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

  • A lighthouse for dark times

    I would sooner be a swimming rat than a sinking ship — at all events I can look around me for a little longer — and I remember how one of us, a rat with particularly bright eyes called Shelley, squeaked out, “Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world,”

    A little light relief.

    The topic of conversation was anger. How does anger it affect you?  Is there an emotional outburst or is it more an affront to your mental or emotional well-being? The question came up at my regular yoga class with Harsha Moore. We weren’t expecting the question and there was some coaxing before the answers came.…

    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…

  • See different

    See different

    I picked up the pen to jot down a note to myself, instead of the original prompt I wrote: ‘No, I’m not doing this …’  It was a message from my subliminal self saying it was time for something different. The idea of doing the same thing for the same result, helping others, wasn’t appealing,…

    I clutched my bag of groceries as I clambered out of the car, just in time to meet the postie fast approaching, her own hands full of paperwork. I could tell she looked a little ‘troubled.” Before I could greet her I was handed the mail and asked … ‘Do you know the people around the…

    Speak the lingo?

    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?’…

    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 …
