I’ve had a few mentors in my life. Some teachers. Some line managers. Some absolute idols of mine. Along the way I learned that we don’t have to meet someone to learn from their experience. I’ve ended up with mentors from blogs, books and film too. One of my role models is an American guy… Continue Reading
Chill Pill
Tonight I’m speaking in Cambridge for something quite different to usual. Its called Pecha Kucha. Apparently it started in corporate Japan. Now its used for global fun. Basically I have 20 slides to present, on any topic, with 20 seconds per slide. Tricky to say the least. I’ve chosen to share my accessible travel adventures…. Continue Reading

It struck me as such a simple, yet such a powerful, way of creating more impact for a community. They can share best practice and overcome problems. Together…. Continue Reading
Every day can’t be great
Every day cant be great! A sobering but true point. Some context for you. I’m currently penning an article about our launch of Access All Areas on DHorizons last week. Nobody died or anything. However it didn’t go as we’d dreamt. Despite some teething problems (explained in the article) and some sadness, we learned a… Continue Reading
It’s not only about you
Do you ever have ideas, but find excuses to not execute on them? Despite launching and collaborating on many World Changing ideas, I’m very guilty of this. Some of the excuses are of course legitimate. People might not need or want it. We might not be ready. Better/shinier things will always come up. The problem… Continue Reading
