Never Lose the Child Within - Your World of Business.

What you create in your life will either support you or hinder you in what you want to achieve. Like the culture you create and support within your organisation, it can make the Company great or destroy it – everyone has a part to play including you. Why do we lose the child within us when we enter the world of Business?

Have you the right selection panel?

While tutoring a programme yesterday to group of business professional it reminded me of a post I published early in 2010 about being creative in your selection process.

Organisations when they need to recruit employees often select the wrong individuals or panels to conduct the interviews.  If [...]

Doctor, Doctor What do you Prescribe

Doctor, Doctor what do you prescribe

All these pills we must put inside

These pills at night we are ordered to take

Again in the morning when we wake

Some are for our pain and some for our good sight

These pills Doctor will have [...]
