Happy Salutations
In thinking about positive language, which I blogged about yesterday, it reminded me about my surprise at email salutations here in London. In Wales, where I’ve worked for most of my career, emails tend to be signed off ‘thanks’, ‘thank you’ and variations on the...
Hope Springs Eternal
With sunshine comes a glimmer of hope. The days are getting longer too. Come rain or snow, we’ve had a peek at the positivity of spring and it’ll keep us striving on for a few weeks more. How can you translate this feeling of hope in to an organisation, along with...
Laugh Out Loud

Sometimes you need a hug
Today I spoke to someone on the phone that I haven’t spoken to for a very long time. They’ve had it pretty awful over the last few months and haven’t been around much. I had an overwhelming desire to offer them a hug!! Now, I’m not much of a hugger. Hello hugs and...
