Week 27: Catalysed.

Another missed week where not a whole lot happened – but I’m keeping on and trying to build the habit.

  • I spent most of this week back in Lausanne on the follow up week to my first trip there back in October finishing up what is called the Catalyst leadership course. Along with 60 colleagues I spent the week diving deep in to leadership and strategy with professors from IMD Business School, running business simulations and getting coached by trained actors in the art of presentation. Tiring but absolutely worth it.
  • Back in Manchester things are moving at a slightly slower pace – we are still waiting for council approval to start renovations and most other jobs are either too big to take on right now or need the rain to finally stop.
  • I’ve finalised plans for the upgrade of the basement workshop so next step is finding a damp proofing specialist to prep a couple of troublesome walls before they get clad and I somehow attempt to replace the basement ceiling piece by piece. In the meantime I’m building out various workbenches for existing and future tools. What could possibly go wrong?
