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…

It can be tough at the top … just ask any owner/manager. During the busy times there are simply not enough hours in the day, we’re pretty much stretched just coping, ‘making hay’ when we’re busy and when those quieter times arrive? We take the opportunity to ‘kick back’ don’t we? We embrace the ‘down…

Be helpful. It seems to me we worry a lot about how people see us… “But, I’m no expert,” I’ve heard people say. In most cases, people want a solution more than they want to worry about who you are or are not. It’s true of course, I might want my surgeon and my airline…

Writing for leisure should be an enjoyable experience, an outlet where you can express your own personal views and tell a story or two. Ian had reached a hiatus to his latest manuscript and decided to ‘down tools’ for a bit so I ‘put the kettle on.’ Working with a new author can be rewarding,…

We’ve all been there before haven’t we? You know, those situations when you say to yourself … “I should really do that now – otherwise I’ll never get it done…” My dear ‘other half ‘ reminisces daily … what Sue had forgotten today, she was adding to the mental list for tomorrow. I invariably chuckle…

“I’ve had enough.” Many times I’d heard this from Alice and never really listened … now I couldn’t help but notice, as she uttered the words, the decibels were definitely a notch or two up on ‘the norm’ and I noticed also, she didn’t look particularly happy. ‘It’s too hard, they’re not listening to me,…
