It’s been a busy summer filled with some super cool projects, and as we’re sipping on a cheeky caipirinha on the white isle this weekend, it’s got me thinking about why we do what we do. First off, as a husband and wife team we’re both truly invested in our mission to change minds and shape perceptions through video storytelling. We don’t just see this as a job—it’s our passion, our purpose. Second, we’re here to serve you our clients—and we’re always on. Even on holiday, we don’t fully switch off. When a business trusts us with their project, we’re committed to ensuring a seamless experience—quick responses, flexibility, and a final product that delivers. We never let our ego get in the way. It’s not about what will look great on our showreel; it’s about what your business needs. We’ve got skin in this game, and we’re personally invested in every client—big or small, cool or not-so-gcool. Each project pushes us to be better because we’re only as good as our last piece of work. For us, this isn’t work-life balance—it’s work-life integration. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. #AlwaysOn #ClientFocused #WorkLifeIntegration #VideoProduction #Storytelling

📚Transform your workplace into a hub of learning and inspiration with my simple guide to starting a team book club! Here's how: 🗓 Quarterly Gatherings: Meet once every quarter for manageable pacing and deep engagement with the book. 🔄 Varied Picks: Rotate the book selection among team members each quarter for a wealth of topics and insights. 🌈 📖 Choose Your Format: Embrace all reading formats—audiobook, paperback, or digital—and allow team members to expense their choice. Flexibility enhances participation. 💸 ⏰ Smart Scheduling: Host discussions in the first week of the new quarter to avoid end-of-quarter sales rush. 👩💼 Focused Conversations: Prepare a slide with three questions to foster concise, impactful discussions: 1️⃣ What are three things you learned, and why? 2️⃣ How have you applied, or how will you apply, these insights to your work or life? 3️⃣ What surprised you the most? 🎉 Team Bonding and Growth: My team has been thriving with this approach, diving into books and coming back with actionable insights and a stronger bond. Why not give it a whirl in your team? It’s more than just reading; it’s about growing together and discovering new ways to enhance our work and personal lives. 📘Happy reading! 🚀

One image, two perspectives............ One simple lightbulb, but to Alison Thomson and me it expresses so much about a body and brain friendly workplace! When Alison sees people sitting at strange angles at their computer she always checks the glare on their screens – we move to avoid it, but we don’t always think about the most whole-body friendly way to do it! I've learnt from her that as part of evolutionary psychology we also instinctively prefer the natural variation of light that occurs through the day, so spending some time working in natural light can be a great way to refresh. From my perspective, there can also be some wonderful lightbulb moments when team members discover their personality types and appreciative those of their colleagues during our fun and interactive workshops. Whether it's looking at your colleague from the opposite side of a room when talking about how people approach deadlines, to flexing how you communicate with another person to meet their needs better, these lightbulb moments can lead to improved team dynamics, efficiency and productivity.  Do contact me if you’d like to know more!

The most beautiful place I’ve ever done a session. Environment matters for growth. Just like a petri dish, the right conditions will impact how things grow.🌳 Intentionally creating optimal conditions, will help your team grow. The team I worked with this week set a big quarterly number, 📈 that if achieved would result in a special reward location for the next planning session. Lo and behold, with the goal crystal clear, the team rallied and achieved the number. 🙌 The reward was a session at this absolutely stunning location.🏞 It completely changed how the session progressed. Everyone commented how they ‘felt’ different… better. An unexpected benefit was the bonus team-building event they achieved because they had the gift of driving down together. Connection 🚗 (windshield) time has its benefits. The result? ✅ Their best session to date. ✅ Space to breathe. ✅ Space to connect. ✅ Space to celebrate. Be intentional about it all, it makes a difference.

In business and professional settings, the word “fools” can be used positively in certain contexts to convey camaraderie, playfulness, or even admiration among colleagues. Here are some examples: 1. Team Building Events: “Welcome, you brilliant fools, to our team-building retreat! Let’s collaborate, innovate, and have some fun while we’re at it.” 2. Creative Brainstorming Sessions: “Alright, you creative fools, let’s put our heads together and come up with some groundbreaking ideas!” 3. Celebratory Occasions: “Congratulations, you amazing fools, on exceeding our targets this quarter! Your hard work and dedication have paid off.” 4. Informal Meetings or Gatherings: “Thanks for joining us for drinks, you wonderful fools! Here’s to another successful year of working together.” In these examples, “fools” is used affectionately and in a light-hearted manner to foster a sense of camaraderie and positivity among colleagues. However, it’s essential to gauge the appropriateness of using such language based on the company culture and the dynamics of the relationships within the team.

How often do we hold company meetings? Weekly? Monthly? Annually? Who attends? Every week, we hold a ‘Slouch’ meeting, a tradition that started with the three of us lounging on office sofas for lunch. Now, it's a Monday ritual where we share wins, challenges, and discuss projects over a great meal. Every two months, I have a 1:1 lunch with each team member. We chat about their feelings, achievements, challenges, and ambitions, creating a space for honest feedback and growth. Every three months, we have a Learn Day. Team members spend a day exploring new skills related to their roles, ending with a 5-minute presentation on what they learned. Every six months, we hold a Growth Week. For three days, we focus on internal improvements—building videos, systems, and processes. It’s a game-changer for our efficiency and morale. Every year, we have a weekend away in the Highlands. It’s all about building relationships, enjoying good food and wine, and relaxing together. Most of what we do revolves around food—it's the best way to spark great conversations and strengthen our team.
