I've been posting snippets of my thoughts here and there on other people's blogs for a few months now, ck them out at BNET.com, Focus.com, etc, or just google me for some of my writing and speaking engagements. 


Go also to my leadership page to see what I think of the public leaders. I might be talking about you! ;-)

Presdent Barack Obama turns 50, and We're having a party! August 4, 2011 @ Roadhouse Bangkok

I would like to invite you to a good old fashioned party.

In these times, when it is increasingly hard for good leaders to do good - we should celebrate and give cheer to those who somehow manage to make their mark. Next week, let's raise a glass to US President Obama!

On a personal note, it would be nice to catch up with my long lost friends, too. And for the VIPs among you, please call me directly to arrange a proper reception, should you be free to honor us with your presence.  

 

Here's the information:

This is a free event, but please don’t forget to register! RSVP to me by contacting me through my Contact page before Wednesday, August 3rd (and please let us know if you’ll be having the buffet so the Roadhouse can prepare).

Leadership & Diversity

I will be speaking at the Joint Chambers Breakfast on Wednesday, May 11, at 7:30am @ Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit.

In a globalizing political economy, we need to take advantage of diversity, not fall prey to its problems - but how do we do that, and what is the role of the leader? Join a multi-chamber discussion on one of the hot topics in multi-national business today.

We'll touch upon ethnic, gender, and personality issues, and combine current diversity themes with business challenges. Find out how expat leaders in Thailand can leverage diversity for success.
