Anticipation

I'll never survive the week before the race!
Arriving in Valencia Spain to attend the SIETAR Europa Conference (ADIET Fundacio Universitat Empresa) is filled with anticipation and expectation. I am looking forward to meeting peers and learning about cutting edge practices and processes in the field of intercultural communication and management. I am also looking forward to “running with the bulls” –not really, but it least running on the streets where the bulls used to run. 

Where the bulls used to run.
Marta Williams, as keynote speaker shared stories of her grandfather and the development of business in the 20th Century, ending with thoughts on one planet, one chance at destiny. My thoughts wandered between her butterfly analogy and my friends in Nepal who are still digging out of the rubble of substandard housing and infrastructure.


I guess the question is, ”Does any one person really make a difference?” Marta says YES! I want to believe her.
