Incredibly busy day getting ready for the all-day seminar on Wed and Thurs. Chick fil-A visiting execs, Mark and Brandon, were a huge hit in class tonight. Their detailed knowledge of operations of their stores amazed the class. I have never seen a class this animated, with non-stop questions that took us 30 minutes past break time to finish discussing.
Wed-Thursday, Oct 19-20
Fabulous but exhausting two days, delivering a two-day seminar with Mark and Brandon from Chick fil-A followed by our usual class 6-9. The seminar was a huge hit. Had about 110 leaders from 19 of Rwanda’s largest companies. Rwanda television covered the first day. Print journalists there both days.
Attendees loved the interaction—games, role plays, exercises. They commented that it was much more interesting and fun than the usual training. They were very animated and very sharp.
Couldn’t have asked for better contacts. Many said they want to attend our entrepreneurship course. The information technology division head at the Rwanda Development Board asked if we can run 200 small IT businesses through our program.
Three of the companies in Crystal Ventures holding company say they want us to provide in-house training to their ten companies. The Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority wants us to give the training to the airlines, immigration, customs, and all other airport personnel. The largest cell phone company wants in house training. One banker said he wants follow-up training specifically for banks.
