Today it's Halloween, and you might have to choose between trick OR treat :-)
Or maybe you could have BOTH ;-)
That's what the genius of the AND is about...
I love to hear about people and businesses that succeed using Lean and Six Sigma. They practice the tools because of the value.
Last weekend I had the pleasure of visiting a former colleague, Iver Frøsli, who combines a full-time job with farming.
I am impressed by the flow at Espa Bolleland, a Norwegian gas station 90 km north of Oslo.
We often stop here, and we are not the only ones...
What's so amazing with Espa bolleland, is that besides all their visitors, you experience a good flow.
I will share a story that Vibeke Holtskog shared with me. Simply because it hit me. You might like it too:
A man was driving on the countryside and suddenly did not know where he was. The peaks on both sides of the road looked the same, and the road he would turn to the right never revealed.
This autumn I participated with my partner Trond, at an adventure race: Challenge 40.
The concept is to earn the most points during the 4 hours race, by finding spots marked on the map.
I have spent my holiday in Norway enjoying our beautiful country and made a summer greeting for you (texted in English). It is about "Working smarter not harder".
To work smarter, it's important to take breaks. Pauses give time for reflection and to see with new eyes.
Vibeke Holtskog and her stories inspires me. Here is one of them:
Once upon a time, a woodcutter applied for a job at a timber company.
Because he was both strong and eager, he got the job right away.
Achieve continuous improvement by grasping opportunities!
Have you missed opportunities because you were not aware of them? Or due to fear?
It takes courage to overcome the fear of doing something new or introduce a change.
I signed up for Axtri, Aurland Extreme triathlon (8.15.2015).
Normally I find such challenges exciting, and that is why I signed up for this almost a year ago. However, this time I experience a lack of motivation.
