It’s been inspiring to hear how the depth of winter has inspired so much personal change. For me, taking time out over New Year always inspires new direction, and this year

Its a challenge as trainers that we face weekly. Most of our customers are successful enterprises and they tend to hire for experience, aptitude and attitude, so losers are thin on the
- [Connected Communications](https://www.inspire-ing.co.uk/connected-communications/) - Adam Hopkinson's angry old man rant about how we are using , and abusing, communication channels, was an interesting start to my week. His basic premises is that we should pay more attention to the channels we use, avoid switching mid conversation (i.e. moving from email to text), and we should avoid using them as

I would never swear at real people. We generate a lot of high-quality printed

That's what I did and the book was almost finished by the weekend. It led me to consider the issue of accountability. I'm sure we all agree that 'business lives and

Doesnt matter how many GTD books I read, there is nothing like a good refresher with a master like Graham at the helm. Its great to have one of his colleagues, Mark, post an article this week; in a

It happens sporadically, yet this time I can't blame the kids. Another international crisis, more all night 24 hour news fests, but this time with added twizzaz.
