4 ways of maximising shareholder value – for YOUR life!
I have just watched my daughters drive off up the road to school – Alice, the eldest, passed her test in early December and Maisy has already assumed the role of ‘Lady Muck,’ with the god given right to be chauffeured everywhere! I was just sat in my office and looking out the window as […]
Are you one of the 50%?
As professionals, we spend on average 50% of our waking lives working – doing it, commuting to it, thinking about it, talking about it – and research also shows that around 50% of us are not engaged in what we do. It makes sense that we should feel motivated, inspired, excited and energised about spending […]
8 Top Tips on Embedding Change
Given that change seems to be endemic in every organisation I come across, it is fair to say that organisations that have the capability to change effectively are stronger and are likely to be more ‘future-proof’ than those that can’t.

It\’s tough being an effective role model!
I have just submitted a membership application on behalf of my daughter to join Ramsbottom Running Club and will happily stump up the £20 fee – isn’t it funny what you will willingly pay for and on what things you attempt to impose the ‘take accountability for money’ lessons on your children 🙂 Anyway – […]
Is it time for a health check in business and life?
I have just had my annual ‘well man’ check up at the doctors and it got me thinking – given we are all on the busy treadmill called life, isn’t it easy to get caught up in the daily grind without making sure that we are still fit for purpose. This is pertinent to our […]

For those of […]
What to pack?
Under 2 weeks to go 🙂 OMG!!! It has been a bit of a ‘bitty’ week really – busy, travelling, home to Devon, but got my training done and on-going progress. I have now started to think about how I ‘taper’ – I think that is the technical term – so perhaps the last walk with […]
Having a ‘Team Me’
Another week and another 40 + miles in the bag 🙂 getting closer! It has been a great week from a training perspective, managed to get 6 sessions done of varying types and feeling really strong as a result. From an emotional perspective it has been a bit of an up and down week. I have […]
Mind over Matter
Another week closer to ‘D’ day :-), only 4 weeks to go and the last email from Adventure Peaks came through this week with all of the final details. Itinerary, flight details, equipment checklists, admin details and medical / emergency insights – all printed out ready for my laser like attention to detail….. think I […]
Will it help me get up the mountain?
So what a week – been at home a little more the last week so pushing hard with training – combining strength and endurance work, with running, with walking up Holcombe Hill carrying extra weight and wearing my big boots! J Over 30 miles in the last week and over 110 miles so far in […]
