Enjoy the journey

Part of our responsibility as leaders is to take our personal development points from our appraisal seriously. This is because you only grow any organisation by growing the people and this work always starts with the directors.

And so it was that last year I attended a boot camp run by Frank Furness,
someone who has spoken in forty six countries of the world. At the end he said that those of you who make the commitment to becoming a top speaker would get to see some of the most marvellous sights in the world.

At six thirty yesterday morning as I was jogging across some meadow at Newmarket I saw dozens and dozens of horses being led through the town on their early exercise ritual. It was a cascade of colour and energy on a brilliant frosty morning.

Later on I got to share the platform with Chris Moon, the legendary survivor of a Khmer Rouge prisoner of war camp. We spoke at Tattersalls, surely one of the most beautiful and historic sites for events that we have.

Frank was right.
