We shook hands over the first coffee of the morning and with a room full of colleagues, I was meeting another smiling face ‘How can I help you?’ I asked. “I’m not sure, I’m just going to see how it goes with this business, test the water and give it a few months. If it doesn’t…

Just ask Hilary. People buy from people. With the spotlight on choices by the people and some monumental personal decisions on both sides of ‘the pond’ this year, it is never been so blindingly obvious: “I’ve learned that people forget what you said, …

Bill and I were discussing business over coffee and a magnificent ‘sticky bun’ the other morning. More reflection than current news. The state of ‘people politics’ was popular, as was all things general when Bill suddenly said… ‘I’m really not looking forward to the New Year Charlie. I’m not sure we can carry our existing…
