Work day #1

Some learning points from our first work day!

Providing good leadership means providing clarity to your team.
A good leader is able to anticipate change and to guide the team to make those changes.
Hiring can be key to providing the company the right future direction.

Also, I've been meaning to mention the poem IF by Rudyard Kipling.  It is worth checking out.

Our first working day we spent about half the day learning about our company and clarifying a lot of different things.  The second part of the day we spent doing some key research and getting our presentation together so that we can remain on the right track.  Tomorrow we will need to spend a lot more time diving into the things we are now engaged in as well.  Can't talk about too much with the company, but I can tell you that we are doing some good work!  Super excited to get more of a go at it tomorrow and also my whole team is very energized by what we are doing.  Our group dynamics are amazing and I am feeling very blessed to have a group that syncs together so well.

The second part of the day after work was good too.  Bevan and I also got a workout in at the gym, felt good to hit the weights after all the beer and bad eating I've been doing (not that I haven't enjoyed it!)  The food and beer here is phenomenal!  But Bevan and I have made a pact that in the next three months we are going to both get fit.  So that will be a fun way for us to stay in touch after the trip is over.  Even though we worked out, we had some good eats and treats tonight, totally worth it!  Check out the menu and pictures below.  Tomorrow should be another good work day and I can't wait for day 2 with our company!  Cheers!
