The Saga of the White Van & The SuperHero

Driving home today from a business meeting in the delightful Crabwall Manor Hotel, I saw a van parked up with the name "Flat Pack Mark" on the side.  Looks like somebody (with the name of Mark presumably) is specialising in helping people put together and install flat packs.  Great niche!  And what a boon for all of us non-Pragmatists out there.

Being a Maximiser (cf. Tom Rath "Strengthsfinder 2.0"), I like to "polish pearls".  So by the time I'd reached the next set of traffic lights, I'd thought of "Flat Pack Man", thus raising our chappy to superhero status.

This got me thinking what I would put on "my van".  Mrs Motivation?  Magic Coach? Leadership Lisa? Yes, I know they sound a bit cheesy, but it's good to drop the image sometimes and have a bit of daft fun.  I got a bit stuck around Wonder Washing-up Woman or Network Queen.

What would you put on "your van"?  What would your Superhero or Superheroine name be in your new story for 2010?

Great post Lisa. Inspiring ..... and I hope you get many minds racing to think of their car sign - indeed, their life tag.

Creating such an 'identity' provides a focus ... and (further) broadcasting it in the manner you suggest makes sure you live up to it.

The other wonderful gem in your post is the whole idea of keeping your senses open to everything and asking "how can I use this to improve what I am and do?"

Keep 'em coming
