The real you . . .
Ever heard of the imposter syndrome? I bet Mark Furness has. Mark Furness’ story is one of success. Surviving for a while only on cereal, and earning a meagre, but honest and necessary, living working in a Thai takeaway, he had ambition to do something else. And after a long, hard slog, with support from… Read More The real you . . .
Accomplishing greatness . . .
Deb Weidenhamer, founder of American Auction Company, says that goal-setting, planning, and managing your time wisely are critical for success. Perhaps a message which might not surprise any of us. It sounds sensible and more than reasonable, doesn’t it. However, she also suggests that there’s another important ingredient that shouldn’t be overlooked – do… Read More Accomplishing greatness . . .
Collide with the unexpected . . .
Last year, BBC Radio 4 broadcast the excellent, Networking Nation (still available), presented by Julia Hobsbawm OBE. In 5, 15-minute episodes, Ms Hobsbawm encouraged us to think about what networking means. I’m intrigued by brilliant networking.

Looking after you . . .
I like words. I learnt some new ones the other day: data rot and link decay. Ouch. I’m guessing they made it into the dictionary fairly recently, or at least into a more technical dictionary than the one I’m used to. And if you were wondering, they roughly translate as this:… Read More Looking after you . . .
What captivates you?
I wouldn’t be so bold as to comment on my success – that’s for others to feed back on – but what I can say is that the key to my satisfaction, and the essence of my body of work, is to be able to coach. When I found coaching, I felt I’d come… Read More What captivates you?
