Weekly Topic: Collaboration - Public /
Private Partnership.
I will begin by citing one of our latest activities of the week “our visit to Oracle” we were welcomed in one of the
meeting rooms for presentations following: www.oracle.com
Driving Business in a Globalized World; Importance of a compliance
culture, Corporate Citizenship (key Themes: Education, Environment);
Sustainability and climate change and had a Panel Discussion on Talent
Development, Diversity and Women in Leadership.
I remember that "Right people, Right place doing the work
Right" and "As a leader, you-have to make others successful"
The half day presentations gave me the opportunity within short time to
learn from these great leaders who back the pride of this second CLASSIFIED
Company after Microsoft.
We watched a video on WECYCLERS about the company of a young Nigerian,
is a must watch video clip that will inspire you at http://wecyclers.com/
In the afternoon, the Staff of Oracle took us to volunteering activity
with Nature Bridge, an Oracle grantee,
together with Oracle employed to clean the headland of marine non-native plants
/ weeds that risk over-running the local flora. We were all dressed in the
colors of Oracle. Nature Bridge thanked us and awarded a certificate of
appreciation and a cup has the effigy of Nature Bridge to each of us. What a
nice day… https://www.naturebridge.org/
Our second visit, which is cultural, was dedicated to the community of Oakland Museum www.museumca.org this museum traces the history of
California and its people. We have an overview of the Museum and a presentation
on "Cultural Preservation and the Relevance of Museums" in the
meeting room. We visit all the galleries of the Museum before returning to
Berkeley, the experiences gained had thrilled us with a desire to strengthen or
having Museums in Africa that talk about the history of our community as well.
Our third visit is also dedicated to a museum, this time, it is more
specific: "California Academy of Science
Museum in San Francisco." The only site on the planet Where you can
explore aquaruim, planetaruim, and natural history museum under one living
roof. I enjoyed the experience of a simulation of earthquake, which is common
in this region. www.calacademy.org
