Regan, did you get my bags???
This morning we awoke at an early hour after a late-into-the-evening night at a steakhouse (this was at Stephen’s suggestion, I was trying to find Sushi! But, for sure, he did eat fish for dinner), to jump on a 7:30am flight from Seattle to Sacramento to catch a luncheon. Stephen insisted, endearingly, that he visit [...]
Terrific Three-Hundred: Bellevue, WA
While last Friday marked the official “kickoff” of the road tour at our Corporate Univera Xperience event, tonight was the first official “on-the-road” event held at Maggiano’s in Bellevue, Washington. It couldn’t have gone any better and served as the perfect launch into a busy but exciting week. On the car ride back to our [...]
The Great Blondin
Today marked the official start of our Road Tour across North America at the Corporate offices right here in Lacey, Washington at our monthly Univera Xperience. It was the first day Regan and I were back in the office for two weeks, and the last three days have been pretty sleep deprived so it was [...]
Hello Hainan Aloecorp!
Today was the Grand Opening of Hainan Aloecorp, a very significant accomplishment for the ECONET and particularly those involved in Hainan Aloecorp–which is run by CEO Jeff Han. The morning was relaxing, since we didn’t have to leave early it afforded me the opportunity to take a long walk on the beach and see the [...]
The Significance of Steadfastness
Tonight we arrived in Hainan Island, the southern most part of China. A gorgeous island that could be compared to the grandeur of Hawaii but with a different charm and atmosphere uniquely its own. I’ve never been to Vietnam, but it has what I imagine to be that sense of flair from the somewhat steamy–though [...]
The Whisper of Tienanmen Square
Yesterday was the second day touring Beijing. Tiananmen Square was magical to me. Not really because of the “sights to see”, there isn’t much. It’s a very large open space, surrounded by Government buildings including the Grand Hall. It’s, instead, the experience and feeling of the history. Odd as it sounds, there’s a haunting atmosphere [...]
Do you need anything Mr. Ambassador?
Yesterday was our first full day in Beijing. Regan is the only person who has been here before, so each of us were like little kids discovering one of the most unique cities in the world. The FLC members arrived into Beijing two nights ago, Saturday late into the evening (North America’s Friday). Within, I [...]
Power Up!!!
Two years ago a small group of us attended Univera Korea’s 30-year celebration at their annual Convention. 30,000 people in the Daejon World Cup stadium in Korea. Despite cold and clammy weather, it was an incredible event attended by nearly every Univera Associate in Korea. Most Conventions are intended for the “mid-level Associates” and up [...]
Seoul, Korea: “The Farm”
This week I arrived in Seoul, Korea, to participate in a few of the ECONET Worldwide Executive meetings hosted by Bill Lee and the other Board members as well as some team building activities. An incredible week. Coming into it, I felt I knew a lot about the resources, the plans, the people, the vision. [...]
