Professionals can be fun…

I received this from Darren the builder this evening.   It’s great to see progress, understand the space and to see how tidy they are keeping the site.

I didn’t expect the video and definitely didn’t expect the music.

It makes me think about the definition of a professional, is it simply someone who knows their stuff, or is it someone who you can relate to, someone who gives you energy and inspires you to take the next step.

Recieving this video (from a builder, a traditionally functional role) also highlights that you can make anything fun and with the right attitude can put a smile on people’s faces.

As professionals I think we all need to follow Darren’s example more, to make an effort to present things in a way that people can smile.  Afterall, if he can make me smile with a video of a building site then surely I can do the same for my clients.
