The one certainty in life that will never change, is that there will always be change. Whether it is a job role, organisation, car, connections or where we are located, change is inevitable! I have definitely experienced times in both my personal and professional life where change has been wonderful, expected and fully embraced. The […]

I was having a conversation with a young person recently, who is about to graduate from being a teenager and enter the twenty-something era. It was spontaneous, yet so insightful. I left the conversation re-inspired about the younger generation due to the maturity, mindset and attitude of this young person. In fact, I was so […]

October has been brilliant, as you can see from the title, I created memories in Munich this month as I travelled there from the UK to Germany for a speaking engagement. It was my first time to visit Germany, as although I landed in Frankfurt in 2018 it was only for a connecting flight, which […]

This has come about through delivering corporate training sessions on the subject. It has caused me to reflect on my own professional practice, […]

I have a confession, I do love a good definition. I will be in mid-conversation with a friend and upon hearing a particular word, I have to look it up in the dictionary. Oftentimes this is not because I do not know what a word means, but because I enjoy getting crystal clarity on the […]
