Sometimes you just have to start - so I have.
My book on my thoughts on leadership has begun. Working with the most splendid "ghost" I am finally capturing my thinking on what leadership actually is, what the outcome of leadership should be and a group of "skills" that leaders need to be able to use. Actually, it is more about "relationships" rather than just leadership - it is a bigger book. But I fundamentally believe, that leadership is no more than relationship in the context of trying to achieve something jointly. The book is full of anecdotes from my skippering around the world and rushing off to the magnetic North Pole and from sport and business - and the sequel will be after the South Pole expedition - to see if any of it worked!! Hurrah
We have an array of sponsors and supporters lined up and onboard. Our timing partner, TW Steel, will enable much with a generous offering and some serious marketing to come. But it does feel a bit like being a "plate spinner" or "flaming torch juggler"! There are so many conversations and meetings with a fantastic range of organisations, but they are all "up in the air". I need one of them to land - so close, yet...
Stand by for a big media launch event coming early next month - I'll tell you more about when we confirm the date. For me, that launch will be the "first step" to reality, to actually getting on the ice, though, of course, I have travelled many marathons already to get to where we are today!! - life is made up of "critical steps", all seeming to be the first of a big journey, but really they are just one more step on life's rich journey!
Bring it on!
Hurrah
