AUGUST 2007

Project Superhero - Touching Lives

OTi has now conducted two 'Achieving Personal Effectiveness' workshops at Changi Women's Prison for some 40 inmates, on 11 June and 26 July. Participants were introduced to SMART goals and taught to develop their Adversity Quotient (AQ). One OTi consultant was assigned to each group of 5-6 inmates and small group discussions were the order of the day - this allowed for individual sharing and personalization of what was being taught.

The participants' feedback has been most gratifying:

• The details provided are relevant and useful for our future life.
• Feel like home without getting anyone left out.
• Course materials are very good and effective - easy understanding for the less educated inmates.
• We are well-respected by the trainers and the course is very useful to me.

OTi would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to SCORE & Changi Women's Prison for assisting & allowing us to conduct these workshops.

On Aug 3, OTi brought together Certified Practitioners (All those who have been Certified by OTi as a DiSC Behavioral Consultant) and DiSC users, from various business sectors, for the first meeting of the newly formed Community of Certified Practitioners (COCP).
