Where the **** have I been?

Kategoriseret under Rotterdam by bloksblog

I woke up this foggy morning and I thought that I really needed to write on my blog! Cause I have no idea where the last month went…

So the following is a self-therapeutical time management empowering tool. Also know as: FUN!

I have discovered that during the last month app. 30 people went from Blok’s Blog to the Kaospilot website www.kaospilots.nl. That means that I have a lot of readers and I been letting you down!

But no more!
It is crazy how time sometimes just becomes increasingly smaller and zooooooOOOOOOMMmmm it has been a month.

My weekdays I spend at the Kaospilots. We are being trained in something called the Startup Wheel that will help us in becoming better entrepreneurs and later help others in being entrepreneurs. It is actually quite simple and at the same time very effect full.
If you are an entrepreneur or does some freelance work I suggest you take a look at this. It has recently been chosen to be the new way of educating business in 5 major schools in Denmark including Copenhagen Business School.

Last Monday was very exiting cause we delivered our 2 months work on the marketing for a leading lawyer company called Kennedy van de Laan.
Even though I have no prejudice against lawyers since two of my best friends, Willy and Kania, are both in pursuit for justice, there where a couple of Kaospilots that did find it a little challenging. (Lawyers are the devil! Arrgghhh….!)
I loved it! It was Monday morning and the lawyers were all asking “is this gonna take long?”. When we where finished 5 hours later with the workshop they where completely fired up. We still have some more stuff we are delivering and they properly would like us back for more.

Kaospilots from Team 2 working hard.

Approximately a week ago I sent a mail to the Copenhagen Municipal with a proposal. It contained a long suggestion on how to include “The future sustainable city of the world – Nordhavnen” into the Copenhagen Climate Summit in November.
Our idea is to make a People Climate Change Summit during the political debates at Bella Center, and move the interest to Nordhavnen instead so that ordinary people like you and me can express how we all can do small things to save the environment instead of the big leaders have to make all the decisions.
We are suggesting building a fully self-surviving house (Earthships), building sustainable playgrounds (Architects 2012), homes and offices out of containers, green technology and soooo much more. A huge project! Let’s see what happens.
Visit www.nordhavnen.dk (Also in English) if this future city sounds interesting. My Copenhagen apartment is only five minutes away from this area!

At the moment I am working on two very exiting things also.
Finding team 3 for Kaospilots
And my baby: Authentic Marketing

Finding Team 3 is a big project and we are working on finding new students for next year. We are starting a press stunt to attract the world. I will expose more later but if you can’t wait, then visit:

Authentic Marketing is starting to take of. Basically it is looking at marketing in a new perspective and focussing on the inside of a company and bring out the strengths and personality that it contains. I have been thinking about this concept for many years but now it is finally taking shape. I don’t have a website for that yet, but hoping to get that running soon.

On a more personal note I have been jamming on my new guitar. I rarely have the time, but I love it, and I don’t understand why I didn’t have this passion earlier. I’ll play you a song whenever we meet!
And something has just gone “CLICK” in my head, cause I’ve become physical. My roommate Loek set his weight lifts up in a small room in our apartment, and every mon, tue, thur and Friday morning, Nathaniel runs across the roof of the Marconiplein building and comes in through my skylight in my room, down the latter to work out! Who needs to pay 50 euros for a workout membership…

Me working out and Nathaniel on roof!

I have also started to play football since no one here plays flag football, which I miss. I’m enjoying it a lot cause I’m meeting new people and getting exercise. I like playing defence and last time our offence sucked. So in the final minutes I thought, “Fuck it” and ran all the way up in a contra. One of my teammates passed the ball in front of the goal and nonchalant as I am I kicked the ball in the net with my heel. We won 6-5!

Oh yeah! I was at Carneval!
