An Invitation that I Could Not Resist

Just the other day, the secretary handed to me a letter from St. Joseph's Academy. I was surprised to learn that it was actually an invitation for me and my staff to facilitate leadership training for their faculty members. The letter was from the principal no less. But I wondered how come they were asking outsiders to hold such training when they have human resource staff who are very qualified to do the job. A few days later, I got a call from a certain Miss Ivy, making a follow up regarding the invitation. During our brief conversation, Miss Ivy was able to mention that the school was still in the process of restructuring some of the departments, including the Human Resource Department. Although she did not go into details, I sort of understood that something was wrong and I assumed that there was an internal problem going on. Anyway, that's not my business, right? I thought about it for a while and then I committed to it as soon as I realized that it was an opportunity for me to hone my skills further.
