Chasse Takes Expertise, Leadership Abroad
Austin, TX, Oct. 13, 2010 – Foregoing the latter half of Austin’s wet and muggy September, Beverly Chasse, president and CEO of Chasse Consulting Sales Strategies Inc., spent two weeks volunteering her expertise and skill in the picturesque Eastern European nation of Kazakhstan, instructing university students on American business skills, management and ethics.
“The students had such a strong thirst for knowledge, said Chasse. “Especially when it came to learning about ethical business standards in Kazakhstan and how it differed from the rest of the world.”
Working in conjunction with Co-Serve International, a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching and sharing about servant leadership at places of learning around the world, Chasse used her 25 years of experience in the business consulting field to teach a variety of business courses to students at Kazakh-American Free University (KAFU) in Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kazakhstan.
The course curriculum was developed by Chasse Consulting: Sales Strategies Inc. and covered such topics as the basics of managing a business, an overview of managing employees, principles of leadership and the importance of corporate social responsibility and business ethics in today’s economic climate. Chasse led graduate and undergraduate classes all while being immersed in Kazakhstan’s rich Russian and Islamic infused culture.
“The country still holds cultural ties with its old-world Soviet history,” recalled Chasse. “This made for one of the most unique experiences I have ever encountered in all my travels.”
Chasse’s trip comes a little over two months after her company hosted two student interns from Kazakhstan, who spent three weeks with Chasse Consulting, learning the basics of American business and experiencing Austin flair.
