It's a full house here this evening with sparkling diplomats, JC alumni inclusive of the former PM of Jamaica, the Hon. Bruce Golding; and the incoming Opposition Minister of Jamaica Dr. Peter Phillips, UWI academia, business owners and more. All in support of Ambassador Dr. Richard Bernal, OJ, UWI's pro-vice chancellor of global affairs and wife Mrs. Margaret Record Bernal, sociologist, poet and cultural expert. The book launch is sponsored by LASCO. Company founder Mr. Las Chin is now doing opening remarks. #dragonintheCaribbean #caribbeanfortress #jamaica #caribbean #republicofchina #opportunities #challenges #cultures #globaltrade #investors #economists #instagood #readers

Had the pleasure of interviewing Ambassador Dr. Richard Bernal for #fortressbusiness in 2016. We read an advanced copy of #DragonintheCaribbean, which launches tomorrow at UWI Mona 6p.m. The book is highly recommended for all - especially serious investors, entrepreneurs, economists, business readers, in fact professionals in all industries - to gain insight into real opportunities and challenges and what it (The Republic of China's role) means for global and regional development and other trading partners. #readers #caribbean #book #instagood #globaltrade #development #growth #theeconomist #internationaltrade #collectorsitem #firstworld #thirdworld #billionaireboysclub #diplomacy #republicofchina #understanding #cultures

CANCELLATION NOTICE: We tried to make it work having explored all connecting flights. Throw in a storm in New York and a domino effect takes root. This coupled with @hannafitz being in Hawaii, for a speaking engagement until March 20th, and having to connect with our travel partner, interCaribbean, regrettably the #FortressBusiness "How to Build an Iconic Brand" seminar slated for March 25th is cancelled. _____________________________________ All event tickets and private coaching sessions will be fully refunded. Please contact your concierge at: [email protected]. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. _____________________________________ GOOD NEWS: 1. Hanna offers branding packages as a webinar, not the intensive experience as had been planned. Options range from free consultation calls to premium sessions. Explore what suits your needs at her website. 2. We're now daydreaming about private jet ownership or a fly-me lease. #caribbeantravel #branding #Professionals #jets #dreams

Had a delicious and ultra-healthy lunch from @wrightlifelivefoodeatery in #Mobay #jamaica. Thanks Ms. Wright, Chef Maurice and Kem, #caribbeanfortress will return. Friends, we highly recommend their: Hearty, vegetable bliss soup which has okras, carrots and yellow yam served with lite onion crisps. Then the customized salad was freshly pegged jackfruit, coconut jelly (some say meat) and canteloupe, otaheiti (malay) and pineapple cubes, all garnished with coconut flakes and slivers of purple cabbage. One word. Yummy! It could become their #1 salad. Ask and let's see if it will be added to their menu. Of course these fruits are seasonal so do keep that in mind when you visit. #rawfood #vegetarian #business #Caribbean #fortressbusiness #healthyliving #womenpreneur

EVENT UPDATE: We're postponing the branding workshop to Saturday, March 25th. #jamaica This since #fortressbusiness received an overwhelming number of requests for private, coaching sessions with Hanna. We've therefore shifted dates to meet demand. So in addition to the March 25th workshop, Hanna will be available to coach persons in Jamaica for a few days instead of a single day, as initially planned. A video message from Hanna will be available on Feb. 15th at 2p.m EST. More anon. #thingstodo #learn #grow #investinbranding #caribbeanfortress #instagood #professionals #exporters #solopreneurs #workshop #SavetheDate #dreambig #saintlucia

As promised, here is the big reveal... Design 'C' was chosen. Congrats to all who picked it! _____________________________________ Thanks so much to the Fortress community for the incredible feedback and support. _____________________________________ We look forward to your reading and sharing the full publication, which will be available next week. The delay has occurred because we're working across borders and the team is learning to bridge the English-Spanish language divide. A way cool experience, by the way. _____________________________________ Design work: MiGroupCo.com _____________________________________ Fun facts: 1. This #businessoffilm issue has been a Caribbean effort given a Montserratian editor (Nerissa), Bahamian-Colombian designers (Ricardo and Yuli) and a Jamaican founder (Gale). 2. This has been a team first of doing business via a English-Spanish translator.
