Passionless. And Bettakultcha.

Last month I underwent “Presentation training”. Was mostly a good experience, though of course no amount of training would be complete without me arguing with “The Trainer”. Can’t remember exactly what it was over; but he was wrong. But then again, you already knew that.

Last week I went to my third Bettakultcha - for those that don’t know, this is an event that takes place in and around Yorkshire where complete strangers get up and present 20 slides on subjects…

Reading again. Plus friends.

The first thing to be said is that I only generally start reading once I’ve seen a really good movie, or trailer for something upcoming that makes me want to pick up the book and compare it… That then usually leads me to pick up other books until the phase fizzles out.

About Matt Pallatt

This is the blog of Matt Pallatt, a disgruntled grumpy “young” man with an opinion on everything - who really doesn’t understand people who don’t, believing them to be just lazy.

I’m 33 years old and live in Leeds, UK - I have no pets, no wife and no children. And no hair. I wear Levi Jeans and Converse “Sneakers” - these are staple “wearables”, people who don’t understand this are inferior. Fact.

I’m also the technical director of one of the UK’s largest and best digital marketing agencies, twentysix - where I spend my time bossing people around, second guessing make or break decisions made my people way above my paygrade, and spreading rumours. When not in the office I enjoy spending my free time listening to really loud music, sitting in darkened cinemas, reading a book or two, or simply flaking out and watching TV.

This blog is all about both the hours spent procrastinating in the real world, and also those being managerial and mature in the work world.
