[This] training is relevant in my conservation work because I am working with young fellows, coastal community, and other stakeholders in conducting necessary research for conservation works so I need to communicate them well and share visions, delegate tasks for the team. So this training helps me to know and understand types of powers and culture well in order to influence them in a positive way. The strategy of giving feedback in a positive way also gives me lots of insights in working and leading team in implementing research goal. In addition, understanding strengths and leadership style helps me to lead the team in the right way to achieve the common goal. This training gives me insights of how to influence community to make aware and understand the importance of ecosystem and natural resource in their area.
