Two of the traits that really characterise Flowstars are curiosity and a willingness to learn.
To cater to these needs Flow recently implemented Flow Winter School, comprising a series of six workshops, lectures and discussion groups held on the Flow premises on Thursday evenings.
Not only did these classes boost Flowstar skills, but they also acted as catalysts for discussions around the coffee pot and were great team-building exercises, as we all got to know each other in a space different from our usual working interactions.
Feedback from the team was incredibly positive as, in usual Flow fashion, nothing was humdrum or expected about the classes – each one was interactive, useful and a little bit off the wall!
Having successfully run through these courses with our Flowstar guinea pigs, we would like to offer them to clients and contacts out there who could also benefit. Flow’s social networking classes have proven to be a popular attraction, so now we would like to supplement Flow School offerings with a class on creativity, as well as one on using Google Docs effectively.
All staff who attended found these classes particularly beneficial and interesting, leaving them with new skills that could be utilised in any field of work.
This is what the staff had to say about Flow School:
- “Loved the casual, comfortable nature of the classes – everyone was free to contribute.”
- “The Flow teachers were great – made it all very interesting and entertaining – typical Flow!”
- “Gained a lot in a very short space of time. Very useful stuff.”
Sessions will be held at Flow, and the cost will be R750 per session, per student.
