Taking initiative, being an intrapreneur/ entrepreneur has gained even more importance during the time in Covid19 where many businesses have to change what they do in order to survive. The tradition in big companies means that you need to have an established process to follow. These processes don’t just tell you what to do, they…
My most memorable interview was when I argued with the hiring manager. Not arguing as in falling out, but having a professional debate that was quick-fire, responsive and to the point.

It’s been a sporadic posting time right now as I have been combating the lockdown and tier systems with the kids with lots of outdoor time. We walk, climb trees, slide around in the mud and just forget that there is a lockdown and a potentially lonely time. All of that has changed now as…

It’s been interesting to think about the luxury of having a garden, some outside space, more than one room for our family to live in as I think the COVID19 lockdown would have been much more difficult. Contemplating on a potential lockdown with the children over winter where we can’t visit parks, where it will…
One of the unsaid skills now are working globally. It is no longer an option, or an added extra skill, it is an expected accomplishment. Global working doesn’t just mean speaking an additional language, or being able to travel, it means being flexible with your timings to speak to colleagues in different regions, being able…
My children have decided that the word ‘Poo!’ is amusing! It doesn’t matter how tired, upset, happy, busy they are, this word always makes them smile and any dispute, worry or concern is gone! This word, as much as I don’t want it said at home, really diffuses any upset that the children may have…
