I have been mentoring individuals who I have met through my blog for a couple of years. Initially, I provided Ify some free mentoring as an experiment and have progressed to providing a paid service for a few individuals who have approached me.
I have also helped Doug Goldberg with an online study group.
As you may [...]

Soe of you will recall that I posted a month ago on my marathon (and then some!) charity walking challenge.
My challenge is to walk part of Hadrian’s Way in a single day which will be 50 miles in one day.
Time has passed quickly and I will be up and walking by 7:30am this [...]

After being interviewed by Laura as a contributor to her book, I thought I should turn the tables and ask her about her new book!
Don’t forget, the early bird discount ends in two days time. If you’re thinking about buying the book, click here to get it now for $40. After Friday, it will return [...]

I have finished reviewing Laura’s eBook(s) (there are three parts) and I am very impressed. It’s a major undertaking that satisfies a very clear need.

Fortunately, Laura Brandenburg has been working hard on answering this [...]

I wanted to let you know about something that is of great interest to anyone who works with colleagues in different countries and time zones and struggles with the challenges that builds.
Penny Pullan has pulled together an amazing virtual working summit (series of teleseminars to you and me!) that tackles the different challenges you face [...]

I’ve been training for a charity walk recently and wanted to let you know about it for obvious reasons
It’s all in aid of the school that my seven year old daughter Olivia’s classmate Jaspar attends. They are great friends and as far as they are all concerned, Jaspar is just another student in [...]

I’m writing this post to share my recent good news.
I’ve recently accepted the post of president of the UK Chapter of the IIBA.
If I’m honest, I was reluctant as I am feeling stretched rather thin whilst I hold down a job, deliver online training and try to squeeze in time with my wife and daughter.
However, [...]

The launch event of the IIBA Midlands chapter was held on Monday, 10th May.
It was a great success with a big turnout from the local BA community, an impressive venue (provided by Capital One) with excellent food kindly supplied by Capital One.
Penny Pullan facilitated a lively discussion on career development for BA’s and has captured [...]
