Let the board meeting conclude and release the room — send the members out into a museum

Let the board meeting conclude and release the room — send the members out into a museum, where insight awakens and creativity begins. I take a board into a walking workshop to break routine, expand perspective, and unlock the kind of thinking that transforms organizations. Today, we explore how groundbreaking inventions reshape the business landscape, and what the next defining breakthrough might be.

Without Gutenberg, I am nothing — I would be a voice confined to silence. As a communicator, my entire craft is built on the foundation he created.

Johannes Gutenberg, the visionary behind the movable-type printing press, opened the world to shared knowledge and empowered the modern storyteller. His invention remains one of history’s greatest engines of human progress.

Spartan is a timeless geometric sans-serif known for its clean modern balance and bold clarity — and I’m in love with it.

I trained while listening to a speech by the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi

After office hours:
At one of my weekly training sessions, I like to combine physical exercise with inspiration from the world’s influential leaders. This week, I trained while listening to a speech by the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.

In this particular address, Prime Minister Modi demonstrates an exceptional ability to present, invite, and promote his country — showcasing India’s culture, economic potential, and openness to global partnerships.

It’s a well-crafted and strategically delivered presentation, offering valuable lessons in communication, leadership, and nation branding.

With the lively Covent Garden vibe in the background, we went for a hazy golden beer, a fruity IPA, one of those modern craft brews that perfectly matched the atmosphere of a London pub on a sunny day, like this.
