Taking the Temperature | Contributions from Survive & Thrive 2010

With great thanks to the people who came to Survive & Thrive 2010, we took the temperature of some of those at the venue with some key questions and this is what people said.

My most under-utilised strength is…

My philosophical design thinking

In the next year, the thing that would help me to be even more successful is…

Having legal and financial structures in place to expand and grow

One of the greatest things that I have learned [in my career or business] is…

Its all about the people

The thing that I’m looking for that would help my career, organisation or business is…

Time to create with minimum distractions

A mentor

A financial advisor

Cheaper marketing ideas

Someone to do my tax

A business partner

Apprentices

The thing that most excites me about the work that I do is ,,,

Advocating for the arts

Making people feel better about themselves

I get to do what I want to do

I get to broaden the way we see things or look at reality

I can make a difference in people’s lives

Waiting for the stars to rise

I do work I love

Taking control of my future

As a patent attorney and artist I deal with creative and innovative people every day

The hardest thing I have had to do in my organisation this year is…

Deal with change

The financial projections

Keep the peace

Keep producing and marketing in quiet times

The best career or business tip I’ve received in recent times is…

Develop your skills

In New Zealand a coffee can go a loooong way

Take risks

Believe in yourself

Promote, promote, promote

You never know who ‘auntie’ is

Stay true
