"Ghana Project - Phase II - Day 10 - Phase II Finished

Following our day with the FSW group, it was three busy days.

On Wednesday, I met with my partner for the FSW to recap the Tuesday meeting and discuss all the follow-up actions that will need to be done.  Following that, I had a meeting with a prospect for coaching I had met the last trip. It was very positive and we will be moving forward. Ended the day with a Rotary Club meeting in the evening. You can never tell what kind of meeting you will run into. This was a celebration for an incoming President that was loud and raucous.

Thursday was a full-on Ghana-man-time day...that is the local term for people pretty much coming to things whenever they want. In fact, all the business aspects of the day when well. I had three prospects for coaching that all are moving ahead. But for the first one, we were to drive an hour and a half out of town to see an example of a water well system for a village, leaving at 8 AM and getting back at 12:30...only our guy didn't arrive until 9:15! Having been very late for the first meeting, we somehow made it back and to our 2 PM meeting...where we promptly waited for an hour and 20 minutes before our meeting started, which since this was a lunch meeting at their restaurant meant we were starving by the time it took place. We managed to do our work in 40 minutes and still got to a 4:30 meeting on time. The day ended with another Rotary meeting.

Friday was a bit mellower because I was staying in the same hotel for all the meetings. There was a new mentoring group of four women organized by one of my existing coaching clients, the introduction of one of the FSW women to one of my clients for potential Personal Assistant work and finally a recap meeting with the guy with the water drilling company.

I was totally wiped out after the week though really enthused about the progress made in just my second trip. Very glad to have a weekend to chill and relax before schlepping back to the US.
