CRAIG’S TOP TIPS

Pace yourself - make your own space and time

Beware the social events

A Team within a Team

You are the best prepared team

Respect cultural diversity

Patience - everything takes 10 x as long in India

Check, check and triple check

Always be polite and courteous – losing your temper does not work

Build relationships

Smile!

ENGLAND’S VICTORY ANTHEM

And did those feet in ancient timeWalk upon England's mountains green?

And was the holy Lamb of GodOn England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance DivineShine forth upon our clouded hills?And was Jerusalem builded here

Among those dark Satanic mills?Bring me my bow of burning gold:Bring me my arrows of desire:

Bring me my spear: O clouds, unfold!Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight,Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

Till we have built JerusalemIn England's green and pleasant land.

THANK YOU
