What a team!

So today we've got a break. We had the last tasks of the Top Team course this morning and I've just come from a Q&A session with an instructor at the college and a validated ATCO at LTC (London Terminal Control). It's finished leaving a gap in the program.

This morning I got the first lead again and I was much more relaxed and happier. I tend to talk too much and I don't listen. I wasn't doing the nitty gritty of the task, I was mainly encouraging. we did great. It was some silly stepping stones nonsense and was quickly and effectively executed and we managed to do it before one competing team and after another, ie we came second and I was happy. The team was really great and went well.

Next we had a fairly easy exercise made very difficult by the group and after that it was the last race between 6 teams. It was a chariot race and the brief was handed to us. I was elected the leader by the group.

I won't go into the details but our team won fair and square about a minute and a half before any others so I'm feeling pretty good about myself at the moment! It was just brill! I've been smiling more now, especially after yesterday, I was dissapointed and frustrated, now I lead the winning team!

Got to get back for some more Q&A, this time with some current trainees from Bournemouth College...
