Understanding Delegation
Less than 10 days ago, I was faced with an unusual problem, one of those which they say are good problems to have. I found I’d reached the point in my process of development where I had to choose between the perspective held over from a past life along with the skills honed therein, where […]

Flow
Reflecting on the unseen changes that have been taking place over the past month, the best way I can explain it, even to myself, is to use the analogy of rocks on a river bed (or pebbles in a stream, if you prefer). There’s been a re-alignment that has taken place at a much deeper […]
