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

    It’s not about the fry-up!

    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. It’s a structured meeting, allowing each attendee a few minutes to introduce themselves and the organisation. No member fees, the only cost is the…

    Isn’t that amazing?

    I must admit to being a little absent-minded recently. One project was taking up most of my thoughts and activity. In doing so, much of my routine ‘day-to-day’ assignments remained on the ‘back burner.’ Being ‘away’ from the routine has served a purpose though, it has shown me how much I get done each day! During…

    Lucinda and I had about finished our catch-up when she turned to me and said: “Thanks for the meeting, Charlie, it was good to share some time. You know, when I first came to the business forum I didn’t think you liked me.” I laughed the statement off as we prepared to leave the coffee…

    I hadn’t seen Hans for 15 years until our Boxing Day rendezvous on his way to visit his sister in Holland.  Since that first meeting, Hans had finally wed his long-term girlfriend, Susan – along with the full blessing of her father! ‘So how did you manage to finally get Susan to the alter, Hans?’…
