Believe it or...Ciao(Vietnamese for hi/bye) Larry. <br /><br />Believe it or not, I finish your entire blog in 24 hours. Read every one of your entries and was hooked from the beginning. Amazed and jealous with your experiences. I love your humor and style of blog (detail in needed areas only - no bs). I am an aspiring FSO and really appreciate your blog. Please keep it up.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385045798200623265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202901451222737258.post-41604833503438360902010-08-18T20:41:19.233+02:002010-08-18T20:41:19.233+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385045798200623265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202901451222737258.post-12498218367071851222010-07-26T19:49:01.826+02:002010-07-26T19:49:01.826+02:00Dear Beau Geste:
Greetings. I am a Training and ...Dear Beau Geste:<br /><br />Greetings. I am a Training and Development profession living in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California.<br /><br />I am responding to two RFP’s for the Foreign Service Institute for “experiential learning” (ropes courses etc.) in Leadership and Team Building. I can give you the two proposal numbers, one for civil service FS folks and the other for FS Officers, if you wish to verify.<br /><br />I was wondering if you have a moment to answer two questions:<br /><br />Q1: What are the particular challenges of leadership and/or teambuilding that you find in a Foreign Service posting?<br /><br />Q2: If there were one thing you would like FS Staff to know before a posting overseas about the interpersonal/leadership challenges of this assignment what would it be?<br /><br />One proposal is due Friday 7/30 and the other Wednesday 8/13. I would not mention your comment by name in developing my proposal only by continent: “…from a Foreign Service officer currently serving in Africa”<br /><br />I am happy to Skype you at your convenience if you don’t feel like putting finger to keyboard.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Roger Kent<br />Nevada City, CA<br />530-632-2062<br /><br />I know not how to aid you, save in the assurance of one of mature age, and much severe experience, that you can not fail, if you resolutely determine, that you will not.<br />-- A. Lincoln July 22, 1860 Letter to George Latham<br /><br />rkent@theprojectgroup.biz<br /><br />p.s. thanks for doing what sounds like a thankless job. I have lived and traveled enough abroad to know why I want to return to America!Roger Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861407927956393310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202901451222737258.post-36287401308752231252010-07-26T19:31:14.838+02:002010-07-26T19:31:14.838+02:00I'm dreaming of being posted to Italy, and you...I'm dreaming of being posted to Italy, and your updates and stories make it seem all the more possible.
