Wanted: Guest Writers With Something Different To Say About Worklife

It’s one of the things I love best in life. Honest to God conversations about whatever. But particularly around things in which there’s a passionate shared interest. Such a great way to build connections and real from-the-heart relationships. And I love too how social media makes it possible for conversations to happen in real and…

Making Work Fit Life In A Social Media World

Back from cyber break. I should have hung an “out to lunch” post on the blog before closing my Mac down before Easter – that would have let you know not to expect to see me for a while. But in the run up to my self-imposed cut-off time, the words didn’t get written. Instead…

How A Year In The Country Has Revolutionized My Work Life

Can you believe that a year ago this week I was loading a van with all my stuff and heading from my much loved house in Wimbledon, to a cottage in the Buckinghamshire countryside? (Well, technically, I wasn’t loading the van, but you get the picture.) The whole purpose was to allow me to create…

A Review Of A Different Kind Of Work – The #7 Links Challenge

Ben Lumley across at 6aliens drew my attention to the 7 Links Challenge that’s sweeping the blog world right now, thanks to Problogger. The main aim of doing this challenge is to create a list post that highlights some of the posts in your archives to new readers (a sneeze page), that links out to…

A Month of Birthdays

Believe it or not, this blog is a year old this month. And it was my birthday yesterday. As you read this, I’m easing back for a few days, basking in my gratitude for this last amazing year. Join me in a slice of virtual birthday cake and indulge me as I share with you…

What I Learned From My Broadband Blackout

I had the realisation this week that I’d started to see reliable high speed broadband as a basic human need. It came in the midst of a 72 hour period during which I had none. I didn’t vote for Mr Cameron, but I was pretty happy to see on Channel 4 news that his government…

Building A Blog Or Building A Business?

That’s been the question on my mind as I’ve done my April blog review. As regular readers know, I have a process for reviewing my blog that is now becoming pretty well established. I share the results of it because, not only am I passionate about helping others navigate career and life change for themselves,…

A Different Kind of Blog Review: March 2010

Believe it or not, another month has passed since I posted my first blog review results. Which means that I recently skipped down to my local Costa again and spent a morning with a latte or two analysing things. Based on some of the feedback I got both on- and off-line last time around, I…

How am I doing?

So, last week I took myself off to do a review of my blog business. Any excuse for another trip to Costa, right?! As you might remember from my Upping the ante in 2010 post, I’ve set myself some pretty ambitious targets and I thought I’d share with you how things are going. Posts One…

Health warning: blogging can seriously change your career

It was just an experiment at first. I had no intention of becoming hooked. All I can tell you is that, after a while, something else took over. My first introduction to blogging was by accident. I was doing some online research for a coaching skills course I was running and stumbled upon Mark McGuinness’s…
