One of the regular weekly blogs I read can be found at https://www.peoplealchemy.co.uk/blog/ and Paul Matthews has kindly allowed me to use his 50 Essential Tips for Managers and put my version on his tips.

Your Dream Job – The Hedgehog Concept
Throughout my career, I have normally been lucky and enjoyed what I do. I can probably say I am in my dream job at the moment. Are you in your dream job? I am an Associate of Coachilla, who sent me a mailer recently on an important theme and with their permission, I am using […]
How to Retire Happy Wild and Free by Ernie J Zelinski
Before you decide not to read this, because you are decades off retirement, please read the first paragraph at least. I spoke to a young chap networking earlier this month who wasn’t going to take advantage of Auto-Enrolment Pensions as he was trying to get on the housing ladder, so why think of pensions! Start […]
Planning for 2017 and Beyond

Selling and coaching doesn’t go together and people should see the benefits, rather than being sold to, anyway. […]
Testimonial from a client
I have had a portfolio career focusing mainly on coaching, mentoring and coaching supervision for 7 years now and it is truly amazing how the time has flown. As I get slightly older, it has increased the opportunity of spending more time with the family and following other pursuits like coaching youngsters at cricket and […]
Coaching/Mentoring – What do I have to offer?
Coaching in my view is an intelligent conversation where the coach does most of the listening and is incredibly focused on the coachee with a totally unbiased view. Mentoring is normally passing on information from a more experienced person to another. I have very much a coaching style whether I am coaching or mentoring and […]
What is Career Coaching?
I have just spent a couple of days in a rather wet Yorkshire and before I took Jenny our 7 year old Cavalier, out for a walk on the Moors I thought I would jot down my formula for career coaching. I don’t really believe in the A-Z of outplacement. When somebody is made redundant […]
