Social glue, served with elegance. For hire.

I liked this quote:

“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.” – Camille Pissarro

It’s used by Lloyd Davis as an introduction to his pitch for work as a social artist.

If the title social artist puts you off a bit then you might want to reflect again on the Pisarro quote. Lloyd is available to work one day a week with an organisation over the next six months, where he’ll make all sorts of connections in his brilliantly under-stated manner.

Personally, I think this is a superb opportunity for any organisation that thinks it could stand some improvement in how its people relate to each other and connect. So instead of squandering a fortune on some fancy IT or grandiose consultancy, consider this more creative alternative.

If I were an organisation, I’d jump at the opportunity. Just saying.
