Last night I had a dream! To some that may usher alarm-bells; to others perhaps some intrigue. Either way if you are brave enough to read on, then perhaps, disclaimers aside, this may bring a little light humour to your busy day.
I suddenly found myself in the playground, perspiring and confused. I reached to scratch my chin and indeed I did still have a beard. I looked down and to my surprise I was only wearing my underpants! Jeez, this was embarrassing, ‘still’, I thought to myself, ‘at least this is all on zoom’!
Then, rather abruptly, Miss Hart approached and took the papers from my satchel.
“What’s this Reader?!” she enquired.
“It’s my homework Miss,” I replied looking rather coy.
“But you haven’t done any. And what you have done is peppered with spelling and punctuation mistakes!”
She was right; I had no defence. If ever there was a ‘word smith’ it was her. She had me cornered and I needed a distraction.
“BREAK OUT TIME!” sh…

Steve, you are truly bonkers. I suspected it from the start. TPC, do NOT let him near any other cohorts 😉 Love it.

steven reader, and the award for most creative story telling goes to you! I absolutely LOVE this. I am glad my resonating piece with you, even in your dreams is – FIND YOUR WHY!! (Said in a strong Scottish accent.)

You do know steven reader that in the last two weeks I’ve only had 4 small bottles of the blooming stuff because of that session!!

Big thank you to everyone here who helped me to get it together to build a personal website (I had been meaning to do something for a while but never managed to prioritise it). And thank you for the feedback so far. Here’s V1.1, any feedback much appreciated. https://www.drummondgilbert.com. Some of it makes me cringe, but in the words or Reid Hoffman ”If you’re not embarrassed by your first version, you’ve launched too late!”

Hi Stephen, would really appreciate that, thanks. Do you have any time tomorrow? If so, selecting a time here will set up a Zoom https://calendly.com/drummondgilbert/30min

I spotted a small typo on your page – a missing ’r’ here: ”Does you brand stand for something?”

Hi Lexi… I won’t be able to join the You-Volution thing next week… but in answer to your question.
TPC, and Catapult in particular, has energised me to
– get off my butt,
– better understand what I can and want to do, how I want to do it and potentially with whom
– explore a bit of depth about the WHY?
– be open and kick things around with some good contacts… and this great cohort
– get practical and build something
– always remember to take a risk and give it a go… very easy to forget in corporate life, unless your RM is foolproof!
– not be worried about being embarrassed if it sounds unfeasible to others!
– get out there a start to talk to people about it
– … now work out how I can build in offshore sailing into this portfolio somehow!
Understanding we’re all mostly in similar boats – IE with a mindset to do different – is a very good feelin…

This is fab Malcolm – thanks for sharing. Regarding Catapult and our community getting less personal as it scales, I agree that is a risk. We will strive to do everything we can to avoid it, for example by creating bonds within cohorts that last beyond courses, and ensuring the platform ensures lots of small groups to collaborate and support each other.

Thank you so much, Malcolm! I’m going to send you the code incase you can watch the recordings at a later date.

Ohhh lucky timing! 😉 What has TPC done to help me evolve? Bluntly said, by means of the fairly fast pace and clearly defined steps it helped me to get going at something that was in my head for a while. And the inspiration that comes from every single person in the groups I’ve been in is priceless!

I wasn’t sure whether to put a laughing reaction to this or a love heart. I am crying. CRYING with laughter. I think the neighbours must be concerned by how loudly I am laughing. For anyone reading this who wasn’t on our second Catapult cohort, this probably must seem very strange but for us who were, this is perfect. It’s like a having your image drawn by a caricaturist but in words.
