14 January 2010

I recorded it the other night, it was a one year on thing after he became president (I don’t know where this year has gone though…!) What an amazing, inspiring and emotional roller coaster ride of a journey. The [...]

Business is fundamentally human not flawed

13 January 2010

When did you stop being a customer?

6 November 2009

When you go to work do you conciously think, ‘right, I’m at work now. I’m a professional. I’m not going to think about that great Paul Smith suit I saw at the weekend; or those amazing black shoes or wonder if there will be any tickets left for the X Factor Live Show Final!’ Of [...]
