    South Africa 2010

    29th January 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree

    South Africa can break your heart – daily. It can also fill it to overflowing. A country of extreme joy and heartache all muddled up, and dished up in great big dollops. There is much hope, optimism and growth – an antidote to the cold, dark greyness of London, and I can’t resist it seeping into my psyche, uninvited but very welcome all the same.

    PIPBA – Impact & Personal Branding

    4th September 2009 | 2 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree

    Four years ago I came across the term 'personal branding' and my senses went on high alert.  I wasn't sure about the label - it smacked of style over substance.  All a little too deeply dunked in blatant self-promotion for my taste.

    BA won’t pay

    17th June 2009 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree

    It’s a real shame that BA’s CEO Willie Walsh isn’t a warm and cuddly personality. We might view yesterday’s revelation that 40,000 staff have been asked to work for no pay for up to four weeks, made via the company’s in-house newspaper in a different light.
