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

  • Shut that door – the Hunter again!

    Looking to nullify the effect of the inevitable “Hunter” present in your Network Forum? Here are just a few more tips from our series of … How to combat the sales-hungry ‘Matt Le-Fatt’ type… As in earlier post, Matt Le-Fatt is our fictitious ever-present shark-hunter type.

  • The BIG – A. Ambition or Apathy?

    Attitudes are contagious Which attitude is prevalent in your network forum? Easy or edgy, positive or negative, go with the flow or grow with inspiration? If you find the attitude is not right, then how do you turn it around? As people-persons we all need a reality check at times, because it is easy to…

  • Attitude meets diversity

    Without doubt professional variety plays an important part of our network. Without variety there would be a particularly dull meeting, this is why we invite our guests. The same can be said for attitude … and when the positive attitude mixes with diversity the magic of word of mouth referral has the potential to bring…

  • Because they said so …

    So why is it that, according to George and since the early 20th Century we’ve understood that the truth is rarely represented via the media … simple really, we like the gossip don’t we? Some cannot live without a bit of scandal.

  • Why people buy people

    Over the last few decades, networking has devolved into an endless series of cattle-call events full of barn-style open bars, coffee meets and the inevitable tub-thumping. Perfect strangers, after a long day at the office, agree to show up and bump into each other, randomly exchanging business pitches for business cards. Needless to say, traditional networking is not working anymore. For successful 21st century business people, large networking events and the mountains of business cards they produce have become a waste of time and valuable resources. It’s time to re-evaluate why people buy people. So let me ask you … are you Networking or Netconnecting? Networking will feed you today. And for some of us, this is why we ‘do’ networking. We know this, but connecting … really connecting and playing the longer game, understanding that properly developed relations is what makes for some amazing and sustainable opportunities that stretch far deeper than simply the one-off business opportunity. So let me ask you … are you Networking for today or Netconnecting?

  • Go on, tell me you don’t need it.

    So unless you are living in a cave and therefore don’t particularly rely on people for your business to grow, then yes, you will need to consider publicity in some shape or form. How you qualify the vast number of options available and implement those that are most suitable for you and your business is key…
