Guide Training! Bangkok 2008
This review is not perfect, because there is no way I can describe how much I enjoyed this year’s guide training! The only way it would be better is if next year we could all travel to Cambodia or somewhere else (hint hint !!)
How lucky I amto be able to work independently here in Bangkok! I wish Andrea could come visit more often (how many people say they want there boss to visit more? – no one else – just me!)
I had a chance to talk to each of our guides and here is what they had to say when I asked them to attend guide training:
Guide Kie says : Training again? I will come for training, but can I please skip the dinner cruise? That way I don’t feel like I’m working 😉 I always try to give our guests the very best service.
Guide Ron says : Yes, confirmed – I will be there. (Guide Ron never refuses work…he always there for us.)
Guide Bee says : Yes, I’ll be there. But how about this year we have the training in Cambodia? J
Guide Well says : I am so happy to see Andrea, I miss her so much. (Guide Well’s baby is just 8 weeks old now, so she will stay with her baby most of the time, but she will come by for some of the training)
Jeab : I had a dream that Andrea was a scary boss! Now I’m scared to go to training!
Finally, I received everyone’s response and everyone is confirmed for training. The training went really well. We learned new things and even got gifts, and some guides received special “Quality Service” awards.
After training it was time for the party J Jeab and I took the guides and the rest of the Journeys Within team who joined in on the training (Kristina, Narla, Mom and Reat) out to a fun Bangkok dance club. Meeting these other team members I felt like I met my new brother and sister.
After all was done I said “Bye.” to my little bosses Callie and Couper. Hope to see you all next year.
Waew.
