This month we’ve been making time between workshops to do a lot of talking with a lot of Doers. Liv has had breakfast with Veteran Labour Politician Tony Benn, Lunch with Do Lectures Co-Founder Dave Hieatt, and dinner with Welsh Farmer and GM protestor Gerald Miles. Mark has been in San Francisco with method and in Vegas with Zappos founder Tony Hsieh, while Adam has been to China and back and has still managed to find time for an evening with Tom Ford.

We’ve had some good debate exploring the power of words vs. actions when it comes to communication, campaigning and inspiring behaviour change and thought we’d kick off this month with a few ‘Action’ highlights from the worlds of fashion, theatre, premier league football and food. Yes the potato story is a bit random, not so glamorous as the other pieces or as hot off the press, but it’s a true story, an action-packed adventure and perfect dinner time trivia.

Throughout the month wise words will start making a comeback as new content goes up …. so get stuck in, have your say, do your do.

   Great example of the power of actions amid this lava drama….
   Willie Walsh flew in one of BA’s three test flights to test (and then prove) that air travel is safe. British Airways could have just run a test flight and told us about it; instead they chose to fly their CEO through the chaos. It’s a pretty bold statement and a lot more reassuring than just hearing about some test flights with anonymous pilots. Let’s just hope these actions are powerful enough to lift the restrictions!
