When you’re “Out of the Office” just how “Out” of the office are you?  And do you manage others' expectations whilst you are (including your own?) With the holiday season upon us, this is a timely way to plan your exit strategy and still look after your...

Something which occurred to me this week was how helpful it is to put yourself in the position of a learner again.   We so often feel disadvantage if we don't 'know' something but hey - we know much less than we think we know and that's the point. It...

"When you focus and know what you don't want,  what you DO want starts to reveal itself."   I said this to a client recently as I listened to her tell me: and I don't want to work in the office full timeand I don't want to manage more than 2 people maxand I...

So, I'm off seeing my sister in Crete this week.   She and her partner Nick moved there in May and whilst I miss her being around A LOT I'm so excited to see how they're building out their new lives on a Greek island! When you consider "one day I'll ...." you...
