I recently had a stand next to Pulse creative marketing. I can’t claim to be best buddies, but we get on – nice folk! And as you’d expect, their stand was engaging and classy. And […]
How am I not at my best? The question, of course, is how to make a good presentation even if you’re not up for it. We’ve all had to handle injuries or illness at some […]
Another video log from me this week! A bit of a rant at the start ;)

(Bit of a ranty post, this one!) I have a small patch. That’s not a sexual euphormism – I’m talking vegetables here! It’s not the best little veg patch in the world, but it’s mine. […]
