🎾 Did you know I once went to Wimbledon and ended up sitting next to Daley Thompson?
Back in another life, when I was a Media Consultant at Nestlé looking after their chocolate brands, I was invited to Wimbledon for a corporate hospitality day.
After a mad rush down from York, arriving late and slightly flustered, I finally found my seat, sat down and grabbed a drink.
And who should sit next to me but Daley Thompson.
As a child in the 80's and massive Olympics fan, I was completely starstruck.
As one of Britain's greatest athletes, his stories were incredible.
The training, the competitions, the people he'd met and the experiences he'd had were fascinating to listen to.
What really stayed with me, though, was that even years after retiring from elite sport, he was still training, still looking after himself and still setting himself goals.
The medals had stopped.
The mindset hadn't.
The people who achieve extraordinary things are often the ones who keep doing the ordinary things consistently.
Who was the most famous person you've ever unexpectedly found yourself sitting next to? 👇
PS. And in case you're wondering, the photo was created by my AI friends in the sky. We never actually posed for a selfie at Wimbledon... although I wish we had! 😆

I'm Sonia.
I spend my days fixing ads that looked like a good idea at the time.
I'm fully booked until mid-July, but if you'd like me to look at your campaigns before the Christmas madness starts, send me a DM.
