Successful Shanghai Training! Woot!

I met recently with a large client and came home wearing a suit – a rarity for me. When my son Travis asked me about this strange outfit, I jokingly told him it was my “monkey suit.” Travis then spent the rest of the day referring to it as a monkey suit. He’ll probably call them that forever! In light of my disposition for casual dress I can’t decide whether his calling them monkey suits is good thing or bad thing!

Well, the monkey suit is off for good now! Training is complete after an outstanding session here in Shanghai. Things went amazingly smoothly, I covered far more material than I did in Beijing, and attendees really seemed to like what they saw. Today’s session alone made the whole trip worth it. I’m very pleased!

I’ve got some blog posts to catch up on but they’ll have to wait a few hours more. I’m joining Gary and the Shanghai team for a celebratory dinner tonight. (I’m guessing it will be Chinese food!) Then I’ll be back to add more of my thoughts on China before turning in for the night. The local team has arranged for me to take a day-long tour of Shanghai tomorrow, which I’m greatly looking forward to. The weather should be nice and picture-worthy, so expect more dazzling additions to the gallery! Incidentally, I copied the day’s photos up there (at least, the day’s so far).
