Nelson Mandela and my day in Church

Today, I spent the day in church!

To be more precise, it was in fact a cathedral, Southwark Cathedral, and for those of you who have never been, please do visit it, because it is stunning.

Now, this was a work day, and whilst I occasionally would welcome some divine inspiration to assist with what needs to be done in relation to 9-5 activities, the fact was that we had chosen the conference centre attached (physically) to the cathedral, as an inspirational venue to hold a team "offsite".

As we spent the day looking to see how we could act with more "courageous integrity" in everything that we do, we were advised of the fact that Nelson Mandella, a true exponent of courageous integrity, had in fact opened the conference centre some 10 years earlier.

It was therefore even more saddening to read on my journey home that the "great man" himself was not in the best of health. Best wishes Sir for a speedy recovery!!!
