DC Staff Update
9 November 2014
I'm grateful this week for...
The privilege of having Adrian as one of the workshop leaders here in Beijing over the past 5 days. It is not often I get the opportunity to see colleagues in action from the perspective of a participant, and can tell you that I enjoyed every minute of it.
Positive Psychology CPD
The feedback from the CPD days has been emailed to everyone. It was pleasing to see the learning that people had over the 2 days. In reviewing the individual comments, it was clear that Frances's presentation style and pace did not sit well with everyone. What was equally apparent was the excellent work done by Tracey and Evonne, especially over the sessions on Saturday.
Introducing
Michelle Ho - Cleaner
I have been working here for 4 years.
Something about me most of us wouldn't know:
Every Sunday we have a family gathering with our mother-in-law who also lives near our Peng Chau home. My favourite hobby is playing mahjong. I will play with our neighbours on weekends at a grocery store operated by my relative. I have 2 daughters. They are very independent. One studies at HK Polytechnic and the other is taking up Commercial Business.
Something you love about your job:
I like the regular working hours here in Discovery College especially overtime is not required.
