We live in both interesting and confusing times. Right now, I am not sure what the date is, and that has nothing to do with my alcohol consumption, although I have just enjoyed a very nice glass of wine over lunch with some wonderful clients. My confusion, however, stems not from the drink, but from […]

Age is just a number I believe that wholeheartedly! In my head, on an average day, I feel around my mid 20s.  Occasionally I find myself behaving like a teenager (especially when squabbling with my teenage son, not that I’d ever admit it to him!)  At the end of a hard week, I might feel […]

  I often tell people about the day I met a room full of rocket scientists. They had just finished their degree at Queen Mary’s University, and there was a graduation ceremony, only none of the lecturers were able to give the speech.  I was told that they were all far too busy, but I […]

I know that in some circumstances no means no, and we should accept that. However, in other situations, you don’t have to take no for an answer. My children were always good at that. No, you can’t have chocolate for dinner didn’t mean that they couldn’t still have chocolate for dessert if they ate everything […]

It’s what the trainers in my gym are always saying and I know they’re right.  If you stick within your comfort zone, and don’t increase your weights, work harder, sweat more, you will never progress. It’s also true in a legal sense.  For example, if you are in a traffic jam, and the car behind […]

It’s a common complaint. And although it’s often a complaint from my children (how COULD you make me clear up the kitchen, especially when I only made 99% of the mess!), or to waiters (how COULD he fail to see that my glass was empty and not refill it) and about football teams (yup!) On […]

My name is Stephanie, and I’m an addict. It has been 30 seconds since I last checked my phone and already my hand is itching to pick it up and check my messages, send an email, post a blog on LinkedIn, read back through a few WhatsApp messages to make sure I haven’t missed anything […]
