A thought rocket and #DanelDoodle in the form of an Instagram story that simplifies just enough but doesn’t dumb down. Hope it works - any thoughts appreciated ☺️

A thought rocket and DanelDoodle in the form of an Instagram story that simplifies just enough but doesn’t dumb down. This was an interesting exercise. I often need it for work and it’s good to think of it in such simple terms. It’s often put to startups to explain their ideas so their Nan or Mum can understand. I’ll test it out with my Mum first then a customer to see how it works. In any…

Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there are several elementary truths. The need for inspiration 🌷 then to apply yourself to learn more 🧠 and finally the need to commit, act and live the experience you imagined 🚀

I use it to look back and forward and plan things based on what I learned. Sharing a few points here for posterity and…

Bureaucracy is pernicious and can creep in to make an already complex and chaotic world worse. The only way to avoid it is by taking conscious actions, here are 5 #DanelDoodle

It’s the bane of modern life and often the preserve of large, monolithic organisations. But no one is immune and especially in an already chaotic and complex world, we MUST make a conscious decision to cut it at every turn. Here are some…
