Reflections on my way home....

I am on my way home after 6 days working with the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
So what do I take with me home?

I've fallen in love with Russians!
They are curious, analytical, critical, shy....and when "the ice is broken", they are open, fun and sharing.

Sochi 2014 has professional people on board!
As the organizing committee in Lillehammer, the Sochi organizing committee has few people with international event experience. That does not make them less competent to host the Games. Why? Because they have the best recruitment process leading to a workforce chosen among the best - with the right attitude.

It is the people that makes the Games!
