We have been so lucky with the weather this year! 2020 has shown me that we do have a great outdoors that we can enjoy without getting wet and miserable! At work, we can get so wrapped up in our day to day work that we can’t think freely. We only think in the bounds…
Some people have Sunday morning lay-ins and others don’t. This isn’t about whether you have children or not as some children are great sleepers so we won’t have this parental discussion here! Non-parents can lay-in but a lot choose not to and I was one of these before I had the children. I wanted to…
Which leaf do you like? Which one will you choose to be the main leaf to admire? How do you prioritise? We see this a lot in large business; there is too much opportunity and too little time to achieve it in! Also, juggling all of these things at once? Does it really work, for…
When we go out anywhere, the little one loves to keep up with her older sister. See the picture above with them looking over the gate? That shows that they have different perspectives! ‘Look mummy, I can see the Reservoir’ said my eldest as she could see over the top where the second one remarked…
Bowls of Porridge I don’t like porridge! There, I have said it! But shhh, don’t tell my kids! So far, they are more than happy to eat it and it is a luxury to them with frozen fruit and honey all over the top. They eat porridge a few times a week because I know…
As shared previously, my little one loves anything to do with leaves, insects, soil, trees. Here is a photograph of her looking outside of a basketball court in the park in order to pick leaves from a nearby tree; I have learned to check her pockets before I set the laundry! We recently needed to…
In a Minute! Where do the children learn these words? Where do adults learn this concept? What happened to having the natural human instinct which says just do it now? the impulse to really do something immediately because we know it is the right thing to do? I look at my children and with the…
My children love to get their hands dirty and barefoot in the soil. It’s an earlier trip to the park today as the lovely heatewave means midday is just too hot! As business leaders, we are encouraged to coach, mentor, give the team space to deliver but how often do we really get our hands…
It’s another scorching hot day! It is incredible how much summer we are having! Our interest at going to the beach has peaked but the scenes on the news show way too many crowds and therefore infection risk so we will enjoy our garden! My kids love water balloons… filling them up is just as…
We are always taught to be grateful leaders at work. I try to treach my children to be grateful… but when does gratefulness become a bad thing for business? There are some people in companies that are so grateful to have a job that it means they avoid any entrepreneurship activities. They keep doing the…
