8 Goodgymmers pushed the envelope as they implemented a paradigm (and compost) shift at the Harmony Gardens for an evening of blue sky thinking and wheelbarrowing.

Deliverable Goals and Low Hanging Fruit

Mike from the Friends of Harmony Gardens reached out to Mr Corporate Goodgym Gramps with an eleverator pitch for a game changer of a session, helping to transport a mountain of compost to the kid's garden at the site to rehabilitate an elliptical path for children to access the gardens.

Mr Corporate Goodgym Gramps evaluated whether we had enough bandwidth for such a task, and once he ensured enough buy-in from our talent pool, he committed our tribe to the job.

Working in perfect synergy of invested stakeholders and proactive actors, the evening got off to a flying start. We drilled down on a complex pile of compost and proceeded with a multi-layered transference strategy. Getting all our ducks in a row, we put our heads down and really took a deep dive into the task at hand.

We even had to time to unpack some personal conundrums, including the merits of bird watching, the scrumping of under-ripe apples, and some family dynamics catch 22s. But we had to put a pin on that as before we knew it, Nurjehan was telling us it was squeaky bum time so it was all hands on deck.

We circled back on discussions for future activities with Mike, and agreed to a few more visits going forward. We then came to a hard stop, but not before we scheduled some time for a photography sesh.

A wonderful evening where our core competencies were the stars.

I feel a little queasy after all that jargon so I'll stop here because I feel like I need a sick bucket now.
