Preparing for Judgement

Busy day of meetings with finalists helping them get ready for the competition tomorrow. Jason provided an excellent template to help them organize their financials. Fortunately, the finalists understood how to use it. John Bosco, manager of nine bank branches, is a real pro at spreadsheets and finance. We had fun playing with different scenarios for his business. They all seem to be gaining confidence, which is what they need to stand in front of the judges.

I asked Mathilde, a finalist, if she might like to lead a peer mentoring group of cohort 2 graduates. Her answer was an enthusiastic yes. She said she definitely wants to stay involved with the BDC. She sees it as a fulfillment of a prophecy 3 years ago that she would get involved with a high-level education/training organization. She feels called by God to participate in and promote the BDC. She said she will recruit dozens, if not hundreds of students.
