Outdated

I had a business strategy meeting today. This picture was on the wall of the co-working space. I’m guessing the building was once a factory that’s been converted. There were lots of old photos and historical references around.

This photo caught my eye for two reasons. Firstly as there isn’t a woman in sight. It was taken at a time when women weren’t allowed office jobs. And secondly because of the way the desks are laid out. Having spend over 30 years working in offices, I’m not sure I’d have enjoyed working in this way. I’m way too chatty for that.

There are times when I miss the collaboration that comes from being surrounded by people. Today it was really good to bounce ideas around.

Sent to Coventry

Another road trip today. Rather than being sent to Coventry, I jumped at the chance to meet up with Katie. We met through a course we were doing and have been talking for months now. It was fabulous to meet up in person.

We talked non-stop. About life, entrepreneurship and business. Katie is helping me get my business strategy clear. More on that soon. 👏🏻

It did get me thinking though, why do you get sent to Coventry?! Anyone know?! I love finding out the stories behinds common phrases. There must be a a good story there…
