How do you rate your bounce back-ability?
How do you rate your bounce back-ability? Hi everyone, I wrote in an earlier blog that by controlling our responses to situations we can influence the outcome, which is true, although it can take practice. But I think our overall bounce back-ability and resilience can have a big impact on how we handle situations too. […]
A Little Self Care for Easter?
A Little Self Care for Easter? Hi everyone, Are you facing a whirl of visits this weekend or do the days stretch out deliciously (both literally and metaphorically) in front of you with no specific plans? Depending on your personality type you’ll have a preference one way or the other but I hope you’ve factored […]
Do You Love Your Job?
Do You Love Your Job? Hi everyone, Fail fast and pivot is an expression that has been around for some time and I like it because I think we do need to have the courage to try new things, take action and not let things drift if they’re not working out, and adapt to move […]
Excited….or Terrified??
Excited….or Terrified?? Hi everyone, My presentations start at Heswall Hall next week so I’m asking myself if I’m excited or terrified. The answer is….impatient! My greatest challenge unfortunately.

Be strong…and ask for help
Be strong…and ask for help Hi everyone, As a more introverted person I used to be terrible at asking for help. I would hold my worries in my head, let them rumble around for ages and only talk to friends about them once I’d decided on a solution. My friends used to get very frustrated […]
Taking Responsibility
Taking Responsibility Hi everyone, This blog started off in my head as a pet peeve but I think there’s probably more to say about it than that.

Introversion and Extraversion – The Difference Between Us
Introversion and Extraversion – The Difference Between Us Hi everyone, I talk a lot about introversion and extraversion but I’m thinking it’s important to identify the differences between the two. I should also say, that in order to put my point across I sometimes speak in very general terms and refer to the extremes of […]
How did I get here?!
