Over the last few years you’ve probably heard of mindfulness and that you should be doing it. But why? What is it? What are the benefits? And how can you do it?

 

‘Leadership Provocateur’, thinker and disrupter, bestselling mindfulness author, Paul Mudd answered all those questions and more by looking at the universal and the particular, the personal and the professional, the theory and the practice. And inspired several attendees to start their own Mindful Journey.

10 x 30 Members’ Presentations Night

Yvonne McAulay

Short presentations have proven popular around the world.

 

So we thought it would be fun to try it with a twist – where no-one knew who the Members speaking would be and they’d each get to present just 10 slides for a maximum of 30 seconds each.

Members who wanted to present arrived with a 10-slide presentation on a USB stick. Who got to present was drawn at random on the night.

Their topic? ‘Something you NEED to know for your business’.

On the night fortune favoured Members Duncan McIntosh, Amy Anderson, Dr Shona Dobbie, Marie Paterson, Mark Robinson, Andy Simpson, Michael Stephenson, Stephen Westwood, Mike Reynolds and Andrew Stewart. Thanks to them for taking the challenge and sharing their expertise.

 

Duncan McIntosh of McIntosh Interiors was first to present.

 

Mike Reynolds of Integris Communications spoke about PR.

 

Mark Robinson of St Andrews Lean Consulting explained some of the ideas behind LEAN process improvement.

 

Dr Shona Dobbie of Angus Economics took on the 10×30 Challenge.

 

Club Treasurer, Michael Stephenson of EQ, took on the 10×30 Challenge.

 

Andy Simpson of Angus 3D Solutions explained additive manufacturing.
