Bringing my little helper to help get #nutritioneducation into #schools. Cora is so fun now that she is older. 7 mo old! Great to catch up with Dean! We look forward to having St Anne's Catholic School on board! Nutri-Islands is especially great for #wetweather

Such a great session by @Wade_GameLawyer! Good to be reminded of the compliance side of a company. There are always so many things to consider, and after the meeting, had a reminder of what to consider when distributing games to schools! #Dunedin #games

So awesome to have our sales pitch today to Bianca from Burnside Primary. Bianca and the teachers and students have given us great feedback on improving our nutrition game and resources! Thanks for being one of our first 100 schools! #first100 #nutritioneducation #seriousgames

Starting back to doing some hustle! Attending a talk on intangible assets. Takeaway - How to identify intangible assets?

Ask yourself:
- What makes you different?
- What really do you do that is different?
- What will you be really pissed if you lost?

Attended another really useful Masterclass session by AWS - B2B. It was really relevant as it focused on our target market which are schools. 1. Do a SOP for sales. 2. Have questions and answeres ready for FAQ. 3. Use LinkedIn to make connections. #Connections #AWS #b2b #schools

[CODE NZ @code_nz]

Is this the day to mention that CODE offers free mentorship through our programmes?

I mean, we pay our mentors directly, but then early career developers get to access them for free.

We think that's pretty nifty.
