      • I think for me it’s that it’s very difficult to separate yourself and your identity from how well your business is doing – a bit like children! They say you are only as happy as your unhappiest child, I think its the same with business

        • Yes true – becomes very personal with the ups and downs. I think in my case would be good to get across how much goes on behind the scenes.

          • Yes we had another great session this morning @garethturner and great to see a few SiGNAL members in the room.

            we talked about how to :

            ▶️ Use strategy to define the identity with intent and purpose

            ▶️ How to build consistency – because confused minds don’t buy

            ▶️ The power of colour and typography and choosing the right combination based on how…

            • @rebecca365 can we catch up re Oakmoor students ? The next session is June 11th at 4 pm if you would be available to teach a basic income and expenditure spreadsheet ?

              • Hi @rebecca365 (and maybe anyone)…bit off topic but reminded me. I was wondering about who to approach for what appears to be mis-selling of software. We subscribe to an annual bit of software which streamlines contract admin and ‘caters for all contracts’, only now they have dawdled with updates and don’t cover 2024 versions – though it…

              • Hi everyone.

                As some of you may know, I have been running a kind of drop-in design clinic at The Shed near where I live, but then I thought it would be good to open it up to this community online.

                    Hi @matthewlaakvand – this is a great offer, but for those that don’t know what you do – it might be worth explaining a little about what you can help with in the drop-in clinic.
