Its been so long since I wrote last that is feels like have been off the horse for years. In truth, it has been a far too long, my last post was in January of this year. I have many reasons why I haven’t written in nearly 3 months, but there’s no value on focusing …
At the end of 2019 I wrote a self-assessment piece around my struggles to really zero in on what I wanted at the time. This one blog is by far my most popular, even 12 months on, it still has the highest hit count. If you want to revisit it, you can do so by …
