Hello again, it’s me. Just one more thing about my Primrose League badge from an earlier post.
At a place in London, there is a remarkable collection of old Primrose League badges. I can stand there for minutes, just looking at them, studying the details and imagining the people who once wore them.
And when I have my lady with me, she eventually smiles and asks, “Darling, what is it about these little badges that keeps you so fascinated?”
A perfectly reasonable question, I must admit.
I suspect she would rather head down Piccadilly for some shopping at Fortnum & Mason. Founded in 1707 by William Fortnum and Hugh Mason, during the reign of Queen Anne. Another piece of British history, by the way.
But there I am, still studying the badges, minute after minute, thinking about Queen Victoria, Benjamin Disraeli and Victorian London.
And my lady? Perhaps one day I’ll tell her how the Primrose League helped open doors for women in British political life, long before they gained the parliamentary vote.
Then again, she might simply smile and suggest that we continue our historical investigations at Fortnum & Mason. 😉
“Even the greatest stars change themselves in the looking glass.”
Reflecting on our internal workshop session in Nice, which focused on transforming and expanding my business into new areas, I realize we, too, find ourselves in the looking glass.
Since entering the AI sector, I’ve witnessed rapid developments. What began as a second-opinion tool has now evolved into a key companion in my business, powering several internal services. ChatGPT stands out as the most intelligent text engine, Claude excels in handling documents and data, and Grok leads in creative AI. Additionally, Firefly is essential for production. Copilot, though not yet fast or intuitive enough for extensive use, benefits from its integration with Microsoft Office. Several other services are still under evaluation.
This session explored how these services can be elevated to the next level—transitioning from virtual coworkers to market-ready, packaged business services.
Fight! The setting sun catches me during an outdoor kettlebell session. I’m in a row of training days, aiming to get my match weight as I return to the gym after several months of non-stop business management assignments.
Now that almost every assignment is delivered and completed, I am free to be back and fight with the weights.
And yes, you can now engage me to support your company or organization, within a value-creation business management role, through confidence-building investor relations, as a fully experienced member of the board of directors, or in other cooperative roles.
