1月25日，一个阳光明媚的冬日，集团总裁王舒先生与尼尔·布什先生在休斯顿一个安静优雅的乡村俱乐部相约会面。宁静的清晨夹杂着一丝玫瑰的芬芳，王舒总裁怀着愉悦的心情来到了会面地点与尼尔·布什赴约。尼尔·布什先生如约而至，双方见面后亲切握手以示问候。
January 25 was a perfect sunny winter day in Houston. Mr. Wang Shu, the President of The Cogdel Group, chose this very day to meet with Mr. Neil Bush in a quiet and elegant country club. The morning aroma of the country roses and the quiet setting led Mr. Wang Shu easily to his meeting site. In no time, Mr. Neil Bush came and both parties greeted each other with a firm handshake.
会谈从尼尔·布什的父亲——美国前总统乔治·布什去年3月写给王舒的亲笔信开始，自然地引出了领导力及其本质的话题。尼尔·布什介绍了乔治&芭芭拉布什学者和领导者中心（BCSL）的使命，以及前总统乔治·布什和他的妻子芭芭拉·布什建立BCSL的初衷，并指出该中心在休斯顿克里斯汀高中举办的国际学生领导力项目（ISLP）是美国第一个，也是唯一一个高中领导力项目。尼尔·布什高度赞赏了康德教育集团作为ISLP项目中国独家合作伙伴所做的一切，布什家族与BCSL中心长期以来致力于领导能力和学识在社会上的推崇与发展，他表示很高兴能与康德教育成为合作伙伴，共同为未来领袖的培养做出贡献。他同时对王舒及其团队在项目将ISLP项目首次落地中国所做的努力表示感谢，对康德取得的成就表示认可及祝贺，同时谈到了他对ISLP项目未来发展的期望。
Conversation started with the letter former president Gorge Bush wrote to Wang Shu with his original signature in March 2018. This led naturally to the topic on leadership and its essence. Neil introduced the mission of BCSL and how former President Gorge Bush and his wife Barbara Bush established BCSL and the ISLP program in Houston Christian High School as the first and only leadership program in high schools in the U.S. Neil appreciates what Cogdel has done as the exclusive partners of the ISLP program in China. Neil thanked Wang Shu for the efforts and achievements for its first year’s result of the ISLP program rollout and how much he looks forward to the future.
王舒表示十分感谢布什家族与BCSL中心的信任，表示康德也非常荣幸成为ISLP项目在中国的独家合作伙伴。王舒随即分享了他对ISLP领导力项目在中国发展的愿景与蓝图——不仅要在康德教育的校区开设，还要将领导力项目推向中国的学校，与BCSL中心携手完善领导力课程体系，搭建未来领袖的国际交流平台，推动国内青少年领导力教育发展，让中国学子不出国门即可体验世界顶级的中学生领导力教育，向世界展示中国青少年的领袖风采。王舒还高度评价了布什家族领导力精神，是后代人学习的榜样。
Wang Shu expressed his gratefulness that he feels honored for Cogdel’s privilege to be the exclusive partner for the ISLP program in China. He shared his vision and the blue print of the BCSL leadership program development in China in not only Cogdel schools but also non-Cogdel schools. Wang Shu also made high remarks on leadership spirit of the Bush family as a role model for generations to follow.
休斯顿克里斯汀高中的校长史蒂夫·利文斯顿博士同时参与了本次会面。愉快的谈话在尼尔·布什关于双方如何共同合作的新举措而结束。
Along with Neil and Wang Shu, Houston Christian High School’s school master Dr. Steve Livingston also attended the discussion. Meeting concluded with a high note by Neil’s vision on new initiatives of how both organizations can work together.
