Have not been able to update this blog for over a week. The Excel team has been busy preparing for the second module of our Leadership Development Program for school heads in Pampanga tomorrow until Friday. We will be tackling communication and design thinking/innovation for these principals. My staff--all two of them--are new hires, so we have been inserting transition and turnover stuff in the midst of our preps. I myself have been reviewing and getting ready to conduct a design thinking crash course for the second day of our seminar. Thank God for nonprofits like IDEO and schools like Stanford that provide free resources for budget-constrained organizations like us. Thank God as well that I took that design thinking course at Penn. I'm actually quite excited and anxious at the same time.

I'm hoping to be able to squeeze out our Fellows' creative juices enough that they are able to come up with innovative solutions for some of their schools' problems. Our goal really is to support them in improving the quality of education in their respective schools, which benefits not only the students, but everyone in the community as well. When they begin to communicate well and think in innovative ways, who knows what leaps the school can make with regard to improvements.

We travel to Pampanga today. Of course, the baby goes with us, so the house goes with us as well.

Internet is slow where will be, so updates on our training will have to wait. In the meantime, let me get back to reviewing.
