Train the Trainer Training

This week I'm in Hong Kong for Train the Trainer training (try to say that three times fast). Sun recently launched a new set of management classes and one of the tenets is that Sun managers should teach them rather than a consultant. So I'm here with three other managers and we're learning from one of the greatest - Master Trainer Mike Andrew, the author of "How to Think Like a CEO and Act Like a Leader."

Tomorrow I have to do a demo of a session called "Leading High Performance Teams". I have to do a decent job otherwise I won't get certified and if I don't get certified I won't be able to teach the course so wish me luck!

Meanwhile I'll leave you with some pictures taken from Sun's Hong Kong office, which is on the 66th floor of Central Plaza. The views are stunning even on a rainy day. It's a good thing I don't work here because I wouldn't get any work done, I'd be looking at the view all day long.

Thanks Kelly! I passed my demo session today so if all goes well tomorrow I'll be fully-certified! I'll post an update on my blog then.

Hmmm.. We need more of ém - good leaders! Best of Luck!

I will go one step ahead and say that I'll spend my weekend evenings at office just soaking in the fantastic view.

I'm pretty sure you'll pass, even though we've never met. Pretty high caliber and it comes through on your blog!

And, great shots! I like the ones where we can see your reflection in the window....
