The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size - Oliver Wendell Holmes
In the interests of expanding our minds, it's training week at Legal-Island this week. 5 days of training and development, packed with interesting topics ranging from Neuro-Linguistic Programming to Creative Problem Solving and Memory Techniques.
Everyone is looking forward to learning something new and interesting so it should be a very constructive week.
Saturday saw the final of our Beat The Director competition, with one finalist taking on our MD, Barry Phillips for the chance to win £1,000 cash. Charles Garavan was the plucky contender and with two attempts each, it was going to be an interesting challenge.
Both competitors went for it in their first attempt, with Barry's initial score of 4 minutes and 10 seconds a very good score given the obvious pressures. Charles came out fighting and just beat Barry's time with an impressive first score of 3 minutes and 8 seconds. Neither player could improve their score on the second attempt, so Charles walked away with the £1,000 prize money.
Fionnuala McKervey from NI Alzheimer's Society, was on hand as our independent adjudicator and we hope to do a lot more work with the Society in the future to raise greater awareness of
this fantastic charity.

Finally, Barry did an interview for the Belfast Telegraph on Friday, which we hope will be published in Tuesday's paper, so we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for that.
Here's to a valuable and challenging training week.
