of the Presentation of the Child Jesus (PCJ) Parish in BF Homes at Parañaque City.

Jan.9, 2018	PCJ Parish Coordinator Minnie contacts Club President Leah. PDD Raul confirms with Leah that the project would qualify as a High Performance Leadership (HPL) Project. Les accepts the project for HPL and is advised by Leah to select the Guidance Committee members.

Les asks Ching to prepare an Icebreaker speech as a demo for Prepared Speeches.
Feb.14, 2018	Minnie confirms final date, venue, pax and demographics of participants. The number of participants is slightly reduced due to an unexpected parish event (Basic Ecclesial Communities Meeting) that coincides with the scheduled workshop date. Ching confirms to prepare Ice Breaker speech

Les prepares sample table topics as a contingency plan. Writes down all topics suggested by Russell on slips of paper for drawing. Les prepares a few presentation slides for contingency.
Feb.17, 2018	Raul informs that he cannot make it due to some unavoidable circumstances. ACTUAL TRAINING AND WORKSHOPS Minnie awards each of the facilitators a Certificate of Appreciation signed by the Parish Priest. (See above photo in this post) Ching collects the evaluation forms filled-up by the participants. She will summarize the results of the evaluation for assessment purposes.

Even if we, the facilitators, were not complete at the workshops as shown on February 17, we were able to recover well and made the training session a resounding success.
