We are just about to head out on quite a run of workshops and events until the end of the month – lots of preparation is behind us with lots of delivery to come.

However, as part of our prep-routine, we think it is healthy to be somewhat self-effacing to get a balanced self-esteem.

A colleague has been running a meeting today on the threat of hubris in organisational leaders. In case that power drug gets the best of any of us, we suggest keeping in touch with the irony of David Brent and the caution against being too controlling and certain in running an event.

And Jo Brand’s colleague demonstrates a certain lack of charm and self-awareness when teaching others to ‘ice your cake’

Cringe!
