Head in a spin

Yes – I’ve reached that point in the day where I’m looking at my computer screen and nothing is happening – because – my brain is frazzled.

A 6-hour conversation with Phillippa Goodwin on the subject of our very own:

  • 90-day goals
  • Tasks to 31st December 2010
  • Strategic Plan for 2011-2012
  • Overall End Game for 2018 (my 65th)
  • Activity Plan beyond 2018

And individual conversations in each of the above categories around:

  • Financial targets
  • Branding
  • Marketing and Social Media
  • Service Offer
  • Customer Relationship Management
  • Team CB and Operational Systems
  • Leadership & Management
  • Personal and Professional Time Management

At the end of which, we both staggered out of The Shed in Falmouth with

  • even longer “to do” lists
  • a mind-map
  • steam coming out of our ears
  • a commitment to have turned all of this into a workable plan by 1st September 2010

This evening – energised, excited and exhausted.
