One little word that changes everything
As the year comes to a close, I’m sensing that many people are just about crawling over the finish line of 2020! After a year of such uncertainty and upheaval, I think you can probably agree, that this holiday season requires a well-deserved and much needed break …...

Burnout and the ‘always on’ culture
Last week I started a conversation on burnout, looking at what causes/contributes to the, now recognised medical condition. This week we’re looking more closely at why and how the real-life working challenges of current times (re lockdown and working from home)...
What causes burnout?

A life-changing antidote to stress
It is said that: "A (wo)man without a vision for his/her future will always return to the past". This is a quote that I often bear in mind and I truly believe that having a vision in life is a major antidote to stress and depression. It makes sense...
