Yet another phenomenal day in Nica! Today we began our first day of teaching our seminars in both Managua at the WFU property and Catarina. We had two beginner seminars in Managua and one advanced in Catarina with over 40 total participants! Each of the businesses seem engaged and eager to learn fundamental principles of business that will surely serve as a solid foundation for further business success. Another point of excitement for the businesses involved is the opportunity to meet dozens of other business owners in various industries with different experience and perspective.
Each of the students provided great summaries of the material given and helped engage the students in various icebreaker and group activities while those not directly involved in teaching spent a good amount of time working on deliverable assignments for the businesses visited in the previous days. Continual productivity will most certainly help the Project continue to thrive and maximize our time while here in Nica! I had the opportunity to teach the Brainstorming session here in Managua and it was great to see the businesses coming up with ideas to help each others’ businesses! During the seminars, the Project had three different news outlets come to cover our efforts in Managua. In fact, we had to interrupt our daily debriefing because we were on the news! It was fantastic exposure for the program and we are looking forward to additional interviews as well! I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this fantastic initiative and look forward to seeing how the Project grows in the future!
