Now that my son Fox has finished his two years in Billy Elliot, you probably thought that I wouldn’t be mentioning him again.
Surprise!
As he settles back into regular schooling, he’s getting up-to-speed with some of the subjects that have fallen by the wayside.
Last week he took a maths exam.
When I spoke to him afterwards, he told me he didn’t think he’d done very well.
But he wasn’t depressed or upset.
In fact, he was pretty sanguine about the whole thing.
He knows where his talents lie.
And he doesn’t burden himself with the expectation that he’ll be great at everything.
We all have our strengths and weaknesses.
The key is to focus on perfecting the former, rather than obsessing over the latter.

What's on my mind
About Me
- Kevin Jackson
- The glasses are important, since I’m almost totally blind in one eye. This means I have zero depth perception. Instead of making snap judgements, I have to think around a subject and look again to try and gain a sense of perspective. And that’s what I’m doing here - taking a different view of the trends and patterns around us to see if they’re as close as they seem, or further away than we thought. There’s not a discipline within the communications mix that I haven’t spent time in – what connects them though, is my passion for igniting advocacy and word-of-mouth. I’ve also worked on multi-platform campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, we are all on first-name terms. Ultimately, whether it’s a consumer, business or internal audience, no one is exempt from my belief in engaging experiential communications. Over the last four years ago, I’ve been busy developing relationships across the telecoms, technology, FMCG, retail and energy sectors, to name a few.
