If there’s one competency I lack which I believe is very essential is driving. If you ask me if I have driven a car? Yes. If have driven alone? No.

I guess for me it’s an issue of competency. Being an HR practitioner, I still relate most things to what I have learned in the workplace. From a Human Resource point of view, competence takes into account the combination of knowledge, skills and behavior used in performance of a specific function. Competencies can be developed with proper training and coaching.

So what do I lack here? I believe it’s coaching. A coach should be have the patience, knowledge and skills in developing the abilities of the people they are mentoring. A coach should be able to inspire, motivate and push its clients to achieve the desired results.

As for me, I don’t have one. Hubby just does not have the patience to do it. At the back of my head, I guess it’s one way of him showing me of his fear of me driving alone. Especially when he hears all those modus operandi victimizing car drivers. I guess that’s sweet in a way.
I know and I can feel his concern. He would not let me use a second hand car for fear that I may have a hard time maintaining such. Point taken. Hubs was even looking at cars like bentley, Hybrids and Hyundai Santa Fe. Not that we can afford those automobiles, lol! He just loves looking at cars. I told him that a small, affordable and a very fuel efficient car was enough for us. So despite the fact that it pains his pocket, he strived hard for us (me and the kids) to be able to use a new car. Nothing fancy.

Hubby is not the “showy” type of person but his actions would definitely demonstrate how much he cares. He will even read reviews of automobiles which you can find in sites like www.thecarconnection.com to know more about the car he is eyeing. Furthermore, he does not push me to drive and does not question my competency to drive. He just allows me to be me. Funny, because it’s my kids now who is pushing me to drive

I don’t know, I cannot seem to push myself to do it. Maybe in time… I really cannot say.
