We delivered another System Work course on April 26-28. It was our second – out of three – public class scheduled in 2024. The first run was in February.
The diversity of the participants in this run was unique. We had:
- One person from Singapore
- One person from Canada
- One person discovered System Work from an Instagram story, by a participant from the Feb cohort
- One person is the founder of a non-profit to assist adults with special needs to find work
I am happy to share that it went well.
On the last day, we asked participants to reflect on their experience and consider how they would describe the course to their friends, family, colleagues, or loved ones.
In their own words:
“We are used to seeing the world through our lens and perspective. That might have provided us with a narrow viewpoint. Thus, to live a more impactful life for ourselves and those around us, we need to expand our capacity and capability to make sense of what is happening within and around us.”
“You learn about how we operate as complex humans and interact with some other complex humans. The course won’t tell you what to do or how to do things, but it will equip you with knowledge about yourself, so you can digest and decide for yourself what or how to do things after.”
Humans are not born with a manual book…This is a course about learning to know more about yourself, how you interact with others, as an individual, a small group, and as a society. This course provides a safe space to explore and look around—it may help you find your missing piece.
Coming out of this course, I gained a lot of awareness of what's going on internally, and understand why certain relationships with others didn’t go as expected.
Every words I said matters,
Every movement I do matters,
Every feeling I have matters.
Thus, I learn to control/have a pause to be mindful of what I say, how I interact, and understand what I feel.
Ini adalah pelatihan menemukan dan belajar memahami diri sendiri, dan untuk memahami orang lain di sekeliling kita. Kadang kala orang bersikap tidak seperti yang kita harapkan, tetapi saat kita memahami kenapa, kita akan bisa menerima atau menghadapi keunikan mereka.

On behalf of Product Narrative, I am personally thankful for their presence throughout this 3-day course. Plus, knowing some participants have spread the word about the benefits they experienced to others, which managed to fill out 50% of the seats available for our last run in August.
My heart is full of gratitude.
Thank you for reading.
