Good morning Brian.
Thanks for the good discussion yesterday afternoon. I look forward to working with you and Nathan.
As stated in my email on April 2nd, I have an on-line course that is ready to be shared. However, I have another seven to eight courses that will be ready later this month as well.
For those countries (not just Africa) who are interested in what American firms have to offer in the EDUCATION SECTOR, I am open to explore, discuss, and share.
Thanks very much.

Good morning Mr. Castleberry,
By way of introduction, my Maryland-based firm (Howard County) provides leadership development training, executive coaching, and diversity-equity-inclusion consultation and training to government agencies (city, county, state, and federal), corporations (small to mid-sized), churches, non-profits, and academic institutions (schools and universities). I have a team of ten certified trainers and coaches.I am a member of Black and Global Business Network led by Melissa Muhammad.
As it pertains to Africa, I have been to Kenya five times since 2011 and have delivered virtual training in Rwanda. Three weeks ago, I attended a business matchmaking conference in Austin, TX, and met with key decision makers from Cameroon and Liberia that want me to follow through with more discussions.
For your review and consideration, I have attached my bio and capability statement.
I would be grateful for a meeting with you, based on your availability, sometime this month. Then, we can explore deeper and have a conversation specifically about the Education Sector needs on the continent of Africa. My firm offers:
1. An on-line faith-based course. See here:
https://tomeapp.com/courses/servant-at-heart
2. Virtual leadership development training and executive coaching using Zoom, MS Teams, Adobe Connect, and/or Cisco WebEx
3. In-person leadership development training and executive coaching
Again, thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
--
