More and more I enjoy it, learn a lot and really I’m lucky I got this training. I didn’t attend the fourth day, for my bad luck, I heard that they had a really great session about Negotiation Skills and another one about PDD (Product Design and Development) and the feedback mentioned was really awesome about both. I think my team mates will do great presenting both to us. Fifth day was an intorduction to Market and Marketing Research, and WOW, is that what is really done?! I’m really amazed of all these steps to just start your own business life cycle - This should be completed in another way in the Entrpreneaurship Session in the last day -.
The next day, we completed what was started the day before, the presenter is a scientist in his field really, we had a lot of VERY useful information. How to search for a good idea to be implemented in you field of interest and how to do a market research for this idea. How to convince a sponsor and how to push him to sponsor you, it was really outstanding. This thing that was really EXTRAORDINARY is to have Mr.Safa Moustafa, the presenter of the sescond session on this day. We have met him on the first day in a session about People types and how to deal with everyone of them, but this time it was about 6 hats of thinking and how to organize, decide which hats to use and to wear ;). The session had a lot of messages inside. Can’t talk about Dr.Safa himself, he is great, I hope we can host him in one Scope of the CAT organized ones. He will really make us all think different about everything, even he will just come to have a conversation without a specific session topic. Briefly, it was the best session in the training!
Then comes today, the 7th day in the training, “Sponsored or not to be Sponsored”, an interesting name of the first session, a confident presenter from MIE, he is the founder of the idea and he came today to share us his experience and give us more tips in such topic. It somehow contained some stuff from the Marketing Research Session, but the interesting part is to how face to face start a conversation with the man of charge in the sponsor’s company. How to introduce youself, your idea, your team and the competion itself. One may ask, what’s the difference between the “Marketing Research Session” and this one; the first one introduced how the sponsor think, and how you should consider his market while talking to him, beside the whole Marketing Research topic, but this second was all about how to initiate a conversation with a sponsor, “talk” to the sponsor and deal with him through your idea’s marketing.
We still have two more days to end this training, and start the “searching for the sponsor” milestone, mainly if we couldn’t get a sponsor, we won’t be able to complete the whole competion so it’s really a great challenge. Pray for us.
. Back to depiak, and the Web Development Course meeting on Tuesday, I have to discus appointments and course contents and project. This will really affect the week after next, because the course will start then and mostly we will be having an everyday class for 2-3 hours!
