When my boyfriend asked me out for the first time, I replied, “Dinner? Why not find a minister and get married instead?” But he explained that I should get to know him first, learn more about him and grow to trust him. He used that approach successfully in sales, he said, so we should give it a try. No, I did not try to drag my boyfriend to a chapel on our first date, but there’s sound advice in that silly story.

I send on average 50 emails daily. If it takes av average of 30 seconds for me to review and take action on emails I receive (obviously some take much more time and others take much less) then I spend two and one half hours daily reading and responding to emails.

As consumers, there are some products, brands, or stores we frequent out of habit. And in stable, calm and good times that’s enough.

The first presentation, from Seb Elsworth at ACEVO (where I used to work), the charity CEO membership body, who focused on using research to inform the strategic planning process.

Too many of our language conventions stop progress, stop thinking, and stop dialogue. They simply trigger pre-scripted mindsets, personally and professionally. When I hear someone say ABC, I automatically react with XYZ. We can't lead, work, or have strong interpersonal relationships on cruise control.
