A Scot in London...

As I write this post I find myself sitting in my room on a mild summer evening in London, in the Bloomsbury area to be precise. This, of course, is a far cry to where I was about roughly a week ago in my home, in Glasgow preparing to embark on an important journey, one associated with, I hope, gaining...

Taxi To The Runway

On reflection from the Leadership Day, I know that I am in the right place with the Saltire Foundation. I was extremely impressed with the input provided by Pamela, Rebecca & Alasdair about their experiences last summer. I was also impressed with the networking class that was put on. I previously...

International Women's Day Blog: Maternity Leave & Returning to Work

In honour of International Women’s Day and my first week back at work full time following maternity leave, I wanted to share my reflections on being a new mum back at work. During my pregnancy, I scoured the web and asked every working mom I know for advice on managing maternity leave/balancing...

Life after Graduation

From a young age your life is mapped out for you to some extent, in my case primary school, followed by secondary school and then on to university. This in itself creates a safety net and for blocks of my life I knew exactly what I would be doing and who I would be doing it with. I graduated from the...

Saltire Scholarships

I am very envious of Scottish university students. Not only do you have free access to world class universities, but you also have access to amazing opportunities overseas through both the Saltire Foundation and through the Scottish Government's Saltire Scholarships scheme . This to me stands in...

Global Entrepreneurship Week- Celebrating the Mumpreneurs

Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE One of the things that surprised me about becoming a parent is just how much you need to draw upon entrepreneurial skills, such as thinking on your feed to find creative solutions, when taking care of your child. What also has impressed me is how being a...

Be A Failure!

‘It’s ok to fail.………In fact, it’s good to fail!’ After four weeks at Babson College, this statement has been drilled in to us by all of the excellent faculty during their engaging lectures and has certainly resonated with me during my time here. As I reflect...

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 to some, but this level of organisation soothes...

Charmed, I'm sure

So nearly a month down on the 2012 fellowship and I'm loving every minute of it! A week at RBS Business school in Gogarburn set the tone pre-Babson. We enjoyed some due diligence of a lineup of industry pro's and incredibly inspirational global scots that have grown, floated, rescued and sold...

Just start!

Okay, so here goes. Just start! Although I'm no stranger to social media, blogging seems like an alien experience. Maybe it's the fact that its more than 140 characters long and not typed using my thumbs? Sorry it's taken this long to take time to reflect, the first 3 weeks have been nothing...

So the other side of the internship, back in Scotland processing the whole summer, my last blog...

I wanted to write this blog before now, but in a way its worked out that I have more precise thoughts about the summer in Florida now due almost being home for two weeks with time to think. I cannot believe I felt like I had forever in St Petersburg at Jabil, and it was basically over in a blink of an...

Goodnight St Louis.

0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false So this is it- my final work-related blog for the Saltire Foundation. The last few weeks have been insanely busy, and I have absolutely no idea where the last eight weeks have gone. I should apologise for the slight delay in getting this blog uploaded. On Saturday...

Congratulations to the 2012 Saltire Scholars!

Today marks the last day for most of our 2012 Saltire Scholars! It has been incredible to follow their journeys from Manila to Shenzhen to Dubai to Nairobi to Geneva to London to Crieff to Aberdeen to Boston to St Louis to Houston! (Amongst others!) From their blogs, I know our Scholars have been privy...

Livin' on a Prayer

I hear back in Scotland it has rained pretty much every day since I left… Well, I can say the same about Florida! Never did I think the weather in Tampa would ruin outdoor plans. I was wrong. Apparently, making outdoor weather plans in Summer requires the same risk factor as one would imply when...

Saltire Fellowship- Anniversaries and New Beginnings

Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of our 2010-2011 Fellowship graduation. In many ways it feels like just yesterday that we celebrated the achievements of our 10 Fellows at the Lighthouse in Glasgow. It has been a wonderful Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE privilege to watch their...
