Wins

It’s been a busy month!

We spent a lot of time over at the Immediate Media offices in the past few months teaching several 3 hour masterclasses covering:

  • Talking Tech to Non-Techies

  • Moving Feedback Forward

  • Influential Communication

  • Data - presenting, storytelling and pitches

These courses also marked the first time that Michelle Davies and Donna Ward-Higgs had taught in-person for us which meant Hari took the excuse to drag them out for a very tasty dinner in Hammersmith!

Aaron and Hari went along the the CLO100 Members meet-up to talk storytelling and transformation. We challenged the attendees to identify some stories that met 4 of the 7 basic plots, and heard some great tales in response!

Hari got to teach one of her favourite courses - Design Thinking Fundamentals to a great group down in Brighton. (This being a two day course meant she also got to sneak off and watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 at the cinema with a large bucket of popcorn and a G&T - bliss!)

Challenges

Not enough hours in the day! Double bank holidays and school haflf term made for a pretty hectic month. It feels like we don’t even have enough hours to finish writing this blog, so we’ll call it a day for now!
