about

I love the coast and in particular, the area in which I live, the North East of England. It’s an uncomplicated life, for the past twelve years I’ve been away from the ‘big smoke’ … and the decision to relocate my business to the North has been the best move of my career. So far. I am a writer and have a lifetime of experience in publishing and personal development. I now consider myself a specialist in helping my clients with memoirs – this could be a biography, or simply bringing diary pages to life. I tend not to advertise my business, word of mouth has always been kind so it’s no surprise that I do spend a couple of days per week in collaboration through networking. Peer collaboration can be very rewarding. Therefore, if you’d like to join me fortnightly for Wednesday ZOOM or either Tuesday or Thursday for (in-person) morning coffee, please get in touch. I’d love to meet you and perhaps help in any way possible. Thank you for stopping by the website. engage, develop, grow … with Go! charliekenny@live.co.uk

    Gadgets, lions and parachutes

    Then one day! By the magic of word-of-mouth recommendation, an enquiry arrives. Someone needs a lion tamer … together with a bespoke parachute …

    You, me, us.

    Some of my pals are terrified at the very thought of asking for help … (at first I was as well) … apprehensive when seeking that important special something that would further their business and therefore the well-being.

    It’s official, the end of Spring is imminent here in the UK. Where did that go? In turn, I’m now wondering how I haven’t managed to plant next season’s veg? The spuds, carrots, and greens I promised last year aren’t in the ground yet. I now beginning to feel a little left behind … although…

    Too busy for biz …

    It was set up to be a vibrant morning for breakfast networking. The sun was shining, our venue was organised and ready for a good number of guests, when to my great surprise, Mike had arrived to join the throng. We hadn’t seen Mike for a while, it must have been six weeks. ‘How are…

    Innovation, endurance

    Today I’ll thank networking, that opportunity that never goes away. Plus of course Norman for putting me back on the ‘straight and narrow!’

    Speaking the lingo

    thoughts on networking, collaboration, and the whole ‘people buy from people’ principle. It works by learning from those within our circle, those who may be ahead of our own business curve through experience,

    time out for a chat? It works.

    Look on the bright side

    It seems the faceless voices on the telephone couldn’t duplicate the in-person experience. The affinity or emotional connection one person has with another.

    Happiness 365!

    Like most everyone, I appreciate Christmas, it’s a break for me. The deeper meaning for some, and the time with family is welcome. Although for me, the knee-jerk giving, together with the binge consumerism brings disappointment.
