For a while I was curious about what tools such as Klout and Peerindex could provide. It seemed an interesting way to understand your presence on Social Media. No that’s wrong… That’s what I told myself… In fact I followed the crowd. I wanted to increase my scores. I wanted to become more influential. Those … Continue reading
We like lists don’t we… they help us remember the shopping… they help with gift ideas for Christmas or birthdays… they help remember the things we need to do. Great for the inanimate but it just doesn’t sound like a wholesome place to put a human being does it? Outside of technology platforms, does anyone … Continue reading
Sometimes we put a lot of effort into building a relationship…. Good faith. Positive regard. Active interest. Support. The outstretched hand of friendship. But sometimes it’s one way… Wrong time. Wrong person. Wrong assumptions. And sometimes it’s for the wrong reason… Celebrity. Reciprocity. Self interest. Often we don’t know why the relationship isn’t meeting our … Continue reading

The phone rings and my wife dashes to answer it. I overhear her talking to someone I know is familiar to her but it’s not a friend or relative. I hear her saying “thank you” as the tears and crying come. As I rush to find her in the kitchen she finishes the call and … Continue reading

Current perspective The Telegraph’s story yesterday included a headline saying : “The majority of employers … Continue reading
Do you know what really bugs me? Bloggers who don’t participate in the debate or discussion they started. It’s like they’ve lobbed a pseudo-intellectual blog-bomb into the ether then scurry away to hide in their blog-bunker. Jumping onto the zeitgeist bandwagon the sycophantic plebeians of social media swarm around their blog like it was the … Continue reading
Do you know what drives change? Commitment. Nothing else. It’s the basis for our relationships. It’s how we hold ourselves accountable. It’s how change comes about.
