Picture the scene… You’re about to give a make-or-break presentation, the one that could make all the difference when it comes to the promotion you’ve had your eye on. You know all the facts and figures, your slide deck is on point, but as you open your mouth to speak...

We think of birth and a new baby as a happy time, don’t we? We focus on celebrating a baby’s safe arrival, the excitement at welcoming a new life – congratulations cards, gifts – but what about when it doesn’t happen like that? I spent over 20 years working with new...

I’m about to head off on my summer holidays, and although it’s something I’ve talked about before, thought it would be a good time to reiterate how important it is to give yourself time off from work! A new client came to me recently, who dreads August. Every year,...
