Feeling stuck? Go for a walk.

There is no mental block strong enough to outlast the power of a 30-minute walk.

It's a fact that some of your most creative moments come during periods of boredom.

• On a walk
• In the shower
• Driving in silence
• At dinner by yourself

You’re bored, your mind wanders, and your thoughts mingle.

Bam! Creative insight strikes.

Schedule more boredom into your weeks.

Simple challenge for all of you:

Go for a 30-minute tech-free walk every single day next week.

• No phone
• No music
• No podcasts
• No articles
• No audiobooks

Just you, your thoughts, your gratitude, and the fresh air.

It’s a simple reset that will unlock new creativity and shift your perspective.

It is an electric environment with the Top 25 startups pitching in full swing at the @eight2fivehub after two days of intense business development training during the #VCC3 Bootcamp. Following today's pitches, the jury panel will select ten #startups to go to the next level.

[David Gate @davidshingie]

It was inspiring listening to some really impressive young people pitch their innovative solutions to challenges across the country. I wish all the successful startups all the best for the next stage.

[eight2fivehub @eight2fivehub]

Today marks the end of a 3-day Bootcamp with top 25 #startups of the #VCC3

Today they are pitching in front of a jury for a spot in the top 10 and the chance to advance to the next phase. Stay tuned for information on what happens next

@AntheaPaelo Congrats @AntheaPaelo. That’s well-deserved!

Great to welcome President @edmnangagwa to the 🇬🇧stand at ZITF yesterday. We’re delighted to come 2nd in the international stand category. Great time talking to lots of people about the breadth of the UK-Zim partnership including on trade, investment, development & scholarships

ZITF started on an excellent note for us yesterday!

We have a beautiful stand, and hope to see you if you’re in Bulawayo this week to talk all things trade and investment.

Glad to welcome Hon. Judith Ncube to the UK stand at ZITF and tell her about our investment in many areas here: hospitals, renewables, electric tricycles & more. We’re working with 🇿🇼 to open up new 🇬🇧markets for local products including the best blueberries & chillis in the 🌍

[Melanie Robinson @HMAMelanieR]

Great visit to a hospital the UK's NMS is building in Bulawayo, before going to ZITF. Work on the Cowdray Park facility started in 2022, one of 35 hospitals & clinics being expertly built here by NMS. Proud of this shared investment in providing better healthcare to Zimbabweans.

[David Gate @davidshingie]

I really enjoyed chatting with @Mona_LisaDube last night on @ZiFMStereo. We spoke about our upcoming attendance at @ZITF1 and how our UK stand will be bigger and better than last year. If you’re at ZITF, please come through to our stand and let’s chat about trade & investment.

Loved spending #IWD with inspiring women in Vic Falls: from #Chevening scholars promoting rights in the NPA and innovation in tourism to Vic Falls’ first female councillors and a young British entrepreneur setting up a feedstock business. All power to these wonderful women!
