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)”

I hear you cry-  but I have been writing a research paper recently and suddenly a lot of things are making much moreContinue reading “Freedom (I won’t let you down)”

The ‘Who am I?’ series is all about trust, because I believe it’s not one-sided and building a resilient team at work is as much about how we treat others as it is about how we behave ourselves: the old proverb, ‘treat others how you’d like to be treated’ springs to mind. This sounds commonContinue reading “‘Walk on, Walk on’ (You’ll never walk alone)”

The current lockdown has taken me back to the 1990’s I can’t remember which year, (1997 maybe?). I’d be about 20, I was at university and I had discovered the clubbing scene.  It was a place that time had forgotten, until the birth of virtual parties online satisfying the extroversion I thrive on here inContinue reading “People hold on (don’t do yourself wrong)”

I was midway through my ‘What am I? series when COVID19 began to really affect the UK and it has taken me a while to find the words to say to this crisis we are facing. I feel so terribly sad for the people who have lost loved ones; lost jobs; struggling to get workContinue reading “Some say, ‘love (it is a river)’”
