Another week flies by - its almost impossible to remember what happened. One of the things that invoked passion in me this week was the announcement that Alan Sugar was appointed as an advisor about Enterprise. Slap me soundly, I cant believe that anyone could be that shortsighted, he is the same man that wouldnt hire women of childbearing age incase they had a child, he bullies people in the board room and has given the 'company director' such a bad name in my opinion that he deserves to have his knighthood taken away.
I delivered a Leadership programme this week to a group of about 50 women in banking. It was about using tools to help us to plan to succeed. Some of the simplest things that we do can produce the most amazing results. SWOT analysis, Action Planning and remembering to say well done to ourselves. I cant wait to find out how they get on and whether they put these things in to their weekly routines.
There was a great Womens Networking meeting in a church, I went to support a friend who had helped me with LifeWorklife and Hemingway Corp. She had done a fantastic job and had loads of people there. I met someone who helped me with some advice about my fitness training and caught up with some other friends in the process.
Some of my week was having lots of fun with my children playing football - I am so hopeless at football but they really dont care. They were just happy that I had the time to play, and they loved laughing at me missing all the kicks - oh well!
So generally worked my life and work in to a good balance. It could all go to pot tomorrow though as I am running a 20 mile hill race - yikes.
