Second day in GLC - Toronto
wake up 6:30 in the morning, by the hotle wake up system, I can't believe that I can conquer jet lag so rapidly. 10 minutes later, receiving message from wife, asked about adap a dog for Fruit, I call back home in 6:50 am and started to talk with her , skype help me save decent telephone fees.gethering by 7:30 am for the breakfast before opening ceremory of GLC. accompany S. to his late registration, so we lost in the PATH , couldn't find our way to meet with other members, we managed to go to the venue - Humbingbird center by asking locals. and saw them in the venue taking seats for us.
The opening day is not as spectacular as Cape town. slide show is good, however, there is no other live / interactive activity or attractions, I am a little bit disappointment and believe they are building the momentum little by little, Loay's speech is great, he is a nature born politician, born in Saudi Arabia and take the chairmanship of YPO last year, I remember when he visited Taipei the first time, we took him to villa 32 from CKS airport directly and stripped of his cloths, offering him a naked welcome at the hot spring, it was like yesterday.
David Martin imporved, I like what he said " The best wisdom is coming from collective wisdom, and diverse collective is the best among them ", the opening speech runs for about 1 hours. we walked back to the hotel for the first day training - the break up group. the group I paticipating is Forum, which I was before, the program is different from what I got last year, although it's more condense and structure, but the assistant trainer was not professional enough, it reduce the power of having new member sign up for the Forum.
We had a working lunch at the venue and right after the lunch, rod deliver a speech entitled " Starfish and Spider ", sharing about the leaderles organization. it will creat lot discussiono or debate in Taiwan.
gethering by 6:30 pm, fate brought me to sit next to Peter, who run a green energy ( alternative energy), I hope it can be connected with my CSR initative. arrvied at the Collusium by 7:00ap, it's free entrace and free leaving. I am asking to leave the venue and join the dinner with our chapter member again, I don't know why S. wish to do so, it really reduce our chance to make friend with other internationl member.
Dinner at the Pearl again, by the lake, no sun, no wind. just eating.
