Lunch break

At Fu Hong soy bean milk shop - now an international spotlight for both domestic and international tourist
I love the thick cake and soy bean milk , nothing to do with Heath ! It's not a concern here !

Kevin Lin inc

Kevin decided to use his name as the brand name : I have no objection about it and tell him once he have think through others comment , he can make decision on his own!
Kevin just been elected by president ma as his national policy advisor - probably the youngest adviser ever in the history of taiwan : good or bad ? I have no andrew but with a smile . This is an assignment you can't reject but difficult to perform . An honorary offer so to speak.
Today we focus on " super run " the campaign he initiative and build a dream to go global :
1. The biz model
2. Context of CSR
3. Sponsorship Strategy
4. Nature of proposal
5. Brand co-development
6. Product placement
7. Some synergy with 3D camera / Ba group
I did a mid-July warship with them by 11:00, my second time to join local traditional ceremony !

Management outsourcing

Ambassador engaged many consultant to run the new business . Consultant provide ideas / review others ideas / offer solution / create work but rarely share the responsibility .
Co- create project and solution and at the same time to commit on process and procedure - if one more step further - respond for result - it will be perfect ! Although there is no legal binding , or will develop a sense of ownership for mutual party .
A solution and result driven consulting is what I call management consulting , what will the existing management team do and perform ?

2 crabs cost 1980 NT

It's expensive ! I bought it at Liao ling night market - one sea food restaurant ! It seems like a less expensive people restaurant but the price for 2 crabs is pretty high !
As I have appointment with Gary tomorrow afternoon . To compensate Meiling's birthday dinner and the business development , I bought these 2 live crabs !
When asked what kind of cooking style I prefer : I response with onion and egg fried . It came out with a stream cooking , I don't want to argue for this but hope the taste is good also and I won't return for it !

A cut meal and presentation

I shoot 2 and the place for coaching is recorded as well!

A Cut with Angie

She talked a lot and sometimes take a pause and talk to herself is she talk to much ?
There is no room for me to coach but to listen - almost 3 hours non stop talking under her throat condition ! It wasn't a easy task for her .
I am involved too deep in the group and kind of leading to a maze .
Old and new . Prove and proving . Who is qualify and who's not . The loyal group and the other group . Too many consultant spoil the soup!

Morning session with toto

Graduate student from NTU jouristism ! The interview is about forum worker or a peg outside YPO -
One hours conversation and a brief understanding of what is it about ? My price may scare him a little bit ...
Need to check the template once I am free

Late night talk with sound

Sound shared his career about study economic and pursue his career as stock broker? For this we discussed a lot late last night
To enter normal high school is a dead end as I told him earlier - the only way out it to get himself to a relatively good university - for this he agree but the step next is blur - a Bette chance to enter corporate - but no clue about which industry and what role
I may help him pursue more internship opportunity and explore to business world earlier . Maybe this is what I can and should before he learn how the corporate world operate

A day with Yu Kwang in Taichung

Take 12:30 pm HSR to Taichung , arrived by 13:19, ate my lunch box on the train - the famous Taiwan railroad lunch box but not HSR lunch box.
Yu greet me at exit B1, he drive a new Lexus CVS , smile and grey hair . 69 years old now and we havnt been really update for 9 years : the break point come to his convert fully to Christian and my lunch of CSR country . It depart both of us and it defenetely throws some trivial stones to our friendship ! I received his " are we friend or enemy ?" message to me last week and I decides to take this trip to see him.
Yu relocate to Taichung 3 years already . He show me the unusual experience about Taichung : see how they sell the house . I see the sample house : a real house with exactly the same measure of the house and miss yen show me and introduce me how the house is going to present ! Until the end of the trip , I asked how many of them left unsold ? No is the answer. The pre-sell done on the same say thy announce to build it - so classic and do unbelievable - the construction company build 10 project in 20 years , every case is master piece , no wonder Yu want to show me around
Next step is to his new house . We're he bought 3 years ago. At the nation fine art museum . Another master piece and even more details on the construction ! The quality is too good to believe .
We then begin our update at one little cafe and desert house - French style and great ambient . I believe we stayed three more than 4 hours - from his update . To connect the list moment in 9 years : ella cold war and it seems to an dead end / wife problem with Jonathan / Jonathan financial issue and his support for 390000 USD / Martin misunderstood with father / little girl have little boy and not favor the old one ...
We finish our conversation and have dinner at tai bai house - it's been so long since our last dinner together .
What I am asked :
1. Send a : what Roger is doing flier to him- he will do some sales for me
2. Find time talk to Marin and resolve misunderstood in between
3. Invite Matthew to Taichung and get together
Yu sent me back to HSR station . He didn't preach this time . I took 9:01 train back home
9 years reunion in 9 hours

Coaching teresa at AMBA

This is a new brand out out Ambassador Hotel , integrated with creative and art flavor - Hubert pet project to spin off at the 50 years of establish A hotel .
Teresa was hired for prepare the Hotel and to run it - for the second part. It seems not clear to both party . Teresa has proven track record in developing new hotel for owners and experience more than 10 project 20 years ago !
Culture adaption is the presentation topic Teresa choose from our pilot forum - I encourage her to volunteer and she accept it ! Until today I didn't know this topic bring her so much pressure.
Teresa shed her tears many times during our session . The key issue I see is :
1. Her love and passion in develop against her responsibly in operation
2. To conduct productive meeting with old management teams : for this she can't figure it out what to do
3. Other attraction outside draw her attention to what she love : all the beginning is hopeful
4. Need and want in life
I love the eat bar and the collection of books - family place through

Meet KY at Ta Ya with Celine

Celine want to propose a " Green Shop " investment proposal : with CID / Da Ya and CSR :
And I meet KY there ! It's been a long while , that's Fon start up days and the potential conflict between AJ ! I have a wild guess that Celine develop gesture with him in the old days !
Why Celine introduce him for such opening : YK is a father now ..
We exchange something like one note to go with old house revitalize ; long car group leverage ilan for mr brown cafe development , how I see " the school of life " set off transition base life case for interest group ! I am so into sharing ideas ...

Session with Ryan

Yes ! Ryan did have a bias toward Steve ! And it is accumulate from somewhere ! So, victor defend how Steve struggle for health and family issue won't be a good sharing ... Especially when Ryan share the movie / the capital and the counsellor ! I knew exactly how he apply it to Steve case !
3 things Ryan address :
1. Schedule of authorization
2. Board authority
3. Grand help
In regard to the mail Steve send : whether it's a disrespect to corporate governance or inappropriate of procedure ? Ryan reinforce on his thinking and getting deep and deep : too much on head and not heart !
Coach needed ? If coach is for bringing attention ! It's been done and not needed anymore.
How to reach a win win and regent she the consensus ? A good question to have next

Upstate with professor Chuang

A good reunion with professor Chuang. Update what I am doing for the last 2 years and invite his idea about how I see myself .
Management in 3 areas : community / company / managers - Chuang is interested in organization and manages and this is what I focus about !
EMBA goal and vision in NTU lost consensus as Chung mentioned , a good finding and how to create value for EMBA graduate ?
- connect with school
- share the story
- tie up it's facility not only classroom
- bring the core value even graduate
Yes ! Alan de bottom and individual

Good people helps Taiwan in early days

They are missionary with special talent and contribute to the land and people here in Taiwan .
The exhibition is now at the Wu Foundation where the location is NTU house hotel : leader hostel !

Walking in NTU campus

40 minutes walk decrease my blood sugar , sitting in aubergine kung kwang store ( translate to eggplant curry ), I feel hungry now.
40 minutes let me feel I am a graduate from NTU , old tree and classrooms, campus is more dynamic than before , a little bit surprise here and there!
I should apply my NTU alumni membership. Not for enjoy the benefit to buy or consume staff in the university , but to reconnect my identity and association . An EMBA graduate is distance to normal student !

iCloud

The convenient to you across device and platform lead to a potential leak of your privacy : in case you share your device with others or accidentally someone pick up your device and your cross-platform information pop up : just as it did just now , my private appointment with insurance agent record on my iPhone synchronize with iPad and Meiling is use my iPad at home -- she send message ask who mis kang is and why meet up at police station ?
Thanks God this is a under the sun business .
Digital leave trace and all records somewhere ! Don't trust it !

Coaching session with Roger Wu

I talk more than victor today : I mean too much . Even he save words but I am here to listen :
We begin with what happen since last Saturday and how I observe the chemistry develop between Ryan and Steve , then follow with a after victor session sharing with him
Learning today:
1. Victor need more direct in seduction in brand development
2. Victor need to pick up sales or find someone to fulfill the role
3. We need to aggressively do Internet sales and marketing and identify qualified expertise
4. Don't reluctant to work with new person
5. Lead Ryan to a brand develop road and influence on his appreciation one what we been through !
Another coffee at ikira and late night talk with Meiling : 4 days before her birthday !

2012年8月27日 星期一

Home now

Not feel like attend juro crystal vibration session at Winds place tonight ! Sent message to theo and buy dinner for kid / jelly fish sticky soup for Meiling .
The old Korean jelly fish ( squad ) vendor is an old memory of mine ! I used to buy 2 for my mother when I was between College : my 4th year at institution after senior high school ! Back to the old days. The entry rate for attending university is around 30% So if you fail to enroll , then you have 2 choices : apply institution for coming year examination or join the army ! That's old taste and old memory !

Bump into George Ho's exhibition

On my way to check " At Here "- a cafe where Celine and Meiling met the first time for my own company ; CSR community - its the first time we officially been introduced to her husband : and this is how I saw it today

Whaling by chan an east road . A new gallery post : George Ho -- hey I not expect to be there since I receive invitation from mrs Ho - chair lasy of tong Ho structure steel and senior YPO member
Heard a lot about George and his achievement in art ! Among YPO seniors : Royce / Patrick : son of wen Ko and George have been talk about for very long
George himself is in the galley , I didn't introduce myself and take 5 minutes to appreciate his art piece / archly : geo shape : colorful

Coach breakfast with victor

From 8:30 to 10:30 am! My projection told me he will be late! But his projection to me is : Roger never late
The session begin with how we evaluate chuchun restaurant at Ambassador hotel - used to be the signature restaurant in Taiwan and not been well appreciate these days and follow with why and how roger and victor co-fund Esoterism :
Steve want to prove himself of operation in start up
Roger Wu want to prove design is not or award or
Victor want to prove a global brand dream can be achieved
Ryan is upset about the mail sent by Steve , I don't have a clue whatsoever until he call by noon : he is address on corporate governance and bring up the attention to everyone
I make a not to talk about it at offs e suggestion but not been accepted and ask for being facilitate on the session tomorrow ! He call and brought bak his anger : this is a chemistry issue o me , about how Steve know or don't know about it
Victor call and share the " replace account " order from Ta ya - I thinks this is a lesson Ryan address
How to perform my facilitation session ? As ryan said : it's challenge and he is welcome all meeting request !
It's over now ? Or just a beginning ?

3. YouTube music really help me to set the tone and reduce preparation time
4. I need to provide more coaching experience to help other re-connect

Gary ! Albert ! Bobby and Ryan / AJ

Gary doing his best to support his brother not even care about the overall image of 5 star hotel : if you are member of YPO and know him well :
1. In the room : the boot drink provided were from Bobby's company
2. At the lobby bar : the korean soft drink were from bobby as well
3. Mall : display product of Esoterism . Via the introduction of Ryan
4. Second floor : the biz centre alter to a game center with the flavor of albet or his company gammania
5. First floor book store : chin shu cafe by tsu chi were introduce by AJ
6. Flying partner : Trans Asia airline owner is Vincent
There must be something I don't know falling in the same rationale ! What a brother and what a hotel

Park view hotel assessment

The assignment taken after training in Macau and one discussion with Gary !
I decided to take my first trip right after ambassador consensus forum training !
This is the first time in the history of park view hotel someone ever conduct the assessment and interviewing session with them - after 18 years in operation!
Peter Chan who is brother in law with Gary . Now almost 60 who burned himself when supervising the construction of Park View hotel ! With a new face full of scars , he share with me how difficult to overcome the inferior feeling and facing the world ! It took him one and half years under 6 plastical surgery ! Peter gave his life to park view and in return he live in park as well !
2 of the most spoken mangers I interview with worked with my YPO fellow members before . One with AJ at accton and one with Mark at DaChan in China , those who see the world outside Huilien have difficulty to live the park view culture !
Old and loyal senior employees seeds satisfy with life in Huilien and park view !
David is the vp in park view, the highest rank office running the show together with Peter!
Gary seldom visit Huilien , Non of the hr dept. were hr major nor did they taken any hr training on the job , it's a local build and local run operation !
Park view equip with the greatest view in Huilien , should be better !

6. Corporate issue can be explore in an open way and become the good general topic for presentation and coach

MRT to sang Chu

Meiling woke up earlier than I expect ! I propose to take the second run movie a Sunday event for us !

As we need to move a tree from the wall - it penetrate and soon will break down our wall ! The nice old man spend 3 hours ( according to Meiling ) clean up our little garden and move away all the weed he presume ! Sound is sad . He plate it and watch it grow ! So the big quarrel begin
