The Mystery of Flight, and Managing Change

Rather as a plane needs to have both the thrust to provide the forward motion, they also need the wings to generate the lift. In the same way a new idea needs the dream to produce drive, and it needs the excitement to make the dream fly ...

Life Sentence

Steve decided that he wanted to redecorate his lounge, and wondered how many rolls of wallpaper he would need. He asked his neighbour Andy how many rolls he had bought. Andy said he bought 5 rolls of wallpaper, so Steve purchased 5 rolls too. When he had finished redecorating he found that had a roll left over entirely untouched ...

Mind the gap

In leadership terms, it’s important to know where you’re going to, to define where you want to end up. Sometimes this is really quite obvious. When Kennedy stated “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade” on September 12 1962 it was really quite obvious where there was, and where here was. There was the moon, and here was the earth.If we don’t know where we are, we’ll not be able to chart the course to where we want to get to ...

What can I be best in the world at?

Having spent many enjoyable years engaged as a sales engineer and sales manager, it didn’t ever give me the rewards that I found from leading a training session where people learned something new and put that into practice. For a season I was both sales manager and training manager for a particular high ticket online secure database product, and I discovered that it was actually so much more rewarding to deliver the training to a new client than to make the sale!

Any dream will do

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain,  To see for certain what I thought I knew.  Far, far away, someone was weeping , But the world was sleeping, Any dream will do.I first heard these lyrics when I was a teenager, and more recently when I started thinking about what they actually meant for me I found an interpretation that really resonated and helped me to understand why I love doing what I’m doing.

Where are you going to?

"You’re nothing but a dreamer."I never dreamt I’d be able to fit into a 30” waist again. That’s what I thought some years ago when I caught sight of my portly figure.

Paperback Writer

Publishing a book on Amazon. Oh, I could write a book about that! How many times have you heard someone say that when they’ve been through some difficult situation or experience, or when they want to have a gossip about something. Maybe you’ve said it yourself from time to time too.
