Yes, it’s true, my hair color has changed: it’s blond now. Well kinda’. It’s more of a greenish blond. I think I mentioned my friend, Soso the hair stylist, in an earlier post. Well he needed me again and this time it was a lot easier to say yes. I just was damn curious … sorry :).

Last month I was asked by Nico, a good friend of mine to deliver a training at the Train the Trainers conference held in a village near Pitesti. This is kinda’ sorta’ the first time ever since I’m an Alumnus to be an external at a national AIESEC conference, so I was quite surprised … in a good way :D.
I must say they did everything right in the way they handled me … a month in advance notice, numerous reminders and documents explaining the agenda, objectives, transportation, etc. I’m usually very hard to please regarding these things. Well believe me I could not say a bad word, not one, regarding the whole process from start to end. I quite honestly have never been better handled since I’ve became an Alumnus. It reminded me of an older similar experience.
I’ve had two things to prepare, a “Video’s in presentations” learning circle and a “Presentation skills” training. I knew I had to prepare these trainings as people from Dale Carnegie, real good trainers would be delivering there and I felt I had to live up to the expectations. It felt really good doing research and preparing my trainings, the Power Point actually Keynote presentation. It was reminding me of the old times :), nights spent preparing, the joy of delivering, the satisfaction of doing a good job.

Hey :)
I’m trying to keep up but I’m in an extremely busy period … so bare with me.
Not so long ago I’ve been invited to a friend’s birthday (Daniel). I figured it will be a dull Sunday afternoon and therefore I managed to arrive late :). His father has built a house and an artificial lake with all kinds of fishes lurking inside a few km of Sibiu right near the E81 European road. If you don’t know what to look for you can easily drive by and never notice it. The lake is behind an earth wall protecting it from the constant noise just a hundred meters away.
When I made the first 20m off the main road I was getting mixed feelings about the place … i wasn’t going to stick around for long … what could I possibly do here in the middle of nowhere? After just 50 more meters my perspective changed when taking a steep left turn, the an incredible view unveiled itself in front of me. As you can see from the pictures bellow, the place is amazing, just like a small corner of paradise, in the most unlikely place a hundred meters of a busy road. After that last step, no noise was getting trough … peace of mind, quiet.
