When it all starts to click together...

It's the end of week 5 and I'm starting to feel a little more organised, my computer is finally in order, calendar synched, course notes typed up and my handouts are all filed (alphabetically by professor of course). This might sound ridiculous...

From Boston to Bellshill

In my career to date I’ve had the pleasure of working at the impressive Jacobean building in the heart of Glasgow’s merchant city. I’ve had the privilege of studying at Babson’s Executive Education Centre. And I’ve enjoyed...

Back in the Burgh!

Wow. It feels like it was just yesterday when I blogged about our first day at Liberty Mutual. Now, in the blink of an eye our time in the U.S. is over and I am back in the Burgh. It was with bittersweet symphony that we packed our things and made for...

Raison d'être vs. personal creativity, and then there is balancing both!

It happened again today… some would refer to it as ‘day dreaming’ as my p1 teacher put it, and some would refer to it as ‘you’re on another planet’! However I like to refer to it as being in ‘the realm of creativity...

Advice is like snow - the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind…

Serendipity

I never thought I’d say this… but I think I’m falling for insurance. I remember the day I first came across insurance. It was a cold Monday morning when I arrived the doorsteps of Liberty Mutual. I was slightly jetlagged and I needed...

New Year, new resolutions and seeking opportunity through jet lag!
