Sit down. Breathe. Write. Repeat...Marathon not sprint
It's a phrase I've heard countless times "It's a marathon - not just a sprint" and it's useful. You could say this about virtually anything that it's a longer process, journey, ride than you might think it is. That the finishing line is further...
In the middle of it all
In 2013 I decided to host my first ever 3 Day Live Event. A baptism by fire if ever there was one. I was so nervous I thought my knees would give wayI was off course and had too many slides and not enough timeI slapped my...
Brilliant question
When I was asked yesterday, during a talk I gave to a 100+ women in financial services "What's the best career advice you have for us Kay?" it made me stop in my tracks. It's such a good question and, the challenge is, finding just ONE is tricky....

Only 10 Minutes
