Pipe Cleaners!
17/03/2026
Day 1 of the CPD Certified Orientation and Holistic week got off to an ‘abstract start’!
How boring to just do verbal introductions – like everything else, Growing Talent does things differently!
Maddie, Kassim & Michael were tasked with designing a structure with four coloured pipe cleaners and 3 minutes on the clock. Next each stood and shared who they were, their new employer and why they designed their structure giving a little insight into who they really are!
Kassim kicked off with his colourful ladder which for him represented the opportunity ahead of him within SPS UK & Ireland. He’s on the first ladder – the only way is up!
Michael then shared his abstract ship which represents all the highs and lows he’s been on recent years. A ship keeps going and so does Michael. Michael is looking forward to his voyage ahead with CIS-Security
Lastly was Maddie whose colourful flower represents her love of flowers, nature and all things colourful. Maddie is joining SPS UK and Ireland too.
We had two visitors yesterday. Tom from SPS UK & Ireland dropped in to say ‘hello’ and Adam from Growing Talent’s sponsor took an impromptu Q&A session on how to impress line managers for promotion!
Day two dawns with more learning and confidence growing.
Out of interest, what would you make with four pipe cleaners and 3 minutes?
