Four heads are better than One

Armed with a notebook and pen I took myself off, on my tod, to the refectory to come up with some creative ideas of stuff (what? that's a technical term!) to do in the scheme that would raise awareness of key issues, encourage discussions and link into university initiatives......... Who am I kidding??? My office was being used for an external meeting and I hate working from someone else's desk so off I went!


The Challenge

To come up with something fun to do to raise profile and funds as part of breast cancer awareness and Movember.


The Result

Wow! Within half an hour I'd been joined by three mentors and the ideas were in full flow. From naked calendars to cookbooks to rubber duck races and super heroes! Bam, bam, bam, and another one, and another one! In truth we have enough stuff (seriously, it's a technical word!) to keep us busy for months and what's more, we're all really excited to get started :)

So what's my point? Well if I have to have one, and sometimes random waffle is perfectly acceptable I think, my point is that getting out of the office, sitting with people and actually talking face to face can generate some amazing results. My other point is that I have been reminded, once again, of what a creative, open minded and down right bonkers bunch of people I am lucky enough to work with and that makes me smile.

See, proof that its a 'technical term!'
