A trip to the Call Centre Expo at the NEC this week held a couple of surprises.
The first was meeting Michelle Dewberry, last years winner of The Apprentice. She's smaller than she looks on telly - but isn't everyone?. I've not read her book yet but it has some very enthusiastic reviews. I might get round to reading it or more likely ask Rog or Nic to read it - I've got loads of reading piled up already!
Anyone out there already read it and want to comment?
This encounter reminded me of the time I interviewed Ruth Badger for a sales role. She was in the final stages of the application process for The Apprentice at the time so her application with us didn't progess any further. It's a small world.
But best of all from the Expo was hearing Sir Ranulph Fiennes talk of his lifetime of adventures and the lessons learned. Fascinating and very amusing. Rog and I got a signed book each which was an added bonus. We flicked straight to the gory pictures of frost bitten toes and fingers - ouch!
Oh to have one tenth of the discipline, perseverance and courage of Sir Ranulph!
That's it for now. Friday today so off to watch England beat Tonga.........please!!!

The NEC - you would think that satnav wouldn't have a problem with this destination - think again!! The Expo was a chance to get some bubble-bod shots for the website - NEC security looked a little confused when we gingerly stepped on to the grass and started giving it our best as if for GQ or Esquire!
The worlds greatest living explorer -Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes! Incredible speaker with even more incredible stories!!

1 day was sufficient at the Expo - the coffee in the networking bar made sure of that!
