There's aren't many things more awkward than "networking". But I'm on a mission to try and create an even more awkward moment. Imagine hosting a networking event / pool tournament to create a nice relaxed environment at LDOT® studios, where creatives and marketing gurus from across Hampshire come and swap tips / stories and have a couple of games of pool / beers. 🎱 Then imagine beating everyone at your own event. Because you've practised every day leading up to it. Military style. It's a tough regime, but I have to win. Imagine then making a massive deal about it. And posting a photo of yourself on social media, holding your own trophy, being held horizontal by all the other players. 🏆📸 That's the goal. Because I'm going to beat everyone. Why don't you all come on down, it'll still be fun - it's the taking part that really matters. 😜🤘 #pooltournament #networking #event #creatives
Great story and I share your “embarrassment”. Back in the early ‘80s as a vendor we held a sales conference in Malta for our dealers. Two plane loads of people so a significant investment. I was tasked with a team building exercise and organised a volleyball competition for the dealers plus a vendor team. I must confess that not only did we pre-practice we then won the competition! Yes, I was also embarrassed to collect the trophy which still lives in my man cave today! Even now it is difficult for me not to be competitive. The lesson - if you don’t want to win don’t take part.
8-ball pool as an alternative for those outside of Hampshire? 😆
Loving your honesty and competitiveness Louis! 😁
