It is interesting how the passing of time perspective can change. It just shows I should have put a date and event on the card, as good networkers do. At least, it helped us get in touch, which goes to prove the card still CAN work after all this time. My apologies for getting the timing wrong.

I remember those business cards and whilst it may seem like 14 years ago I promise you it wasn't. I used those cards between November 2002 and December 2003 so it's actually only around 7 years since our paths must have crossed and you got one. Delighted that they're still talked about after all this time. Best wishes, Nigel Hi Rosie,

Nice article – thanks.

]]> Comment on Bubbles to Creativity by Alison Trinder http://www.training-for-results.co.uk/2009/10/bubbles-to-creativity/comment-page-1/#comment-67 Alison Trinder Fri, 09 Oct 2009 14:11:11 +0000 http://www.training-for-results.co.uk/?p=836#comment-67 I met Rosie 5 years ago when she ran a course for the organisation I was working for. My boss decided to send me on the course without actually knowing what it was all about. Those of us who are trainers dread this situation and know that it takes all our skills to win the participant round. I don’t now remember much detail about the course, but I do know that Rosie must have had what it takes because she enabled me to turn my thinking around completely during those few days, and as a result my professional life has taken huge strides forwards. I am now one of seven trainers who deliver the Springboard Personal and Professional Development Programme within Oxford University, and two of us decided that we would like to include a session on creativity on one of our workshops. Rosie came along to do this for us. In the normal course of a working day you wouldn’t think it possible, but among other things she engaged us in a bubble-blowing contest and a brainstorm on how many associations we could make with the word ‘dog’. Silly? Time-wasting? Not at all. These were just preliminaries to the introduction of a very practical technique for generating new ideas, and several of the participants went away that day with ideas for how to approach old problems. The message in the evaluations was a unanimous ‘ Wonderful! Really enjoyable and refreshing and I will definitely make use of these techniques in my daily work.’ Thank you, Rosie!
