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 moon and you.The magic of the unnecessary.

    BY MARIA POPOVA Every night, for every human being that ever was and ever will be, the Moon rises to remind us how improbably lucky we are, each of its craters a monument of the odds we prevailed against to exist, a reliquary of the violent collisions that forged our rocky planet lush with life…

  • Help me, help you!

    Help me, help you!

    Without question, the biggest obstacle to new business progress is overcoming the lack of confidence. Who can blame us? I hear you say.  After all, these past few years have been tough for many, especially those working for themselves … by themselves. Navigating an uncertain, fast-changing business landscape calls for a special kind of fortitude. Would you be surprised when I…

  • Self Renewal

    A FEATURE, guest contribution from The Marginalian by Maria Popova John Gardner on the Key to Self-Renewal Across Life and the Art of Making Rather Than Finding Meaning A person is not a potted plant of predetermined personality but a garden abloom with the consequences of chance and choice that have made them who they…

  • Isn’t that amazing?

    Isn’t that amazing?

    I must admit to being a little absent-minded recently. One project was taking up most of my thoughts and activity. In doing so, much of my routine ‘day-to-day’ assignments remained on the ‘back burner.’ Being ‘away’ from the routine has served a purpose though, it has shown me how much I get done each day! During…

    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…

  • Just Be.

    Be you. The Shadow Elephant: A Tender Illustrated Fable About What It Takes to Unblue Our Sorrows and Lighten the Load of Our Heaviest Emotions BY MARIA POPOVA The strange thing about life, the wondrous thing about life, is that it is impossible to dull one hue of our emotional experience without dulling the entire…

  • Am I OK?

    Am I OK?

    I’m at a stage where my ‘business’ tends to run itself. Even though I don’t reflect too much on this landmark, it makes me happy. It’s a destination I’d always hoped I’d arrive at some point. Life in business is rarely plain sailing … There was a point not so long ago when I though…
