The Diary Game: 28-06-2022 | Strategic planning consultancy workshop with CAGEAD
My daughter, Kahlan-Amnell at Ayaba for her Swimming/Basketball lesson
My kids and I had washed the car on Monday and that's how when I woke up at 06:00 AM, I only had to wipe the car. After wiping, we engaged in a rapid cleaning of our Laundry/Kitchen sink behind the house. We washed it for about 45 minutes and then they prepared to go for their Swimming/Basketball/Table Tennis lesson at Ayaba Hotel.

Due to time constraints, I couldn't have breakfast at home after my rapid bath. We left home at 08:00 AM to pick up my friend's kids who go along with my kids for the lessons. Dropped kids at Ayaba and rapidly drove back to the office to prepare for Strategic Planning Workshop we planned to hold with CAGEAD (Center for Advocacy, Gender Equality, and Action for Development).
Bought sugar balls and juice from the bakery on my back to the office to have as breakfast.
Got to the office at 09:00 AM when my boss, @nforyembe, CEO of Y'G Inc. called for a brief meeting with consultants and resource persons for the workshop. I work as Sustainable Development and Social Entrepreneurship Consultant for Y'G Inc.
We left for CAGEAD at 10:00 AM, @nforyembe drove us to CAGEAD for our working session that started at 11:00 AM. For over seven hours, we reviewed the CAGEAD strategic plan touching on key aspects such as mission and vision, values, organizational SWOT, etc.

The CAGEAD team offered us a coffee break and at 16:00 we had lunch. For lunch, I tried a Nigerian meal I've always heard about, Fufu rice and Ogbono soup. Ogbono soup is just like okro soup and this is something I'll definitely want to eat again and again coz it was good.

We worked till 18:00 when we concluded and drove back to the office for a brief evaluation meeting. At the office, we met @chant and @fombae who were about to leave but decided to stay so that we all could go back together. Our brief meeting ended a few minutes past 19:00 and then @nforyembe decided to offer us a round of drinks for the great job we did.

I drank Guinness and Smirnoff Vodka. When you mix the two, it tastes ....
I offered a second round of drinks that carried us till 20:30 when we all left for our homes. Got home, showered, and had some really good sleep.
