Corporate-Formative Trainings

We're developing training modules (eventually facilitate them) that aims to find that connection between Corporate skills (skills learned in the working environment) and Life skills (very much like the formation we received in the seminary) - it has a single purpose, to provide the lay with the tools they could use both in their professional lives and in their participation in the Church (and Vice Versa). The courses vary from Project Management Trainings (how to plan, prepare, start, and of course finish a project - seems every organization or groups in the church do have projects...may also include finding the budget for it,hehe), First things First (yeap, based on Covey's Time management - very useful), Presentation Dynamics (includes standing infront of people and managing nervousness), and Team Dynamics and Managing Diversity (everybody happy )

I found this particularly interesting being in the seminary as well as in the corporate world - we do have seen both worlds. and if there are those who can find meaningful connections between work and life, it'd be through our eyes. While it is true that God always sees His church through and guides it accordingly, we also do our part in sharpening the saw. The fact that we do have seminaries tells us that we need to prepare people for their ministry, there's no reason not to prepare the lay as well in view of our common priesthood. This may not be lucrative in its monetary sense, but God sure knows how to take care of His own.

If you are interested in helping this endeavor or gearing towards training/facilitating, feel free to email me at brian.bernardo@live.com On the same note, if our friend-priests, parishes, or organizations may need these kind of trainings, we'd be happy to help. Thanks guys.

If you need an extra facilitator, sign me up.
Makatulong man lang.

Corporate skills and life skills do indeed make a well-balanced concept of training which integrates appropriate work habits with one's spirituality. Such is the answer to our pitiful Filipino situation. You might have heard about "split-level Christianity" wherein one's habits of relating to people are contradictory to one's own beliefs. Going to Mass regularly but at home abusing domestic help are classic examples.

I am one with you in this line of thinking and am looking forward to meeting you.

@Tovarisch - thanks man; we're still finalizing the materials but i'll keep you in mind once we have a green light.

@lpg_7578 - thanks; been into training/facilitating for quite some time and it's quite safe to say that things end up quite fragmented. We thought of this concept-training for one thing, that work should be humanizing...to think that one can find spirituality with work is not too far from that. Looking forward to meet you as well bro.
