Leaving for Taipei
by Joel Martin ~ February 15th, 2007. Filed under: Business, Cultural, Diversity, Education, Leadership, Learning, Presentations, Speakers, Talks, Tipping Points, Training.I am getting ready to go to Taipei, Taiwan China for my first trip. I will be sending posts back to this blog with pictures. What an opportunity to make a difference delivering a program about tapping into ones personal power, creating ones vision, experiencing a connection with others, and accomplishing breakthrough results in business and elsewhere in ones life. I know that this is a transformational journey for me as well and look forward to learning from this “ancient civilized country with a history of over 5,000 years.†The Chinese culture is broad and profound and it is shaping our world.
Yesterday I purchased a Mandarin Chinese CD to learn phrases and to become familiar the language. I will be working with an interpreter but want to be able to speak some Chinese while there. Many will be able to speak English but it matters to me that I be able to communicate in some way to them in their language.
Communications is a two-way street.
