Nathan Simmonds:

As always, let's get your phones out. Let's make sure you've got them on flight mode. Let's zero out the distraction and maximize the attention on you. Let's maximize the attention that you're gonna give to yourself and your development in this process. As we go through this today and as I share these ideas, that's one flight mode, two drinks, absolutely. Three. Let's make sure you are setting up your notepad in the best possible way. Clean sheet.

Nathan Simmonds:

Again, no distractions on that piece of paper. This is about your thinking and what you want to get from today. What you want to down the load from the thinking, what new ideas come up. So at the top of that fresh page, you're gonna write Keepers, keepers, can I put my children on flight mode? If there was a button for that and either you or I invented it for working from home, we will be very rich people, Caroline.

Nathan Simmonds:

So let's make sure you've got that clean page, fresh at the top. You're gonna write keepers and keepers are the things you want to keep hold of the place where you want to put the new ideas and thoughts that are coming up that you want to, um, remind yourself of and reinvigorate when you look back through your notes later on.

Last few people I think have arrived, just says, great crowd in today. Great to see you all.
