Your not-so-loyal servant

14 August 2023
Recently on the tablet of wisdom that is LinkedIn, a coach/consultant asked the people of LinkedIn to vote on whether managers should be rewarded for retaining staff. The people responded – by not voting!  Probably taken aback at being asked to consider whether managers would have it in their power to do this. Because retention […]

Dosh, dough, bees and honey – let’s get used to talking about MONEY

31 July 2023
Talking about money in the UK is hard, sometimes being seen as gauche or embarrassing particularly when you are asking for help.

28 March 2023
Since Clotho spun the thread of human fate at the dawn of humanity, people have been fighting to take control of their destiny.

28 February 2023
Values have long been touted as the crowning glory of a culture. Yet also a guilty conscience. When Barclays was embroiled in a banking scandal, out came the values in six-foot Perspex in the reception area of the Canary Wharf headquarters.
