Why follow a Gordontraining?
An internet forum on parenting was the first place where I read about Thomas Gordon's model for effective communication. I bought his book Parent Effectiveness Training, starting reading and then is kept lingering a bit. Because learning skills from a book is not working too well for me.
What it did bring me was a growing desire to master the Gordon skills. Because the Gordon Model applies not just to the relation between me and my kids. It will also strengthen the relation between me and my familiy, my partner, my colleagues and my team.
And when I found out about the Leader Effectiveness Training, I convinced my manager that this was just the training I needed to further develop my leadership skills. I followed L.E.T. and a world opened up. Several practical skills to help setting boundaries, confronting others and resolve conflicts. To clarify who owns the problem, effectively solve my own problems and if applicable leave the responsibility of the problem with the other person and help them at the same time solving it themselves.
After a few years I decided to refresh and deepen my skills and joined the training to become a Gordontrainer myself. I certified for PET (Parent Effectiveness Training) in 2017 and subsequently got certified for LET (Leader Effectiveness Training) and BYB (Be Your Best or Personal and Professional Leadership).
