Me at Little India
Lately, I’ve been traveling, not blogging.
In two months I’ve seen half of Victoria and some of Tasmania by car, flown to Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane–and revisited Singapore.
In the past year, I’ve trained several editors of major metro newspapers and magazines in presentation skills. The work is being so well received that our client (one of Australia’s largest listed media organisations) has commissioned a complete program for more editors and journalists in 2009.
My travels around Australia have involved running marketing workshops for businesses employing staff with disability. Our client is the Commonwealth government (FAHCSIA). We have nine NSW regional centres to go. I’m enjoying meeting many different people, many of them with great belief in and energy for the terrific work they’re doing.
In mid-October I returned to Singapore to work for three days with agriculture company, Monsanto. Monsanto has a lot of history, some of which draws criticism, but it does terrific work in agriculture and has an important place in the world, especially given foreseen global food shortages.
