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

    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.

    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…

    Where are you heading?

    Bob is one of many friends joining me for the regular Weeklybiz meeting.  He’s an unassuming type, usually arriving early to the meeting, each week taking up his usual seat at the table as we start the introductions. ‘Mr Reliable’ is the name we call him. Rarely do we see Bob picking up enquiries, and so…

    Hi, I’m Connie.

    Great to see you this morning Connie, let’s grab a beverage, tea or coffee? Coffee would be great, thanks. You know Charlie, I almost didn’t make it today. Just the thought of showing up to a room full of people I don’t know, the idea unsettles me. Congratulations are due. Well done, Connie, my advice…

    We cannot build on maybe

    yes, no, or maybe. What turns away most new networkers? The ‘hungry’ member-driven groups often bring the most criticism. The calibre of people these seem to attract can be questionable. Dubious sentiments? Could be …
