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

    Going the distance

    I took a pit-stop for a really good coffee and cinnamon bun (couldn’t resist) with a friend yesterday, we were comparing notes, putting the world to rights and generally catching up with business.

    The positive, and where to find it.

    Positive: a desirable or constructive quality or attribute.                “take your weaknesses and translate them into positives” It’s easy to be influenced by all that mainstream media brings to the doorstep, good and bad (sad), all of this conspires to influence our own thinking and in some instances, our well-being. These days I tend not…

  • Gone Fishing

    Networking is a little bit like fishing. It takes time. We need to pick the spot – find the right conditions for you Is it fairly local? Fair Weather, without any competition or potential snags? Do we have the right tools? A smile, business cards, pen perhaps … We need to prepare the pool to…

  • Avoid disappointments. Give more time

    Developing the relationships through networking is important it is the foundation of success. Most of us are aware of this although there comes a time when we need to step back and think: ‘Is the relationship i value really a priority for my network colleagues?’ I’ve had my own personal experiences with supposed allies, friends…

  • Look after your mates

        The one topic that the referral handbooks don’t cover is the question of … internal disputes. When partnerships fail and the rogue is uncovered … the apple-cart tips! As a referral partner, should I shout about it? Whisper the warnings? Maybe report the offending operator as a dud and not worthy of anyone…

    Over the last few decades, networking has devolved into an endless series of cattle-call events full of barn-style open bars, pizza and a mingle coffee meets and the inevitable gathering tub-thumpers … Perfect strangers, after a long day at the office, agree to show up and bump into each other, randomly exchanging business pitches for…
