Morning team!
A very Happy Monday to you all and I hope you had a lovely relaxing weekend.
What I LEARNED
It seems obvious but last week reminded me of how much I love, and have missed, being with people in person.
I was lucky to go into the office twice last week, and on both occasions being able to sit down and talk though ideas, plans, reports in the same room as someone makes such a big difference. It wasn’t just in the work context I smiled at the power of human connections.
Yesterday my neighbor completed the virtual London marathon, and another neighbor ran with him to give him moral support. I’ve never completed a marathon, but can only imagine the mental and physical strength you need to get through it, and for someone else to give up their time to support and run alongside a neighbor in need reminded me once more about the power of connections and relationships.
I know I talk a lot of teamwork and togetherness, but I don’t think you can underestimate its importance, and as we ease out for lockdown restrictions, I cannot wait for the day we are all in the same room (pub) at the same time to be together. Let’s hope it’s this Christmas!…….watch this space.
What I LIKED
My wife told me that she had heard about a top Premier League footballer, who has a cracked iPhone, and when asked why he doesn’t change the screen, he replied ‘why would I need to do that when it works perfectly well, and I could be putting money towards great things such as child poverty. The player is Sadio Mane and you can read more about his mindset towards wealth here:
Music to kick start your week
The sun is shining where I am right now with blue skies, so went for a bit of an 80’s cheese classic for today’s music to kick start your week. Ni real reason only it it puts a smile on my face, and anything that makes you smile is never a bad thing 😉 – CLICK HERE for a bit of 80’s cheese
Final thought:
Feedback is a gift, and I’m always trying to improve or understand what’s working and what’s not. Please leave any constructive feedback that you feel can help me improve or continue with what’s working.
Thank you for reading and I hope that you have a successful and fulfilling day.
