Enigin - Quick Recipe For A Successful Copenhagen

I first heard about this through an advert on Spotify…

Between 7th-19th December 2009, about 20,000 people (United Nation’s bureaucrats, representatives from NGO’s, world leaders and accompanying experts) from 192 nations will descend on Copenhagen for what’s technically known as the “15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change” - or ‘Cop15’ for short.

Their collective aim is to cook up a substitute for the Kyoto Protocol legal agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent global warming which runs out in 2012.

The BBC has produced this easily digestible Q&A on the Copenhagen Summit - and also a handy guide on the positions of key countries involved.

Barack Obama has recently admitted the emerging consensus view, that unfortunately the talks will only conclude a politically binding and not a legally binding treaty.

Doesn’t this highlight the importance that is being placed on reducing carbon emmisions, and the growing concern over climate change and global warming.

Perhaps this recipe is not the most effective way of doing your part to reduce the worlds carbon emissions. It’s definately not the tidiest! But Enigin gives you the opportunity to play a part in solving this ever growing environmental crisis as an individual. With tailor made solutions that perfectly suit your organisation, you can be confident that your endeavors to reduce your carbon footprint will be made a success if you choose to work with Enigin PLC. 

Enigin - Generate the Energy that makes you feel better!

‘I can get a record player, and a generator. Generate the music that makes you feel better.’ -Generator Holloways

Are you musically inclined? Do you enjoy a good strum of the  guitar? A mighty rush on the piano? Or even a soft whistle on the flute?

Speaking as an avid pianist, I can say without a shadow of a   doubt that music is a fantastic way of expending mental, emotional and physical energy. They even say music is a vital  key in motivating one to lose weight and improve fitness. Granted they may be referring to the act of listening    and dancing to music. But surely playing music would add a measure of encouragement too…?

After going to a recent concert, I found myself pondering over what might be a revolutionary idea. The lead guitarist had so much passion in what he was playing, he was all over the stage. Jumping up and down, running from one end to the other. Although clearly satisfied with the performance, he was evidently exhausted by the end of it. The amount of energy he secreted after that one show must have amounted to something. After all, if approximately 28,500 footsteps can generate energy to power a train for one second [source: Christian Science Monitor], how easy could it be for one energetic musician to power the kettle for 30 seconds?

Ergo, my theory is this. If one could harness the energy accumulated after an energetic musical session, and somehow channel that energy into small kitchen appliances like a kettle or a toaster, that could save on energy consumption, reduce the carbon footprint and you’d be doing something you actually enjoy. Not to mention that with every brew your musical skills would improve. Killing two birds with one stone! (as Ben Freeman would say)

Maybe not exactly an Einstein equation, but you never know…maybe someone will read this and develop a series of revolutionary energy saving products based on musical abilities. Maybe I should suggest it to the board of directors at Enigin?

I’ll let you know how it goes….

Enigin - Soak up your time like a sheet of Bounty!

Quick as lightening!

Busy as a Bee!

Skinny as a rake!

Expressions and metaphors are common place in the English language. It’s not unlikely that you have used many already today in your conversations with people. They are a highly effective tool in getting your point across quickly and in a way your listeners can grasp.

A good place to refine your skill at using metaphors and expressions are in the work place. Sometimes just a simple string of pearly words of wisdom can motivate someone to take a desired course of action. We are avid users here at Enigin. Even when speaking to people in other countries, the point always seems to be topped off perfectly with a good metaphor!

Someone who has sophisticated their competence in this field is Ben Freeman. Sitting only 2 feet behind me, I have a continuous feed of metaphors and expressions. Some are old classics that never fail to make their point.

Others are of his own originality.  Whilst providing a humorous alternative to the usual classics, Ben’s creative mix of words and comparisons are truly powerful. They really find their own application in this day and age of business conversation.

Here is one he used this afternoon.

‘Soak up your time like a sheet of Bounty’

I’ll make sure I keep you updated with his latest creations. (We’ll have a library going before long!)

Make sure you get your hands on a copy of Enigin’s Book of Business Expressions! authored Ben Freeman.

Here is Ben deep in thought as he edits his new list of powerful expressions:

A Wednesday at Enigin

Its a late Wednesday afternoon in the Enigin office and there is a certain air of absence as you walk around the maze of empty chairs. A violent flu bug has crawled its way through the office. A few of us have managed to get away with a simple drippy nose and a crusty cough, while others have completely lost the will to live.

Poor little Hannah has had to hibernate under a tonne of blankets as she tries to recover her stolen voice. Sue has fallen victim to the bug too with her array of tissues. But she’s still got that infectious smile on her face so she’s not beaten yet! Hopefully we’ll see the back of this ugly bug by the end of the week.

The day has gone well for me so far. No complaints to speak of, and the time has drifted by at the perfect pace. Not too fast that I have no time to breath. And not too slowly that I could rip my eyeballs out and juggle to pass the time! (I have had days like that!)

No, today has been a good day at Enigin. A very pleasent atmosphere. Maybe that is just because the sun was out today for a change! Or maybe its because its the middle of the week! Or maybe its because our adorable postman Robin just arrived to collect our letters. We know its almost home-time when Robin arrives!

Bye for now!

Training Week

Wow! So here we are. Its a Wednesday afternoon at the Enigin office.

It’s Training this week so there is that buzz of anticipation and expectation and the newly appointed Distributors voice their opinions on the program. Its all been great feedback so far and I have no doubt that these business men and women will return home with their belly’s full after such a feast of excellent advice and information. I have had the opportunity to sit in on a few sessions this week and the tools available are truly invaluable; a credit to those who have played a part in developing them.
