Ulysses Program - Review Program in Tarry Town New York



During the review program, all teams - Laos, China, Mexico, Uganda, Ethiopia and India were sharing our team story, not only with other Ulysses teams and facilitators, but also with members of US leadership team and US extended leaderhip team.

During the program, we have been debriefed for Leadership, Diversity and Sustainability obtained during the projects. A lot of discussions on those topics based on our experience taken place during the week.

Further, the outcome of Ulysses journey is to gain increasing clarity of personal leadership vision. All of ys have all been working on our personal leadership challenge since the Foundation Programme. At the Review Programme we also worked on the next version of our Personal Leadership Vision which were shared at the end of the Programme.For Farewell Dinner, we have the dinner on a yacht which sailed in the Hudson River. At this time we really had fun time with all the participants and the coaches.
With the end of the Review Program, the Ulysses Program was officially adjourned.














































































































Finalization of the Project in Beijing


After finalization of reports in Fuyang and Hefei including carrying out workshops for SC Hefei, Fuyang, NGO's, Village Committee and Government Official, we headed to Beijing to discuss our reports with SC Country Director, Wyndham James who just replaced Kate Wedgwood as Country Director.

We addressed all issues and recommendations raised during our projects to him. The draft reports and workshop materials have been provided to him and he reviewed them entirely and if he has no any comments the reports were considered finalised.

Workshop for SC Hefei


At the end Kevin and I have finalised our report on the project in Hefei. As such, we needed to carry out a worshop for SC staff and NGO supported by SC. Based on our findings during the projects in Hefei we noted that the main issues for two NGOs supported by SC were that fund raising and governance. As such, we carried out a workshop for Fund Rainsing and Corporate Governance. Approximately 16 persons from SC and NGOs attended the workshop. In this workshop Kevin and I decided to wear the suit since we brought the suit but we never wore it during the project. We needed to wear the suit at least once otherwise we carried it for nothing.
