Hoopoe Bird
This is what was on the stop sign in a previous entry of mine (this photo is from Wikepedia.) Coaching Day
My friend eve knows what the weird bird is that I photographed! It’s called a Hoopoe. According to Wikepedia, “The Hoopoe is widespread in Europe, Asia, and North Africa, as well as Sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. It migrates from all but the southernmost part of its range to the tropics in winter. Hoopoes were considered sacred in Ancient Egypt and symbols of virtue in Persia, but were thought of as thieves across much of Europe and harbingers of war in Scandinavia.”
Today was the last day in the cycle. In between Assessment Centers, there is one day for coaches to meet people that went through the process previously. It’s a much easier day for me because there are no assessments done. I gave a presentation to the client staff, and then did mostly admin stuff like make the coffee, re-organize the materials for tomorrow’s new Assessment Center, arrange the rooms, etc.
Today, I’m attaching photos of a Hoopoe from Wikepedia, as well as photos of the consultants that I’m working with. Check out the nationalities. It’s like the UN. And what makes it more so is that many of these guys live in different countries than

Congrats on the success of your first Center!
- It sounds like it was all smooth sailing with your first AC - nice one! - Gorgeous bird with a fittingly exotic name (and good pic). - What was your client presentation about? - Are you missing home, or sufficiently distracted by the sensory overload? Keep having fun! :-)
