Are you tweeting? And other news

1. Twitter

This twitter thing has been on my mind for many months now and quite honestly, I still don't get what's the fuss about it. Following my motto: "you don't know it until you try it" I finally signed up on twitter a few days ago: http://twitter.com/keepprogressing (in case you'd like to have a look or send me comments on Twitter).

Any idea how to get a 'following' there? Am still a very green newbie on Twitter.

2. Progress-U News

Am quite excited to share that we have two new colleagues at our Progress-U office in Hong Kong. As our assistant Rosanna Shek - who has been with us for almost exactly 3 years - has decided to expand her experience by working in a different company and perhaps different role, we had to look for a replacement and found one in Vanessa Lui who joined us yesterday. Rosanna will hand over her work to Vanessa and have her last working day on 31st August 2010.

Also, we eventually hired again a Business Development Director for Hong Kong. Owen Wong will join us on coming Wednesday (18th August). He has already experience in doing similar work with one of our competitors here in Hong Kong, so he should be 'up and running' within a short period of time due to his past experience.

I wish both of them a great start at Progress-U and all the success they and we wish.

3. Hot upcoming events

After a hot summer (which is still ongoing here in Hong Kong) follows a hot event season. We'll have 3 special events coming up:

facilitated by Charlie Lang

facilitated by Frank Bresser (flying in from Germany) and Charlie Lang

facilitated by Lenny Ravich (flying in from Israel) and Avi Liran (flying in from Singapore)

Hope to see you at any of these events!

Keep in touch!

Charlie
