It has been a purposeful and enjoyable week. Eight events working with people all over the world from our dining room. Today’s purpose had a difference. The pursuit of nature, on Britain’s highest beach and our favourite picnic spot for lunch. Purpose is not just about work. It is about making the most of whatever… Continue reading Time Out

Balance
So, how was your first week of 2022? My ten-day break ended with four sessions on my first day ‘back’. A great, intense way to start the year. The rest of the week was more sedate, with an even spread of delivery, design and meetings. Last week got me thinking about balance. The importance of… Continue reading Balance
Smaller World
My world feels physically smaller, yet bigger, these days. I’m no longer an expert in transport timetables, hotel and sandwich chains. That knowledge is now applied to sourcing the best independent locally sourced food. Work is all over the world, even though I run everything from our dining room table.

Chasing Rainbows
I have always loved rainbows. Bright, vivid, memorable. They take you from A to B in a circuitous route. Sometimes the route disappears in the clouds and you have to look more deeply to check your path.A bit like those things we call goals. Last week we were on the beach and rainbows appeared. It… Continue reading Chasing Rainbows
That Was the Year that Was
This time last year, I decided I was going to drink more…….water. And work more from home. The first one was easy, the second one….well, let’s just say I didn’t want it to happen the way it did. You can’t sugar-coat unnecessary illness and death. My heart goes out to everyone affected. My short, very… Continue reading That Was the Year that Was
