Pulp on…?

Henry PULP !! …prepare to be pulverised.

Henry Pulp arrived at Chester University to deliver a professional practice session to what quickly became a increasingly gobsmacked and bewildered lecture theatre  of students. Clutching a white styrofoam cup,  of what we later learned was Coffee, the stronger the better. His delivery a “fast-paced, chaotic, party-oriented telling of his experience as a Graphic Designer, event planner, musician, interior designer andso so mmuch more

His career has followed a chaotic and not very clearly defined path with his primary aim to enjoy every minute of his working life – this was repeatedly reitterated along with his passion for all things sex drugs and rock and roll.  He is a larger than life personality, single minded in his pursuit of the next job and overflowing with ideas. His CV jumps and changes from one project to the next at a remarkabke pace, he speach littered with anecdotes, clever turns of phrase and a steady stream of swear words.

What do you take way from being spoken at for an hour by Henry Pulp?

Scattered in amongst the river of thoughts that flooded out of his mouth there were a few pieces of information that are worth taking into consideration.

  • You cannot do everything.
  • Work to your strengths
  • Develop a network of trusted suppliers and talented people around you.
  • Keep at it and get actively involved in whats going on around you.
  • Learning never stops, develop your skills and learn new ones as you go.

Henry Pulp is a force of nature, not to everyones taste – like marmite – you either love him or hate him there is not middle ground, but he certainly knows how to get things done.
