  • Feel it?

    In a world where fake prevails, when there’s a promise of a shortcut to success in everything we pursue, where data means more than relationships, property value is more important than the community in which we inhabit, I find the focus on personal engagement to be uniquely valuable today.

  • Our circular society

    Of course, the challenge is repetition. Routine for some is challenging until they ‘get it.’  Life itself has a tendency to disrupt the best-laid plans.

  • It was, going so well …

    Every year we know December follows three months after September, and still we see some looking to push for the seasonal wins … a little too feverishly. I know it’s a strategy many hold dear, although it can be counter-productive. If only we learned to pace the last quarter, coming off summer with a clear…

  • At your pace

    It’s times like this I reward effort, when chocolate comes to mind (ah yes, now I have your attention): only one square, or a single swirl – or even a single ball of the chocolate, the version you covet most, offering you a sweet taste of success, even if it is for just a moment.…

  • Dull, boring, referral

In distracting environments, only parts of the message resonate with the audience. Consistent messaging is vital for business success, as it ensures clarity and enhances listener engagement, ultimately leading to valuable opportunities.

  • Top of mind

    We all have a purpose in whatever we choose to pursue. If you haven’t questioned or identified your purpose lately, now might be the time to reflect and quietly reaffirm your passion, the path to success you may be following, the goal you are looking to reach.

  • Giving more

I smiled and thought it was more than a coincidence, as I’d been nominated by the ‘chief cook and bottle washer’ to pick up ‘real butter.’ I had no idea why…

  • Image maker

    I was talking with a pal I hadn’t seen for a while. Mark wanted to introduce me to his girlfriend, who he said was looking to launch her own new business. ‘I’ve sorted a logo already, Charlie. I’m hoping the device can reflect all I’m able to provide and so tempt some new enquiries. ‘What…

  • Make it easy

    How do I do that? I recently enjoyed a conversation with an old friend, an electronics engineer whom I hadn’t seen for a couple of years. He was finding it difficult to offer his tech services as a solution. Sure, he would describe, in detail, what he could provide … but solutions?  Noel has difficulty…

  • Jackpot!

    We talked about ‘Show and tell as opposed to say and tell.’ This is something I’ve been ‘banging on about’ for years; people buy into what they believe, and what better way to convince your audience than to turn up on the day and demonstrate why your story matters?
