In this weeks episode of Flying Blind Ben recounts a powerful program of work across the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, getting back in the car to drive back over the SA border for Easter less than 12 hours after getting home, topped off by an absolute ripper of a trip to Tasmania! Ames gives us an insight into the juggle behind the scenes, the importance of the 6 P’s (Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance) and how she managed to deliver a fantastic workshop in and amongst the chaos.   They also introduce something new to these catch up episodes this week as they take a minute to look back at what worked, what didn’t and what they have learned… It’s ok to lower your bar rather than setting yourself up for failure and sometimes you just have to bite the bullet, even when it means scuba diving in the sharks backyard!     Feeling thirsty?
