Greetings from the Fairmont Dubai, 

What an exciting week I had in Dubai.  I flew business class on the 2nd direct flight out of Toronto to Dubai on one of the best airlines in the world – Emirates Airlines.  It took less than 12 hours.  Mind you I have been traveling to Dubai up to eight times a year for eight years now and have always had to go through Europe.  It has always taken 24-30 hours to get here, so you can imagine how trilled I was to do it in less than half the time. Toronto to Dubai direct via Emirates Airlines is the only way to go.  

Unfortunately, I flew out of Ottawa and had to use our Canadian carrier, and without using their name, guess what happened?  With two hours to connect, my baggage never followed me and got loss in their system.  I arrived and checked into a suite at the beautiful Fairmont Hotel Dubai on Sheikh Zayad Road, and felt right at home.  Three days later, just an hour before a major presentation to the Board of Directors and Senior Executives of one of Dubai’s leading Master Developers, my bags arrived.  You don’t know how thankful I was.  I was most thankful again at the end of that day, as we entered into a long term agreement for sales training and coaching.

Then late in the week, I was reminded of an interview I did when I was last here in September for one of the local magazines as it just came out, Arabian Man on Live your Dreams; Fulfilling Career Goals.

This week we are providing you with some tips on Interpersonal Behaviors.  Next week we will provide you with some Decision Rules for Boundary Problems.  So, stay tuned!

Have a G.R.E.A.T. week!

Bob
