Blair, our CEO has reflected on his 10 years at Geolytix, and has jotted down 10 things that he has learned in the past decade.

- To travel fast go alone, to travel far go together
- Everyone is on a journey; maybe struggling, maybe rocking it, probably both
- Every client organisation has its own peculiarities, it is what makes working for them interesting
- You can win or lose business for reasons within domains you did not even know existed
- For everything you do, remember there are people who can do it better than you
- Small personal kindnesses are remembered for months and years, sometimes decades
- Over delivering (sometimes!) is good, it can make you feel great about yourself too
- Doing something is far more impressive than talking about something
- Asking difficult questions is easy
- Saying no is fine, but make sure you explain why and offer a path to yes
These are my top-of-mind thoughts (platitudes!) jotted down in 4 minutes when reflecting on my journey, other colleagues I'm sure will have very different thoughts.
