By Chris TalbottWhat a day! After 8 weeks of working with our clients, 2 days at their offices, interviewing clients, sharing our insights, today was our day to really buckle down and start developing the implementation tools that will best help our clients. Our client is really relying on our team to develop tools and solutions that will increase revenues, provide structure, and integrate new systems that can best allocate resources towards a common goal. Our client, Bridget Darko, is a brilliant leader and we are learning so much from her on how to lead young talented people and a thirsty business in a country that starves of resources. As we sit and listen to her share her leadership philosophies, we are mesmerized by her experiences, wisdom, and strength to welcome change and persevere through challenging obstacles.
Our team needed a small break though and decided to head to the Art Centre in a crowded taxi to experience first-hand the Ghanaian craft markets. What an experience!! Some of us negotiated prices, some of us chatted with the local sellers, and a few of us bought goods to share and remember our experiences. Getting to see the local artisans sell their goods and fight for business really puts into perspective the extremes of the world and what people must do to survive.
Our day ended with hard work that we know our clients will soon appreciate, that will result in positive impacts on lives here in Ghana. This continues to be a trip like no other, with new experiences each day that none of us will soon forget.
