I haven't shared anything on Linkedin for a little while but with good reason — if I have to choose between actually doing the job and talking about it, I choose doing.

It’s great to be known as a writer, get invited to speak at events and share ideas, but there’s a real danger that comes along with these things:

The more time you spend talking the less time you spend doing.
The less time you spend doing, the less in touch you are with reality.
The less in touch you are with reality, the less relevant you become.

The people I’ve always admired most are do-ers. Practical people. Engineers, designers, inventors, craftsmen, cooks, mechanics...anyone who rolls up their sleeves and makes things, or makes things happen. I’ve always aspired to be one of those people. Lately though, I’ve found myself preaching more and practising less, which doesn’t sit well with me. 

Fortunately we’ve won some great new clients recently, who are relying on us to deliver some amazing and challenging projects. The perfect opportunity to get back in the trenches with the rest of our amazing team. 

I'm excited to re-connect with my real passions — solving complicated problems, and designing stuff that improves people’s quality of life.
