In the moment
There is a lot of emphasis on business to be planning, or doing strategy days, working ‘on the business rather than in it’. But wow! let’s celebrate the great days we all have being in the business.
Sharon and I have a partnership together with associates, and we have had the privilege of being with eleven businesses these last two weeks, in addition to working with two of our Hereford director forums in that time as well.
On Wednesday morning we were writing up a Bull’s Eye day report for an engineering business – I translate my writing off the flipchart, Sharon formats. Before lunch we were putting together a business plan from data supplied by the three partners of a vetinary practice. Quick lunch and then a ten mile drive through the beautiful Herefordshire countryside, in two cars, to work with the ten person management team of a superb local food company with five outlets.
Sharon did the first hour on management development topics and I then chaired their management meeting. Sharon meanwhile motored back home to prepare supper for Dave, Managing Director of a cider making company. The superb pork in cider meal was made from ingredients supplied by both clients.
I got back at six, had a one to one with Dave for a couple of hours, then the three of us ate before walking down to the finest pub in the county, which happens to be another client.
At ten o’clock you can look back on a wonderful day like that and think “Yes! This is what I am supposed to be doing on this planet!"
