Last Friday whilst holidaying in SINGAPORE I dropped by the SPOTLIGHT SINGAPORE store in Plaza Singapora......and was welcomed by the lovely Store Manager (Michell) and Craft Manager (Sharon)
Michell asked me if I could possibly do a staff inservice whilst I was there to show and explain how to use the FISKARS CRAFT TOOLS......so of course I agreed to do it.....after all...who could refuse after such a wonderful YUM CHA lunch....it was yummo!!!! Thank you Michell and Sharon....I really enjoyed our short time together.......and loved all the fabulous YUM CHA food......in fact I really love your Culture....I learnt so much in the short time that we were there......THANK YOU!!!
So Sharon and I walked around the store and took down some FISKARS TOOLS to play with.....and off we went..................she rounded up about 8 staff members which was fantastic.
They all came and played....trying the tools....asking questions and having fun!!!!
I really loved the hard table we used.....so easy to punch onto with the punches.....
I loved the enthusiasm shown by Sharon and her staff.......they all joined in with all the fun!!!
In fact once I showed Sharon how to Master the Fiskars Everywhere Punch....she then in turn showed her amazing staff.......so good.....that's the best way to learn how to use a new TOOL.....play...play ...play and teaching others confirms your own ability to use a tool!
Some of the staff hadn't used the tools before Friday....so they did very well!
I taught them to stand up to punch so that they could use their body and not hurt they arms and hands.....they caught on very quickly...
Even though I wasn't there for that long.....I felt a real connection to this SPOTLIGHT TEAM!
Thank you again to Michell (store manager) for welcoming me and taking me out for lunch!
Maybe we'll cross paths again another day....I hope so!

How fun for you and the Spotlight employees in Singapore! I think you all came out winners (happy ones indeed) by the day's end.
