A leader isn’t alone in making decisions. The least effective leaders think that they need to decide all alone without input from their team or idea sharing at all times. A huge focus on working collaboratively has been a force in the workplace. Working remotely has shown how much collaboration can happen constantly because thereContinue reading “Collaborating for Business Decisions”

Hazy Monday
Regardless of whether it is the first day of school or the first day of a new job, excitement and apprehension fills your sleep the night before. We lay out our clothes the night before, organise what we will do for breakfast or lunch, take a photo to remember this occasion, and accept well wishesContinue reading “Hazy Monday”
End of the Holidays
We start back to school next Monday but we are now winding down all of our activities. School uniform is all purchased ready to be labelled and will be put into PE bags before the weekend, just to enjoy our last Saturday and Sunday as a whole family before the school run starts. When youContinue reading “End of the Holidays”
Scrolling mindset
We all have moments where we scroll our various media channels thinking we have read or engaged with everything; but we haven’t. Sometimes I check the weather app 3x before I have really taken it in. It is a lot of data at once but as it is aimless scrolling, we don’t always go inContinue reading “Scrolling mindset”
Taking a Break
It is the second-half of the summer holidays and the weather is encouraging us away from activities and into more thoughtful activities. It does feel like we have crammed so much in the first half that we forgot to pay attention to things like the local Library Reading Challenge (we made a trip today), artsContinue reading “Taking a Break”
Big Ideas
How do you feel when the schedule you have put together doesn’t go to plan? Not a great feeling, but being agile is so valuable these days and having the mental resilience to take ownership of it is underestimated. Planning all the activities we want to do this summer with the children has of courseContinue reading “Big Ideas”
The summer start
It’s been a very short amount of time but the long summer holidays looks short. We have been spending as much time outside as possible, in parks and in the garden. It’s funny how your perspective changes whether you are in work and out of work; just recently I would’ve been in an office mostContinue reading “The summer start”
Brands and Freedom
So yesterday I talked about persuading my girls to take nice pictures on Eid… here is the aftermath after ice-cream; barefoot handstands and football! Taking time out to explore your own freedoms and not being restricted by the exterior. When companies have a particular feel with their brand, sometimes doing something different reminds us ofContinue reading “Brands and Freedom”
Unusual moments of Teamwork
There aren’t many moments when you can have perfection in and out. This picture looks like it, the girls were dressed up for Eid but what we can’t capture in the picture is the rest of the scene. The commentary of me saying ‘let’s take photos before the playground’, ‘we’ve got a few more picsContinue reading “Unusual moments of Teamwork”
Being in the moment
It’s been a while since I wrote my last blog post. I’m very thankful so many of you have kept reading it whilst I have been away being in the moment. I’m naturally a busy-minded person having multiple search tabs in my brain and enjoying being able to move from one topic to the next-Continue reading “Being in the moment”
