Preparation WITH Action
If you can’t see the above video, click here, or watch it directly on YouTube. I had a phone call a while ago with someone who basically wasn’t doing any action because they were in preparation. Whilst I say myself that if you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail, I believe there is a [...]
Another look at Scattering Seeds
If you can’t see the above video, click here, or watch it directly on YouTube. This is a quick clip of me on Tuesday 15th June in Helsinki, chatting about how Like Minds Conversation Helsinki came together.

Building The Kingdom: Generalists and Specialists
We’ve been discussing the mini-series of “Building the Kingdom”, which has been a very insightful time for us to hear from one another on what it takes to build something that is strong, influential and significant.

People, Not Parts
The Dream Team – hanging out with some of the people at the Like Minds Summit 2010 at Bovey Castle. Around the end of the last year I wrote a series of posts on ‘free from the factory‘, in which we talked about the shift from an industrial economy to a knowledge economy, and the [...]
