Why Pace Doesn't Beat Consistency
The marquee event at the Olympics is the 100m sprint. But, traditionally it is the marathon which headlines the games as the last event.
Just like any concert or performance it is the last act that creates the climax and therefore is considered the main event. In F1, there is the Sprint Race but the Grand Prix is worth a lot more in terms of points and prestige. Staying with racing, the 24 hour Le Mans to this day is the crowning achievement for any manufacturer as the ultimate endurance test of man and machine. In cycling, the Tour De France is held over 23 days and is the one and only event any non-cycling enthusiasts care about and once again is the most prestigious event in the sport.
What do you admire?
Over the past few years I have led a few boards and exec teams through my Strategic Facilitation process to deliver a three or five year Strategic Plan for their respective organisations.
Leading from the Weeds
The ostentatious and deliciously funny Kieran Flannagan is one of Australia's most renowned and sort after Professional Speakers in Australia. So, it was more than exciting to be mentored by her in my own Professional Speaking journey late last year.
What to expect
Mud.
There is more mud around my home than I thought possible. It is everywhere. And, it is the sort of cloggy mud you can't scrape off your shoes (or you might lose your shoe in!)
You're too Smart for Them
I live in a bizarro world.
I deliver strategic workshops to Executives using frameworks and tools I taught first year students at University over ten years ago. I work through my own systems and frameworks with junior, middle, and senior managers of all descriptions. It is the same stuff, but the context, language, and lens delivered through is tweaked for these various audiences.
The Hateful Eight
Why would they listen to me?
Because I am their boss...? Because of the school I went to...? Because I am well groomed and have nice shoes...? Because I am charismatic?
