>Where we’ve been
We have been quite fortunate in our work as we have met some terrific people from many parts of the world. Here are some of the places we have been.
September 2019: an excellent, 4-person MSCEIT certification class in London. A visit to the US Coast Guard Academy.
July 2019: conference on EI in Perth Australia – www.icei2019.com. I really did not want to go – it’s a long trip and mid-winter in Perth but this was one of the best and most productive experiences ever.
June 2019: planning meeting at the cool TWA Hotel at JFK.
April 2019: presentation in Samara Russia.
SEPT 2017: speaker at Yale School of Medicine new faculty orientation. Then to Florence for a 2-day MSCEIT course and speaking at a conference.
AUGUST 2017: Yikes, so much for staying current. This calendar year saw three trips to the UK, one for pure fun. September in Florence is something to look forward to. Although I’ve not updated this page in some time, the time was spent, in part, on a little book for leaders written with Lisa Rees. Sending the manuscript and proposal around and hoping for some interest from an agent or publisher.
MAY 2016: Tokyo and Kyoto was a pretty good trip – meetings and presentations. Also, a great fast food lunch in Tokyo station.
MARCH-APRIL 2016: Been to Beijing, LA, Dublin, Amsterdam. Workshops, presentations and a book launch.
