Please do absolutely vital. In this day and age right now in the current situation, that we can see people that we can connect even by doing this via video link, we still get the same or certain level of those chemical reactions we get from actually seeing people face to face.

Nathan Simmonds:

Just checking time 1 0 1. Good. A couple more people arriving. This is a fairly new experience, especially to me doing this. And gonna move my chat box up to the other side so I can see what chats are coming in. If you have any questions, there will be a q and A at the end, but please write them down, share them in the box, put 'em in the questions box so we can pick them up at the end.

Nathan Simmonds:

Good, it's 1 0 2. Let's start with this. So guys, welcome to the first of the Sticky Learning lunches. Fantastic to be here. Fantastic to share with you guys, especially in this day and age. Right now with our experiences, we are making business matter MBM and we are the Homer Sticky Learning and we're also the soft skills provider to the UK retail and grocery industry.

Nathan Simmonds:

So excited for this opportunity to share this stuff with you guys. And like I say, it's vitally important that we do this, that we get these moments to learn and we get these moments to expand our thinking while we've got time to, while we're at home, home, um, while we're working in these different dynamics and different environments. Super important. So before I get into introductions about me, I wanna make sure we're setting you guys up for success.

Nathan Simmonds:

So the first thing we're gonna do, get your phones. If you're not watching this on your phone and you're watching this on your laptop, get your phones out. Let's make sure we're getting absolute attention on what we are doing. First and foremost, get your phones, get 'em onto flight mode. I'm just gonna check my make sure mine is on. Yeah, flight mode. We wanna zero out those distractions and we're gonna talk about that again a little bit later on in this session.

Nathan Simmonds:

The next thing you wanna do is if you've got your email open, if you've got Facebook open LinkedIn, close them. The moment you get a ping, a beep, a buzz, your distraction, your attention is gonna go to there rather than actually learning anything here. So we're gonna do this for 30 to 40 minutes maximum. So I'm full attention to what we're doing here so that I can help give you some ideas that's gonna push your thinking, that's gonna help you get more focused on what you're doing.

Nathan Simmonds:

And expand your capabilities to work even better in a home working environment in these new environments that we find ourselves in.
