Building skills at the poker table for success at the boardroom table with @AcesHighLondon | Startups & entrepreneurship at @AngliaRuskin

[Giles Edwards @Giles_Edwards]

This week we bet all our podcast recording equipment on a hand of poker (even though we didn’t know what the thin lads with funny moustaches are worth) all just to impress our guest Jo Living, founder of the Aces High ‘poker for business’ workshops.

I pitched Aces High to @richardbranson and now Virgin are planning an event!

[AcesHighLondon @AcesHighLondon]

Crazy! @richardbranson noticed Aces High and loves the idea… now we’re hosting an event for @VirginStartUp. Thanks for all the support!

#elevatorofdreams in partnership with @simonsquibb is such a great opportunity!

Can hardly believe it, but CBS News filmed one Aces High’s poker team-building events! 🎥

They are broadcasting a segment to a US audience of 15 million in March 🤩

Aces High is smashing the stereotypes & bringing poker to the workplace for skills & team fun!👌

Buzzing to land @AcesHighLondon first big feature in the press with BBC London!

I talked about how skills at the poker table can build skills for the boardroom table…

@jodie_cook “Perfection is the enemy of completion” helps me put ideas out there to get feedback and improve - even if I don’t think it’s “ready”. It helps me move at pace and be vulnerable and listen to clients.

Poker as a team bonding and skills development workshop!

Using the poker table as a proxy for the boardroom table! Building #negotiation #communication and #riskmanagement skills with @AcesHighLondon and some kick ass women 🙌 Great for #teambuilding and #offsite events or team workshops 😎

How is it that school class photos haven’t evolved in 40 years? It’s the exact same background and frame as mine in the 80s! A photography / AI startup innovator needs to get involved… The process is slow, antiquated and expensive! #photograghy #startups #Innovation #oldschool

@ProfJoyceHarper I used my Tesco points to take my 6 year old to LegoLand…. The absolute antithesis of relaxation 😭 Following your lead next time!

Just hanging backstage with Bastille. At Dan’s birthday party (Bastille Day). Utterly lovely humans and great concert 😍

Today I swam 1km. Not that impressive by most standards, but pretty confident it’s the furthest I’ve ever swam non-stop (and outside) so I’m counting this as a win! 🏊‍♀️💪

When your favourite @femtechlab founder has the same idea as you! 🤩

.@HellyHansen taking unnecessary packaging to new levels…. 🤦‍♀️

Last year we were awarded and this year we’ve been invited to judge! Get your applications in….

@anamaria_iuga We need more female investors! They channel resources to important issues and causes they care about, moving investment decisions away from the 1% / boys clubs and opening up funding to underrepresented founders.

[Jo Living @JoLiving1]

I am honestly obsessed with @what3words. The combination of total innovation, usefulness and saving lives - alongside fun wordplay - has me evangelising. So many applications... I give it 5 years before all delivery companies / drones use it and postcodes are practically obsolete

[Jo Living @JoLiving1]

Woop 🙌 thanks for the recognition @EFS_society !

Well done team @AuraFertility and thanks to our clinic partners!

Congrats @ProfJoyceHarper for her lifetime achievement award also 💪
