Nepal's Leaders








I have just returned to Hetauda from our leadership course in Pokhara - a fabulous experience. 3 days of training, 15 select participants, and an amazing view of the Himalayas.

We had a great group. Dynamic, engaged, passionate, and skilled organizational leaders. I was grateful for the chance to spend 3 days supporting those who are doing focused work here in Nepal...

We had packed the course really full, so there wasn't much "down" time. At the end, however, everyone gathered on the lawn at our hotel for some serious dancing and singing. Have I mentioned yet that singing and dancing is a part of *every* training that I have attended here in Nepal so far?

There were a lot of difficult topics that come up in the course, which is why I know it was good. Leadership - and the work we do - is never easy, or simple. It's really important to be around others who understand this, are grappling with this, are always learning and working to do better, and who - at the end of the day - can still have a good time and laugh.
