Saying thank you is something many of us are conditioned to do from a very young age. "Say thank you", I remember saying to my son when he was very young when someone gave him something or did something for him. We condition our children to do it from a very young age. It doesn't matter what role you do...

Yesterday we heard Jenny Harries; the UK Deputy Chief Medical Officer suggest that we could be in 'lockdown' for 6-months. I am sure this prospect gave you a very negative feeling. It certainly did for me, and my first thoughts were how can we cope with this. Like many small businesses in the world this would be a significant impact...

As we enter a new phase of the crisis we are starting to have limitations placed on our freedom particularly on things that we take for granted and that are a habit in that we don't think about what we are doing; it's a habit. We're being told to limit our gathering in groups and to keep a minimum distance...

I really love delivering training on time management.  It is a subject I know many people have problems with, it is an easy trap to fall into.  Remember we all have the same amount of time it is how we deal with the time we have that matters. Ok, five steps for really effective time management: Identify Time Bandits – Time...

There is a massive difference between training and presenting.  I see many blogs and videos that talk about improving presentations and then speak of training and train the trainer courses.  This is not correct and sends the wrong message regarding their use. When we are presenting, we are delivering a message; it is one-way traffic.  We may use presentations within...

Going into management for the first time can be a very daunting experience, especially if it’s an internal promotion.  Remember, people are often promoted because they are good at their job, not because they are a good manager. There are several things that every new manager needs to focus on that will aid their initial development as a manager.  Four...
