Last week, I was in the office for the first time since January 2020.
I remember, February 2020 I was in Rotterdam. And then was meant to fly out to Madrid. However, Covid-19 had Madrid locked and I rang British Airways. Suggested they push my travel to July, by then it should have all blown over.
Here we are. September 2021. Didn’t make that Madrid trip. However, did complete the project on time and in full.
Whilst we all got used to zoom/MS Teams calls. There’s something about being in person. Having the face to face conversation is something special.
So it was nice to be back in the office last week. Meeting people, talking and getting things answered quicker than on Teams and awaiting a reply.
I also recall when I used to do a number of talks.
Above, the photo – my Thursday Throwback, is of me at the Coca-Cola Headquarters in London. I was asked to talk to a number of visitors. They were from South America if I remember correctly. They were here to learn how we were doing things in the UK. How we were making the best of technology.
A nice informal setting. A lot of questions and answers.
I haven’t done any talks since the pandemic. In fact – haven’t done any talks for a while!
Therefore – it’s great, when a friend of mine has asked me to do a TedX type of talk in Wolverhampton! This will be happening in November this year – as long as this type of normality remains.
Might do a few more regular talks. Invite some friends. Have a few good conversations. Where people can take a few golden nuggets. It’s those golden nuggets that will help, grow and nurture you, your business and/or your organisation.
I’ll share more details to when this will be happening. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to me, if you’d like me to talk at your event – and I’ll share my fee’s.
