It was one of those clear, crisp Autumn mornings … so wife, father-in-law (George) and I took some time to walk down through the gardens to the church yard. We crossed the old ‘falling-down’ bridge and up, through the gates leading to our destination. We were here just last month. George had wanted to show us…

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…

It wasn’t a planned stay, we happened to react to an invitation – perhaps because we were at the right place/right time, we were available.

Whether you realise it or not, you already know a lot about memory hooks. You’ve been using them consciously or unconsciously since you were small… For instance: When you were in primary school, what was your best friends nickname? Where were you when “Thriller” was being played? Who you think of whenever you hear someone…

No guts, no glory … With the return of Tim Peake safely back to Terra-firma it certainly has me wondering of the courage, commitment and faith those mortals greater than I possess. Major Tim Peake and others like him from all nations should be congratulated whole-heartedly for their achievements through inner belief, faith, trust and…

Is the glass half empty or half full? Are you a positive influence or one of negativity? Do you sugarcoat things or get straight to the point? Much has been said about the best way of approaching business development or implementation of change, it can be stressful for many. Each of us have our goals…
