I am still in the Bay of Islands and thinking about the week just past. Three speaking engagements, I got to speak to HR professionals, Bankers, and Entrepreneurs… it is such a privilege to meet all these new people. At the Morgo think tank, my presentation was to follow a Sean Gourley who spoke on the Mathematics of War. A Rhodes scholar he has dedicated the last seven years to determining the predictability of incursions… (well I think that is what he was talking about). So given I was up after such an academic…. I thought I would put some numbers in my presentation, which got me thinking about the rest of my content. I’m very pleased with the result of a very long night, I have a new keynote called ‘The Painted Picture – a Growth Story’. I’m looking forward to sharing it with others – including my team, which I will get to do this coming Tuesday.
Coming up week commencing 6 September 2010
Monday: One on One’s with direct reports
Tuesday: RedBallooner monthly company lunch, Meetings with entrepreneur Rob Farmer, and another with the CEO of Insync to get the top line outcome of the Dream Employer report.

Imagine running a business based on fun - that's what I decided to try when I left a very serious corporate career in marketing to set up RedBalloon...
