How many words do I need to fill a presentation? I’ve never really thought about it before now. Normally I would get up to do a presentation and just get on with it. I know I speak too quickly though. I have been told before. It’s a nervous thing. It’s as if I want to … Continue reading Unfolding plans 81 – filling a presentation
Unfolding plans 78 – less magpie and more moth
What are the most important things that I need to be working on? That’s what Mike asked me. It seems like an easy question but in truth can be really hard to answer. How much of what I do is driven by circumstances and how much is in line with my own ambitions and focus? … Continue reading Unfolding plans 78 – less magpie and more moth
Unfolding plans 74 – I’ve been too quick to judge
I’ve gone back to ‘The Wisdom of the Enneagram’ by Don Richard Ruso and Russ Hudson. Alright, it is a bit new-age for me. It feels all crystals and colours and there is the problem that I have with classification of humans into types. There are not nine types of people but I think I … Continue reading Unfolding plans 74 – I’ve been too quick to judge
Unfolding plans 71 – Thinking Digital makes your head hurt #TDC15
I’ve been at Thinking Digital today. It started yesterday afternoon with some workshops but the main event takes place today and tomorrow. If you have never been you should. Once you have been you’ll want to come back again and again. It is the must attend event of the year. So why is it such … Continue reading Unfolding plans 71 – Thinking Digital makes your head hurt #TDC15
Unfolding plans 60 – Siloism has been on my hit list for a long time
A flyer offering a master class in ‘Eliminating Silo Mentality’ had to be of interest. Siloism has been on my hit list for a long time. It’s a perennial problem and probably a fundamental part of human nature. People like to be part of a group and the easiest way of being part of something … Continue reading Unfolding plans 60 – Siloism has been on my hit list for a long time
Religion
Day eighteen of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’ and I’m straying into unknown territory. I would not regard myself as a religious person but I have already done that bit. I have very little knowledge of any of the religious texts yet it was a book by AJ Jacobs called ‘The year of living biblically’ … Continue reading Religion
Instinct
Day nine of the ‘Blogging from A-Z Challenge’. I’m now at number 990 and thinking about instinct. How much of what we do is instinctive? How much of what we think we think about before doing is a patterned behaviour which has been laid down across the millennia of human history? How many of the … Continue reading Instinct
Different life forms
If I was an alien life form who had somehow managed to make its way to Earth, perhaps from the far side of Alpha Centauri using a parallel form of physics that we are yet to understand and I was to land in the high street of an average British town, what would I think? … Continue reading Different life forms
Understanding your business
If you want to make real change to your business then you really need to understand how it works, how it really works and there is no better way to find out other than by going and finding out for yourself. In a small operation this could be by actually doing the different jobs, getting … Continue reading Understanding your business
