Enterprise Bootcamp, Soho, London.

I went to an enterprise and entrepreneurship bootcamp over Thursday and Friday this week and found it a really interesting and rewarding experience. Had a series of speakers and workshops over the two days including Adrian Shaughnessy. I learnt alot of important factual information regarding IP etc, and also the themes that ran through the days were about personal communication and being adaptable in a world where business models will need to change dramatically.

The sessions culminated in a series of workshop sessions with Susie Galbraith of bluedoor about creating and communicating a brand or message.

They also ran a personal 15 word pitch competition where we were given three minutes to develop a 15 word personal pitch......and I won it, a lovely bottle of wine which I actually gave away anyways.

However I found it really useful learning these tools and techniques to really filter what you are trying to say down to a few words. Although this was aimed at starting your own business all of the techniques could be applied more widely into personal projects and your personal professional identity.
