With leadership, we always advise to look at your individual team members and their own thoughts and perspectives. Despite all this, we have more similarities than differences. We are all drawn to natural light no matter how bright everything is around us. Even small children have this natural instinct. We have a natural magnetism toContinue reading “Pop goes the weasel”

Sweet and Bitter
The good times will just be normal if they happen all the time. The same with the bad times. A leader is someone who understands that they can’t make their team happy all of the time, neither can they deliver on time to spec all of the time too, neither can you celebrate at everyContinue reading “Sweet and Bitter”
Cool mornings
With three children, rarely is it a quiet morning getting ready. They all have differing needs and wants. Some are morning people and others are not. It’s the same as leading a team. The larger your team gets, the more you need to have consideration for. The main difference is having children means you knowContinue reading “Cool mornings”
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”
Taking a Break

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”

Trying to organise every day to match the curiosity of the children is challenging- I would never downplay being the person solely responsible for various activities that they are interested in but may not be your own personal strengthContinue reading “First Time for Everything”
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”

Resilience in lockdown: An Author
Since I have been on this career break, I’ve lightly touched on how much I am finding out about myself quite frequently. It may seem like I am exaggerating but having the space to just think out loud, absorb my surroundings, look up into the sky and the trees has given me a huge amountContinue reading “Resilience in lockdown: An Author”
