I was having a conversation today about the whole ‘how to make partner and still have a life’ proposition. In the conversation we explored our reactions to an e-mail I had received from one of my network, which contained the damning and immensely sad lines: I don’t think my firm would approve of me wanting…
In yesterday’s post we looked at ways to identify if you are lacking in career ambition. In today’s post we look at the many reasons why you may have lost your career ambition: 1. Bored 2. Don’t trust your firm 3. Don’t trust your partner 4. Don’t trust your mentor 5. Don’t trust your counseling/line/staff/appraising…
I’d had 3 hours sleep. An energy-sapping day networking at a conference loomed large in my consciousness. I was fairly confident that I would be fine and get through the day. How did I know that? The benefits of having two young children have taught me that adrenaline will get me through these tough situations…
Today my son was man of the match at his football tournament. I was absolutely gutted. I’d missed his moment of glory whilst I spent time working away at a conference in Lisbon. By the time I fly in, he will be asleep and all I want to do is give him a big cuddle…

Dinah, in her article, examines really well the reasons why we say it. In this…
I looked at the clock… 01:00. Damn, I knew I had to wake up in 4 hours time, and despite my best efforts I’d not managed to fall asleep since going to bed 3 hours ago. My body was tired, I was yawning but my brain seems to be wired and despite my best efforts…
I thought my presentation was going OK, then 1 person killed it at the end. How you can learn from my experience Do some people put you off? Have you ever had to give a presentation and been afraid, or thought that it wasn’t quite hitting the mark? I have found out that it isn’t…
Continued from yesterday: 5. Don’t solve their problems before they buy This one sounds strange, because surely we should be proving our worth before our clients buy? So, helping them to take action and commit to working with us. Actually no, very often if we solve our potential client’s problems before they commit to working…
If someone could wave a magic wand, one of my three wishes would be that potential clients would turn up cheque book in hand asking me where to sign and when to start. I’d then have to spend less time wooing them and helping them through the process of getting to the all important signing…
