So I came across a video that nearly broke my heart. It was an extremely talented mother and son singing to each other the classic from Aladdin ‘ A Whole New World.’ It is so wonderful I had to share it with you. You can tell how close they are and that the young manContinue reading “‘A Whole New World’”

Today’s blog is unapologetically a bit of a Radiohead/Beyonce mash up. It came to me a while back following attending a memorial service for a very dear friend of mine – (Gordon) who had sadly passed. I could not complete it until now a few months on- I was too upset. During Gordon’s memorial service,Continue reading “‘I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo’ versus ‘listen to the song here in my heart’”

Sounds weird doesn’t it? … to say you love people at work. When you listen to the third minute of this video though you will see how natural and believable it can sound. How much did I want to work for Steven Gerrard after seeing this! This interview with Steven Gerrard, Football Manager of AstonContinue reading “All you need is love”

So today is a bit of an experiment. I usually write when I am in a buoyant mood but today I have felt a bit low and thought in the spirit of authenticity, why not write? The ‘mood’ comes after an amazing weekend that was just so peaceful and relaxing where I had really jumpedContinue reading “Who you are (it’s okay not to be okay)”

In the closing stages of the Semi Final match of Euro 2020 against Denmark, England made a whopping 53 passes to each other unlocking their ‘inner Brazil’. I appreciate not everyone is a football fan like me (so I thought post a link to ‘Pass Masters’ Euro 2020: England’s excellent game management as they closeContinue reading “It’s Coming Home (and not just football)”

As I continue on a self- discovery mission, I have taken a moment to think about how much braver I have been recently in terms of reaching out to discover new networks in the human space; speaking out about things that trouble me and also the recent work I have committed to- particularly the lastContinue reading “Shallow (Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga )”

My exploration of humanity continues and I was just sitting looking at my engagement ring this morning (which I rarely wear as I tend to just wear my wedding ring). I have owned it for nearly 10 years and I was watching the light shimmer off the diamonds within it.  I never tire of itContinue reading “Shine bright like a diamond (We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky)”

Let’s get Loud. Let’s get Loud Ain’t nobody gotta tell ya What you gonna do If you wanna live your life Live it all the way and don’t you waste it Every feeling, every beat Jennifer Lopez The best quote i’ve read in recent times in relation to leadership strategy came from Mike Vacanti, FounderContinue reading “Let’s get loud”

By Martin Trotman Hey everyone, I would like to share something with you today. I have an extensive music education background having studied piano and composition at the Birmingham Conservatoire which is essentially a classical institution. Later I went on to lecture and teach at a number of music institutions including South Birmingham College andContinue reading “Chevalier de Saint – Georges”

It has taken me a while to write on the subject of #blacklivesmatter and the tragic death of George Floyd. I am not going to lie – I went through a rollercoaster of emotions and anxiety about what was the ‘right’ thing to say and do. I was appalled for sure- after all I amContinue reading “‘One Love’ (one life)”
