November 3, 2017 By Leave a Comment
A group of EPSE/LAMP alumni got to partake in a private distillery tour at the rather new and hugely popular Cutwater Spirits in the Miramar area in San Diego. The group was taken through the entire process from the fermentation in their custom 6,600 gallon wooden tanks all the way to the bottling line at the end. What a treat and not to mention tasty! The tour was setup as part of the alumni outreach program.
Thanks to Blake Miller and Ronald …

The resulting Individual Action Plan afforded a chance to improve in one such development area.
LAMP was also the first time I took the DiSC personal assessment …
