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 – that could entail 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 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

  • A lighthouse for dark times

    I would sooner be a swimming rat than a sinking ship — at all events I can look around me for a little longer — and I remember how one of us, a rat with particularly bright eyes called Shelley, squeaked out, “Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world,”

    We’ve been celebrating our 12.5 yr anniversary of the Weeklybiz Network this week. Something real, tangible and collaborative In a world that has gradually become fake-friendly, I’ve learned to appreciate the value of what genuine people bring to my world. For those used to regularly connecting through structured networking, the anniversary we acknowledge just now…

  • A little light relief.

    A little light relief.

    The topic of conversation was anger. How does anger it affect you?  Is there an emotional outburst or is it more an affront to your mental or emotional well-being? The question came up at my regular yoga class with Harsha Moore. We weren’t expecting the question and there was some coaxing before the answers came.…

  • The moon and you.The magic of the unnecessary.

    BY MARIA POPOVA Every night, for every human being that ever was and ever will be, the Moon rises to remind us how improbably lucky we are, each of its craters a monument of the odds we prevailed against to exist, a reliquary of the violent collisions that forged our rocky planet lush with life…

    I was speaking with Toni a few days ago, she’d called me to enquire about the format to the Tuesdaybiz networking. “Most welcome Toni. It’s an early start, 7.15 until 9am.

    Help me, help you!

    Without question, the biggest obstacle to new business progress is overcoming the lack of confidence. Who can blame us? I hear you say.  After all, these past few years have been tough for many, especially those working for themselves … by themselves. Navigating an uncertain, fast-changing business landscape calls for a special kind of fortitude. Would you be surprised when I…
