I was just thinking about…
I recently used the phrase "the game of life" in a conversation with my 14-year old son. "How do you win?" What a question! I was certainly not ready for that. It did get me thinking. Is life really a game? And if so, how do you win this game? Importantly, how do you know... Continue Reading →
This is what Bran The Broken says to Jon Snow in the last episode of the Game of Thrones series. Jon is apologising for not being there when Bran needed him the most. Yes!

I just came off doing some work with a group of very intelligent, driven and generous individuals. What a fantastic 4-weeks (or was it 3 or 5 - who's counting when you are being challenged)! When you work with a great bunch of people, you come to appreciate the empowerment the collective can bring to... Continue Reading →
