As part of the Self Expression and Leadership Program that I am doing with 
Landmark Education in Melbourne, I have taken on a project which will 
develop leadership skills in me (and hopefully the people who participate).
The project that I have chosen is to enrol 30 or more people in getting 
together for a picnic and a Bungee jump. The process of enroling the 30+ 
people in the possibility that they can face their fear of heights (and 
death and engineering technology!) really involves me in being an 
inspirational leader and expressing myself in such a way that they see the 
project as something they are interested in doing.

Now obviously I am going to get a lot of people who will say NO! ('are you 
nuts' is also a popular refrain), but the program has taught me the tools to 
overcome the stops arising from being turned down and continue on enroling 
other people in the project. This has also extended to being unstoppable in 
other aspects in my life.

So what am I looking for here?

I am casting my net wider and looking for anyone and everyone who may be 
interested in being part of my "Spring of Life" project. The event will take 
place on Sunday October 20th at Bungy Vic in the Pipeworks Fun Market in 
Campbellfield, Melbourne, Victoria. The cost is a measly $55 (or $40 for 
your second jump) and a BBQ (both meat and veg) will be provided free on the 
day. If you are interested please feel free to email me at bertolini@eng2.

I have never bungee jumped before so I know I will be facing a few fears 
myself. But the day WILL be heaps of fun especially with the large group 
getting behind each and every jumper!

:)
