An Inspiring Experience in Canterbury Cathedral

Posted on September 30, 2018 by Michael Czinkota

Greetings from Canterbury Cathedral in follow on to evensong on St. Michael Day. The ceremony was highly inspiring both because of a wonderful process as well as an inspired context. I hope that we will be able to conduct next year’s seminar on critical international business issues such as bribery, corruption, honor, and to do so in a Cathedral setting.
