Essentially, we picked a destination on our itinerary and discussed a leader associated with that place. We created discussion questions about that place and leader to get our classmates thinking about what it means to be a global leader.<br />
<br />
When we visited the Blarney Castle, Diane Hawes gave her staff ride on the legend of the Blarney Stone.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">First, we were able to sleep in a little bit (like 7:30 but it was
still nice). Dagmar, Matt, and Dr. Rose headed out early and purchased
food at the local gas station -- I know it sounds silly to buy groceries at a
gas station but it was the closest place and it was pretty impressive on having
the food we needed. As an added bonus, the attendant checking them out
decided to serenade Dagmar singing, "Put your head on my
shoulder" -- not a typical gas station experience. Once back at
the hotel (which was more like a hostel), we had an amazing breakfast experience.
It was great how everyone chipped in and helped out -- some cooked, some
chopped, some warmed the butter, some washed but it was a great community
effort and a great breakfast of eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, fruits and
vegetables.</span></div>

I had my staff ride so on the bus, each traveler listened to a six minute story
about Durty Nelly. We arrived at the Bunratty Castle where Durty Nelly
was the toll-bridge keeper and started a restaurant. I shared her story
and we stayed for about an hour and a half for a castle tour, some shopping,
and a walk through the gardens.</span></div>

We took a great group photo with the water as our back drop and then got a
chance to put our feet in the water. It was very cold but made several of
us very happy (myself included). Some brave souls tried a local treat --
periwinkles. Just take off the cap, dig them out, and enjoy. Dr.
Rose I think enjoyed them the most. They were very salty.</span></div>

spent just under three hours but it was defiantly not enough. I think we
walked over 4 miles this day which was only a third of the total walking
path. Some of us were much braver then others (kudos to Tammy and Jason
for really pushing the envelope of being fearless). The pictures do not
even do this place justice. It was simply beautiful - a once in a
lifetime experience. We were all exhausted but the day was not even close
to being over!</span></div>

dinner with outstanding entertainment. There were about 125 people who
attended this dinner but amazingly enough, Lord Matt and Lady Emily were chosen
as two of the eight royal guests. Lord Mike was also deemed a prisoner
who had to sing for his freedom (otherwise his ears would be cut off)!
The food was great, the singing and dancing was wonderful, and the over all
experience was an outstanding way to bring the trip to a close.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Today we got off to an early start; we took the “short
bus” from Limerick to Dublin. Once we got to Dublin, we checked into the Jurys
Inn Hotel. In the lobby of the hotel we held two staff rides: the first on
David Norris by Chelsea & Emily, and the second on Mairead Maguire by
Dagmar & Sharry. We passed the beautiful Dublin Castle on the way to
Trinity College.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Trinity College was established in 1592 and is
Ireland’s oldest university with Protestant (Anglican) heritage. While touring
Trinity College, Tammy & Valerie gave their staff ride about Mary Robinson.
We then headed to the Trinity College Library for a tour on the Book of Kells. The Library of Trinity College is a legal deposit library for
Ireland and the United Kingdom, containing over 4.5 million printed volumes and
significant quantities of manuscripts (including the Book of Kells), maps and
music. The Book of Kells is an illuminated manuscript Gospel book in Latin,
containing the four Gospels of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke &
John) together with various prefatory texts and tables.</span></div>

Some of us went shopping and site seeing and others went to tour the Guinness

in Cork and began our next journey to Limerick.
Once aboard the small bus driven by Tony, we realized that it would be
so much nicer if he would be able to take us all the way to Limerick rather
than us having to take the train. After
a few phone calls it was determined that Tony was our man and he would be
taking us right to our new digs in Limerick. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of things available to us to actively interact with various parts of
history. Upon entry everyone got into
the mood by having some pictures taken of them at the soldier and Viking
outfits awaiting us when we entered.
Matt, Nan and Jenn dressed in period cloths for a few fun photos as we

interior of the castle which overlooks the Shannon River. Replicas of a smith shop, the mint, a chapel,
and a mason shop were there for us to see.
Everyone climbed the stairs to the top of the castle walls where we
could look out over the city and the river.
Of course, we all had to have photos taken and we had to take photos of
one another!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="en-US">In 1111, the Synod of Ráth Breasail decided that "St. Mary's church" would become the cathedral church of the Diocese of Limerick. According to tradition, Domnall Mór Ua Briain, the last King of Munster founded the present cathedral on the site of his palace on King's Island in 1168. The palace had been built on the site of the Viking meeting place, or "Thingmote" – the Vikings' most westerly European stronghold. This had been the center of government in the early medieval Viking city. Parts of the palace may be incorporated into the present structure of the cathedral, most prominently the great West Door, which tradition claims was the original main entrance to the royal palace. The West Door is now only used on ceremonial occasions. The Bishops of Limerick have for centuries knocked on this door and entered by it as part of their installation ceremony. According to tradition, during the many sieges of Limerick the defenders of the City used the stones around the West Door to sharpen their swords and arrows, and the marks they made in the stonework can be seen there today.</span></div>

Today is the second day of the Conference! The sun is shining
and the short walk to the University College Cork will be a pleasant trip. Sunset occurred at 9:46 p.m. last night and
it was daylight when the alarm sounded at 6:00 a.m so it feels as if the sun
never sets in Ireland! We will need plenty of daylight to accomplish all we
have planned today!<o:p></o:p></div>

We students are getting into a rhythm and met at the local
café for a quick breakfast before we headed to the Conference. This morning we
were first greeted by Steven with Paddywagon tours who guided us on the tour of
the Kerry road. It’s so nice to see a familiar face within the local community
to share stories and greetings! <o:p></o:p></div>

For the Conference, everyone chose breakout sessions to attend
and will prepare reports on them to
share with the other students. All of us will attend the Keynote talks. This morning's
speaker, Michael Morley with the University of Limerick, welcomed us with a traditional
Irish greeting loosely translated as, “welcome and 20,000 welcomes among us”, which
seems fitting for the hospitable way we have been treated during our visit!
Tonight, after a full day of talks we are off to Ballymaloe House for dinner
entertainment and dancing! <o:p></o:p><br />

We went through registration, got our name tags and our conference schedule. The group attended a Doctoral colloquium and then carved out time to review the conference schedule and determine sessions that we were interested in. The group signed up for individual sessions and a variety of topics were chosen. </span><br style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">After lunch we listened to a great presentation from the Keynote Speaker, Professor Sandra Robinson, on trust in the workplace. She presented her research that really made you think about what happens when trust is broken in the workplace and how to repair it. </span><br />

Planning for the conference started last October with details being finalized up to the last minute this morning. They indicated that they were proud that this is only the second time it has been held in Ireland.

Not for one specific reason, but for many. Today I was able to witness and enjoy the company and comradery of my classmates. We toured the campus of an honored educational institution, the University College Cork, Ireland. The history and tradition were readily visible everywhere you turned, from the celebration of the birth of George Boole, to the statue of Finn Barr atop the peak of the college, to the stained glass windows of the chapel created by Harry Clark we were all given inspiration by the creativity and craftsmanship that was put into the architectural design of the college. It is amazing to hear the stories of how this college, county, and country have adapted and evolved through the many centuries that is has existed. To hear such depth of history really puts things into perspective when you are from a country that is a mere 240 years old. The appreciation that the Irish people have for their country’s history is impressive and it is a joy to see them express themselves as they share it.</span><br />

We drove through Killorglin, in County Kerry, where every August
10, a three-day festival commences celebrating <i>Aonach an Phoic</i>, meaning
"Fair of the He-Goat". <i>Poc </i>is Irish for male goat.
Consequently, the festival is named the Puck Fair, with the King Puck (King
Goat) regally presiding over the festivities.</div>

The Ring of Kerry is a 179 kilometer-long circular drive in
County Kerry, located in the southwestern part of Ireland. It starts in
Killarney, and following the coast, winds its way through towns such as Sneem,
Waterville, and Cahersiveen. The views of the Atlantic smashing into the

As we drove through Killarney National Park, we stopped at the
Ladies' View, a scenic point where Queen Victoria's Ladies-in-Waiting were said
to have taken in the sights. According to our charming tour guide Steven, Queen
Victoria sent her ladies to visit the area (as she seemingly couldn't be
bothered!) The ladies were utterly charmed by the scenery, proclaiming it a
'view for a lady', and the name stuck.<o:p></o:p></div>

We also visited Torc Waterfall, a gorgeous, tumbling fury of
water on that rainy day, tucked away within the lush greenery of the
mountain-side. In that same area, we saw wild goats and deer, munching their
lunches as we passed. We saw many multi-colored sheep, shaggy cows, and lots of
new lambs and calves running around their mamas.<o:p></o:p></div>

I remain amazed that our full-sized tour bus could maneuver some

places! To alleviate traffic jams, the buses navigated along a

We made it! After a nice seven hour flight across the pond we arrived in Dublin at 7 AM ready to explore Ireland. The bus ride from the Dublin airport to the Heuston train station was a quick tour of the city. The architecture is amazing in Dublin with a mix of historic cobblestone and modern buildings. Before we left Dublin we were able to snap a few shots of the Guinness brewery, toothpick, and the train station.</div>

We set off on another journey from Heuston train station to
Cork exploring through the Irish countryside at 10 AM. Everything is green! We
arrived at Cork around 1230 PM after our nice train ride. Some of us rested up
for the night and a few of us explored Cork. <o:p></o:p></div>

10-hour layover in Newark is coming to an end, and we will soon board the plane
for Dublin! Although we were all
exhausted and sleep-deprived when we got off the plane, we took advantage of
our time in the airport and went over the itinerary for our trip, expectations
of the course, and had a great discussion about what it means to be a global
leader. </div>

<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">One of my major takeaways from our

Waking up at 4am was all but fun! However, the fun to come
will sure be well worth it! As I headed
out this morning, I made sure everything was packed—especially the essentials:
passport, i.d., and UofL student i.d.
Groggy eyed, I found myself at the airport. I was the first one there and a little
hesitant because I had only found out two short weeks ago that I was going on
this trip! I had no idea who was coming, but luckily I knew two people! As we waited to depart, we discussed where we
are from and who we are. It was apparent
that we are all very different. Some of
us are older, younger, military, non-military, married, married with children,
single, in a relationship, etc. It was
really neat to see a group of students connect so fast! It only makes me
excited for the days to come!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We boarded our first plan to Newark a little late. However, we still made it on time! The flight
was very smooth and we reached our destination safely. When we landed, we found seats in the food
court and all went to find breakfast.
The airport is pretty large and pretty expensive. We sat down and begin discussing the
syllabus. All of the events that are
planned look very exciting and historical.

We decided to have class time since we had such a long
layover. We discussed global leadership
in depth. We talked about how we see
ourselves by taking somewhat of a self-reflection survey of who we are. We looked at 17 different cultural dimensions
and rated how we felt towards the phrases.
It was really neat to see how we are alike and different. Professor Herd wanted us to dig deep into
these dimensions and compare dimensions along the board. I really enjoyed the discussion we had about
how we would have to approach leadership globally. <o:p></o:p></div>

The last day at home - tomorrow is
departure day, the day we embark on our journey to Ireland. It is so exciting
to travel in a group that is diverse in itself to learn about different
cultures and to experience beautiful and fascinating Ireland. What better
opportunity to learn about Leadership Development Across Cultures than a
situation where we all are immersed in the exact situation being discussed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
However, all of that will start
tomorrow; today the focus is on getting ready and making sure one is prepared.
According to the 10-day forecast on my cell phone we are going to be very lucky
with the weather. Only one day of rain in sight, the rest is just wind, sunshine
and some clouds. Temperatures are going to be between 51 and 63 F. Still, the
weather can change quickly and it is better to be prepared. The packing list
should definitely include rain protection and leave some flexibility in
clothing. Most importantly, the study materials need to be packed to where they
are accessible during our long layover in Newark. After a lot of evaluating and
deciding what should be packed, what needs to be in the carry-on bag, and what
can be packed in the suitcase the luggage is now finally ready for departure.
To avoid running late I decided to check in already so that I will have to only
drop off my suitcase tomorrow morning. A last check ensures that all the
important paperwork is readily available. The passport is packed, accessible,
valid, and my own. The boarding passes are right there with it, together with
all itineraries. Now I can relax, spend some last hours with my family and try
to get some sleep, it will be a short night. The alarm clock is set for 3 A.M.
and I can hardly wait…<o:p></o:p></div>
