Inspired by Clever
I’ve always been inspired and motivated by interesting, intellectual thoughts, ideas and discoveries. Many years ago I took the Strengthsfinder 2.0 test and discovered that my strengths were: input, intellectual, learner and futuristic. It was spot on. I love learning new things………….

As leaders how do we motivate people when so much of the challenges impacting motivation is out of our hands? Here are some thoughts………….
Career by Portfolio
I’ve heard people refer to careers by portfolio as side hustles. But that makes me think of pick pockets and slight of hand con artists! So I’ll stick with ‘career by portfolio’. And as I type I realise how closely related this is to the idea of expert generalists…. So, bear with me…………………………..
