Some decisions are just not easy, we are uncomfortable, we procrastinate and all too often, events take us over. When you feel like this you have to stand back, take a deep breath and look at the bigger picture.
Dilemmas are often the cause of this condition, but they can be managed if you become much better at anticipating events and adjusting things so that you have space.
I use a technique called decision rout...
‘In what way does your industry let its clients down?’.
This was a question raised in a Facebook group I follow this week and it struck a chord with me as it is a topic I feel passionately about. I jumped on board with a 4 minute Facebook-live video and decided I still wanted to explore a little bit further.
As an accountant with my own practice I have many conversations with clients about the role ...
Companies House has launched a consultation on a number of proposed measures which will bring about major changes as it hasn’t happened since 1844, when the body started registering companies.
The main focus being on what information will have to be filed and the role of Companies House itself in the near future, I took active part in the consultation and responded with my opinion, as I personally welcome mo...

When you have a new website, it can be rather overwhelming can’t it? Where do you start, how does it get updated, what bits shouldn’t you touch? It’s easy to become overloaded and to end up doing nothing — believe us, we see lots of websites which, once delivered, never get touched again.
All this is a terrible shame, so let’s see how to make your website more attractive to Google, br...
We are born with a set of basic relational needs – acceptance, affection, security, attention, appreciation, approval, encouragement, respect and support.When one or more of these needs are missing in childhood, the child learns to adapt their behaviour in an attempt to feel accepted and loved.
Example 1 –a child that feels they are only loved if they perform and achieve to meet parents’ high expec...
We're all guilty of it from time to time.
Whether it’s a pair of trainers (like my trusty blue adidias gazelles), an old pair of jeans, or even a relationship that’s not what it used to be, we all hold on to things longer than we should.
It’s the same with computer software too ... only holding on to that for too long can have consequences.

What is company secretarial, first of all?
Right, this is perhaps where I should start from, given the confusion revolving around it.
Company secretarial, or cosec in short, covers the many legal/administrative matters of a company, starting from correctly keeping its statutory registers (register of members, of people with significant control, directors, etc...), to drafting the minutes of meetings, to the com...
Can I be a Perfect Perfectionist?
I am coaching an increasing number of the “millennial” generation, as they start to make their way up the corporate ladder, or as their start-up begins to grow and flourish. I am often confronted by a variation on the assertion that: “Well, the trouble is, I’m a bit of a perfectionist, and it is making me anxious and unhappy”.
Often the statement is ...
World Mental Health Day is on 10th October 2018. This day is used to help raise mental health awareness and to show support for those suffering from mental health illness.
The HSE highlighted that one in four people within the UK will suffer from mental health illness at some points in their lives, which means that most employers will have an employee suffering from such an illness at some time. The illness could be...
Currently, workers do not have a legal right to any time off if they suffer the loss of a child. Therefore, campaigns were started approximately eight years ago to change the legislation and provide the parents with an opportunity to take time off should such a devastating event occur. The campaigning has finally been successful and on 13th September 2018 the new Parental Leave and Pay Bill received royal assent, wit...

Unpredictable British weather and demanding jobs are just two reasons why we spend very little time outdoors. In a recent survey, it was identified that the average Brit spends 92% of their time indoors. As an interior designer, I am fully aware of the impact that our living and working environments can have on our psychological and physical health.
Urban migration, high rise living and long working hours have left ...

How often have I met another web design company and actually found that they cover such a different market or do something so completely different that the two companies are not actually in competition at all!
What amazes me more is that other designers/developers instantly see other similar companies as competition and just refuse to talk. Without a little dialog there will never be a way to see if there is a pos...

It was used extensively because it's a low cost, waterproof, UV and abrasion resistant, strong, durable and easy to clean materia...

Every week we see more stories of jobs being lost to automation. Some make national and international news, others don’t get so much attention. But it’s becoming clear that the process that went into overdrive with the industrial revolution is speeding up again, and the fear is that this time it might not see new jobs created as fast as others became obsolete.
How did we get to now?We’ve long made pe...
Whatever our new year’s resolutions, we are proud when we realize them and our self-esteem gets a real boost.
Unfortunately, there are many goals which do not get further than the idea and don't last longer than March - at the latest - when we will have given up on investing time and effort into our new year's resolutions. There are numerous reasons for our plans’ failing, ranging from not setting the ri...
