Coffee with a mentor

The first day of the new focus and a quick and easy Smile win, meeting up for coffee with the wonderful Lucy Gower, who is a huge part of the reason I’m now at the Trust and doing something I love.
It’s always good to catch up with Lucy not only because she’s full of wisdom, she also serves as a sounding board for me. It was great to sit and download to her today and to get her thoughts.
She also always manages to leave me feeling filled with confidence and positivity, which is never a bad thing.
A good session, a good smile and a whole pile of gratitude for the day.
How was your day?

Pick of the Web: ‘Cashing the Check’

Or cheque, for us Englanders.

This post from Seth Godin1 sums up very neatly some of the ideas and concepts about ourselves and our potential I’m working on at the moment.

A check in your wallet does you very little good. It represents opportunity, sure, but not action.  Most of us are carrying around a check, an opportunity to make an impact, to do the work we’re capapble of, to ship the art that would make a difference.
