t has been an eventful April. Spend some days delivering coaching at a CEO retreat in Belgium, combined that with Kingsday, family, friends, wine and some recreational soft drugs. When in Rome…..
#Bookin8days
Also signed up 3 new #bookin8days clients this month. The topics are strategy, psychedelic problem solving and leadership. I would suspect that genuine thought leadership will become a lot more important in a world where AI is going to disrupt/enhance a lot of business models. I have two place left for September, if you are interested.
Healthy place to work
One of my #bookin8days clients, launched their book “Work Healthy”. You can buy it here. The book is part of a marketing programme to introduce the healthy place to work franchise to the world and describes a holistic and strategic methodology to get the best out of your people. With all the proof points why organisational health will become increasingly important (resilience, risk, regulation, creativity, innovation, CX, etc.). Inspired by “Dying for a paycheque“.
El Presidente
The highlight of this month was my election as the new president of Calahonda Park (the community where I live in Spain). Most of my friends suggested that the property prices in Calahonda Park have tanked as a result, so this might be an investment opportunity. The title of my new book is “Diary of a president”. Has a great ring to it, me thinks.
Books are better than drugs
”The hidden messages of water“. Not many books truly blow my mind, but this one did. Added another book that did the same at the same time. Frequency, vibration, language and quantum foam. I tried both this month and my firm conclusion is that books are better than drugs. Love to hear which book blew your mind.
