Lunch and a Nap!

I have spent the last 2 days getting to know my client – a family run business that is a member of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce in Haiphong. The family busy is growing – they recently moved to new location that includes their family home and the factory. Its all very comfortable, with open spaces, courtyard and all brand new. The new factory is ready for growth and they plan to increase the workforce to about 130 in the factory, along with the additional support they get from employees that work out of their homes. I am trying to understand the challenges they are facing and determine opportunities to contribute to their success.

I have joined the family for a home cooked traditional Vietnamese lunch each day. Following lunch, I have been escorted to a bedroom for a brief nap. This sure beats lunch at my desk while I’m on conference calls!
