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

    I was twelve years of age when I realised I needed to work for a living. How about you? It was the time I’d started secondary school. All my friends were riding cycles to and from school and so, naturally, I thought life would be so much better if I was able to ride instead…

    We’ve been celebrating our 12.5 yr anniversary of the Weeklybiz Network this week. Something real, tangible and collaborative In a world that has gradually become fake-friendly, I’ve learned to appreciate the value of what genuine people bring to my 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.…

    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…
