6th day – 23 June



Yoga in the morning as usual and again very good and pleasant.

Today was the first day we spent as a full team working on the project itself. We spent time deciding on the identity of the team, the task - what we are doing, where we are doing it and when (we will be travelling to a different part of Ethiopia each week, what our roles will be within the team, how we will work together, and what our rituals, ground rules and practices will be. We also worked on our personal visions. Mine is "to be more about the journey and less about the destination". It was interesting to manage myself in adjusting to the others in terms of pace and also process.

Tonight the Leadership Dialogue was held with three alumni of the program. Our team, i.e. the Ethiopian team interviewed them and asked them questions about their individual experiences. Their stories were overwhelmingly positive, quite inspiring and very honest about the challenges that lie ahead.
