HAVE you ever been really proud of something, only to have someone do their level best to dull your shine? “Oh, there’s no credibility in delivering a TEDx talk.” “You’ve written a book? Well, anyone can do that nowadays – there’s no credibility in that.” “You got the gig? Good for you. Doesn’t add to […]
READY TO ROCK 2019?
LIFE isn’t always fair or easy, but it can be a damn sight easier than we allow it to be. The fairness? We can’t do anything about that – nobody hands us some special guarantee, signed in rainbows at the point of birth, promising us that life will be fair – but – it’s still […]
