Enterprise Week 2008

Been busy this enterprise week.

Started of being a regional judge for the Make Your Mark Challenge. The Challenge set to schools across the UK was to conceive an enterprise based upon the Olympic values. There were some excellent entries, some businesses which I would have considered myself. We spent the day shortlisting the best entries from across the region for final judging in the North East final. It was great being offered this opportunity and it was an interesting test of my own business assessment skills.

My second activity for Enterprise weak was a motivation talk at Hartlepool Sixth Form collage. The talk was to the business studies students at the school and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I kept the session very casual and  was very open with the performance of the business. It was really appreciated and an initially quite crowd ended up quite lively and inquisitive.

I finished the week off by taking part in the celebration of enterprise, jointly organised by Make Your Mark, Young Enterprise and A4E. A fun activity day at the Riverside stadium in the spirit of the Crystal Maze -  a great way to end the action of enterprise week.
