Back in the Game

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...

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

2010 has been a year of extraordinary tales; from the unpredictable drama of the U.K elections, the passing the U.S. bill, ashes from Finland, the chaotic Wiki leaks, to the phenomenal rescue of the miners in Chile, the first World Cup in South Africa...

Going down the rabbit hole

In contrast to my previous blog, I have just finished reading an article in the NY Times, which tells of the plight of the passengers of US Airways Flight 1549. Flight 1549 as I am sure you all will remember, was the plane that ditched into the Hudson...

Life with Liberty

Now in my fifth week with Liberty Mutual, I’m ashamed to say I find the Insurance Business quite interesting. Paul and Ian could tell you, I have amassed quite a collection of Surveys & Annual Reports on my desk, as I try and figure out this...

My salubrious greetings to each and every one of you…..
