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

  • The ‘IN’ crowd

    The Inner Circle thing … A guy called Bill was in touch recently and asked whether I could help him sort out with preparation to a press release he was writing. It was issues with  editing he was having trouble with and even though I didn’t yet know him well and given that it’s not…

  • Business with ‘friends.’ Really?

    Business with ‘friends.’ Really?

    I’ve managed to learn one or two things over the years, certainly one is that doing business is far better with friends: with people you trust, admire, enjoy being around, and with people who make you laugh. Agreed, there are good ways and there are bad ways of going about working with friends. Anyway, below…

  • Just a little breathless?

    Just a little breathless?

    Know how you feel. I must admit, I’ve found the month of January to be challenging. It seems the whole world and it’s partner have shot ‘out of the blocks’ with both barrels blazing, proclamations of help for this, offers of this new product a new system and encouragement for participation in everything else –…

  • Emotions are useful

    Emotions are useful

      Darren was having trouble with his sales conversion and asked for my advice. Why me? I thought … He explained that as someone who had been ‘around the block’ (a kinder version of his opening gambit, I might ad) … that my opinion mattered to him, so I might be able to help out.…

  • Hey, go-to person!

    Hey, go-to person!

    So the spider tends the web, the fisherman works his net. Both are busy, setting out their wares understanding that, sooner or later they are going to find what they are looking for … Bingo! Reward for all the attentiveness and persistence required to be successful. So what is he on? I hear you ask…

  • Simple vision … through words

    Simple vision … through words

    For a good while now I’ve stuck to my three-word principle. It’s something that keeps me ‘on track.’ The three word principle is a short-cut to the plan of where I want to get to and what I need to do to be there. It’s a (much) shorter version of the business plan. Three words…

  • Patience is indeed a virtue.

    Patience is indeed a virtue.

    Darren had ‘bought in’ to the commitment of spending time to realise a return on his efforts, so when we met up recently I was pleased to see he was now participating within a vibrant Network Forum, with a determination to help ‘grow’ with the group. ‘How do I give?’ was the question. In short…

  • Lazy marketing? Get real, get personal…

    It’s Time to Get Personal A little something from Chris Brogan … Phew. You’ve never heard that before…getting personal? But here’s the thing. It’s more true than ever before because Facebook and other technologies are now penalizing LAZY marketing. If you’re just lobbing crap over the fence, it’s not going to be seen. By anyone.…
