Today was a good day. We caught up on some paperwork and had a conference call with a couple of the Cause for Hope leaders this morning. Then we went to a neighboring city called Leon. It is about 30 kilometers away. The reason we went there was because Maria Jose asked me to give a sales training meeting to some of her sales people. Maria Jose is in charge of VisionSpring here in Nicaragua. VisionSpring sells affordable glasses to people. Apparently sales have been way low in Leon so we went there to give them a motivational speech. I'll admit I was a bit nervous. I really didn't know how it would turn out given the fact I had do it in Spanish and I really didn't have access to a lot of my motivational/sales improvement books and materials. F
ortunately I think it turned out pretty well. It may not have been the stuff dreams are made of, but I think it actually helped everyone there gain a new perspective on something and I'm really hoping it helps them produce more. We wandered around Leon a bit afterward. It is a lot bigger city than Chinandega and definitely has more to offer by way of shopping or food choices, but I'm still glad I'm stationed where I am. It was definitely fun to see a different area despite the fact we had to take a jam packed van to get there. I guess it is all part of the adventure.
