Out with the old,...

A new year is looming and talk of ‘New Year, New Me’ is in the air, with many aiming to get fit, get healthier, get better with money – getting better at something (anything) is the order of the day. A new goal, hobby or habit requires discipline, so when setting your own, take it through the […]

Christmas is a time for giving – whether that’s sending presents to family and friends or popping your loose change in a charity tin, it is often the season to be a little bit more generous. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a key component in any business hoping to have a positive impact upon society. […]

Politics and The Office...

They say there are two topics you should never discuss on a date; your ex and politics. For a budding young politics graduate, who could literally argue to death the ontological existence of this stapler beside him, the romantics of beginning office life charts peculiar territory. On the one hand, I am encouraged to debate, question […]

Which shape are you?

The Ideal Blend by...

I have a good friend who has developed a very successful business in the rat race that is our capital, working with some pretty senior executives to help them to identify and then live their ideal ‘blend’… That is, the appropriate ‘blend’ from all channels of their life to maintain and ensure optimum productivity (management […]

In Memoriam of Twitter’s...

Twitter was given a collective heart-attack last week as the much-loved ‘favourite’ star was replaced with a heart. Following in the footsteps of Facebook, users can now ‘like’ a tweet in what appears to be a bid to add emotion to the interactions between users.
