Breathing reality

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

"For those who deny reality, reality is ruthless."

If you insist on imposing your vision of the world on others instead of observing, accepting reality, and navigating it, you’ll end up screwed.

Nice sentences that you see in websites, social media and so on.

And you believe them, because if they are there… they may be true.

However, think twice of that nonsense.

Reality isn’t ruthless to those who deny it—reality is ruthless, period.

And the nuance is important.

Reality doesn’t expect anything from you; it’s just there to devour you.

It’s your ability to accept it that softens the blow.
If, where there was a hungry bear, you saw a cute puppy, well, the bear would eat you, and no one would miss you because everyone was already fed up with you always being a drama queen and causing problems.

Fresh air is necessary in companies so that reality hits accommodated managers and employees. This is one of the key benefits of consultants.

For people, like you and I, seminars, coaches and mentors bring that fresh air.

With nuance or without, fresh air in your thinking and mindset can only provide some good.

You missed it

Yesterday at 23:59, the price of the two Hand-Back Requirements courses almost doubled. As announced. As promised. As warned. So if you bought them yesterday, congratulations. You acted like an adult. Rare. If you didn’t… Maybe you were busy. Maybe you had to feed your fish. Maybe your dog needed emotional support. Maybe your procurement committee required three working groups, two memos and a risk register before approving a very simple decision. Maybe you opened the email, thought “I should...

Tonight at 23:59, this gets more expensive

Tonight at 23:59, the price of the two Hand-Back Requirements courses almost doubles. That is the email. Now, let’s remove the excuses. You don’t need more information. You don’t need to “think about it.” You don’t need to ask your boss, your partner, your mentor, your procurement guru, your spirit animal or the guy in the office who still thinks financial close is the peak of human civilisation. You know whether this is for you. If you work in PPPs, concessions, infrastructure, lenders’...

Five years later, same PPP mistakes

It doesn’t matter what project we’re talking about. PPP or else. If I took a picture of most people negotiating a Project Agreement today and compared it with one from five years ago, you wouldn’t notice the difference. Same priorities. Same obsession with financial close. Same attention to construction risk. Same drama around LDs, relief events, variations, refinancing, performance deductions and lenders’ approvals. And the same silence around Hand-Back Requirements. Nothing has changed....
