The silly season, as far as networking and generating business is concerned, is nearly over, kids back to school next week and I can get on with what I love doing (don’t tell the wife & kids).
However even when you are on holiday you think about things in your business and occasionally have some lightbulb moments. I didn’t have any!!!
What did happen though was both amusing and a lesson in how children think differently to adults.
We went to Centerparcs, which for those of you that don’t know is a holiday village within a forest with lots of activities for all the family, with all the villas and chalets located neatly in various parts of the forest.

This being the case, we enjoyed the delights of having some visitors from the wildlife come by, two of which were rabbits (or hares, cant tell the difference) and squirrels.
I have 3 children and Sapna(14), Milan (12) and Suraj(7), upon seeing one of the squirrels I gave him some food (don’t tell Centerparcs), which the squirrel proceeded to eat. I said to my 7 year old “Look at the little squirrel”. He (my son) was less than amused, I said to come closer and see the squirrel, he didn’t want to.
So here I went into mode and said, “Has a squirrel ever bitten you”, “No”, came back the answer, “Do you know anyone that has been bitten by a squirrel?”, again he said “No”. So I said “see, it won’t bite you!”
Smarting over the power of my high level questioning technique and the breakthrough I created, my son looked at me paused and said…
“If it can bite nuts, it can bite us!
….em he has a point…
