As an international leadership speaker, I get to travel to many places both near and far, some familiar, some not so much. Being the kind of person that I am and the work that I do, I would consider myself a fairly international thinker. Recently I had the opportunity to speak at the 9th World Business Conference in Tehran, the capital of Iran. This is a country I’ve always wanted to visit, but I wasn’t prepared for what I would find. What comes to mind when you think about Iran? Terrorists? Oppression? Poverty? Burning hot desert?
