  • 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… Read more

  • Reliable is referable

    Let’s keep it simple … Leverage the benefits of belonging to a network, by becoming that go-to person, because … ‘reliable = referable’ #firstchoice #networking #reliable #you Read more

  • See different

    I picked up the pen to jot down a note to myself, instead of the original prompt I wrote: ‘No, I’m not doing this …’  It was a message from my subliminal self saying it was time for something different. The idea of doing the same thing for the same result, helping others, wasn’t appealing,… Read more

  • Dip your toe …

    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… Read more

Is it?” Here’s what Victoria had to say: It’s never too late to change, Charlie. I’d love… Read more

  • Catch you later …

    Sue and I sat down at the kitchen table to sample the latest cake. Wonderful! I felt I must be getting on in years if I’m feeling excited about yet another appointment with cake?  Yet, that’s me, I’m in my happy place! Anyway, I was about to sink my teeth into a rather generous slice… Read more

  • Staying the course

    I was talking with a friend of mine recently during one of our morning meetings. Dennis is a successful dealer of antiques. A senior guy who confesses he should have retired ‘years ago.’ ‘Then why don’t you?’ I asked. (Knowing the answer didn’t stop me asking anyway …) The object of derision for Dennis was… Read more

  • please, tell me your story

    Del and I had met for a one to one. We were discussing the illustrations for a forthcoming booklet, amongst other things. The subject we spent time on had the common interest of networking. How the path to tangible results varies from person to person, industry to industry. The networking process usually offers time of… Read more
