Ok, drum roll....
So after 2 years in Zambia (gone quick) I have been offered a role in Papua New Guinea on a FIFO roster of 8 days on 6 days off.....based in Brisbane.
So I will be moving my wife from here in Zambia on site and my kids from Boarding School in South Africa to Brissy.....and hell they are excited.
So we will move there on May 1st.......can't bloody wait, now I will get to ride my bike more up and down the Sunshine Coast
....but better than ever we will get to see the Tiges play more.....wahoooo......anyway I just thought I would share this good news with you.
By the way in my two years here I have mentored, coached and developed a Zambian team that is sustainable to carry on the processes and policies I have introduced. I have developed an individual to move into my role as Superintendent, another employee to move into a Coordinator role and another to move into the role of advisor.
I have implemented a succession plan that will see my team here grow from a team of expats to a team of 32 Zambian only personnel by 2015.....
I am extremely proud of what I have done....what many have not done in this country, develop the Nationals, without taking them for granted and lining my pockets.
I tell you all this not for glory, I tell you this for the knockers that criticised me earlier in this thread for coming here to take advantage of the situation here.....Well I can assure you all I have done what I came here to do and I will walk out of Africa, Zambia, with my head held high......
Hopefully I will see some of you soon!!!!
