When I told my Indonesian colleagues that I was heading to Korea for a month-long contract they asked me: "So Miss Leslie, will you be visiting North Korea and teaching them about team building and the 4 Key Concepts (Team, Communication, Trust & Creativity)?" Wow, I thought, these people have way too much faith in me and my abilities!
No, I went to boring old South Korea... no missiles, no nuclear development and no big posturing national leaders. Instead I worked with a wonderfully progressive and friendly International school in the Seoul area, supporting and developing their outdoor education program.
