The Psychology of Taste

I love to learn new things, and recently went to a talk – The Psychology of Taste with Jozef Yousseff and Charles Spence. We eat first with our eyes Josef is interested in the science of the diner and molecular gastronomy. Interested in exploring how presentation impacts on our enjoyment of food and to move […]

The Fascination Assessment – you at your best

This post isn’t about me. It’s about YOU. Branding expert and leading authority on the science of fascination, Sally Hogshead published her new book How the World Sees You on July 1, I had the book on pre-order and I'd already taken the assessment. This assessment differs from e.g. The MBTI as it asks you […]

‘When life gives you lemons, make lemonade’

I’ve had surgery and expected to be back at work tomorrow. But there were complications, my blood count was low and I got a clot in my leg. Eight days after surgery I was rushed back into hospital and I’ve been in for 10 nights. I’m still not discharged but as there aren’t ward rounds […]

I’m so much an expert in taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong, despite other people saying that stuff happens and I can’t anticipate everything. BUT … I want to be able to second […]

The CDI Conference, Orlando 2013

I’m recently back from spending 3 days in America at the Career Directors International (CDI) 13th Global Career Summit. This was a huge commitment, both in terms of cost and time. I had to fly out to Orlando but professional development is important to me and the chance to network with colleagues from another continent […]

Professional development through literature

Professional development is much more than going on a course, and I’m always looking out for ways to help my clients.     I’ve spent much of the past 10 days at Cheltenham Literature Festival, both volunteering and attending sessions. Many of the speakers had books to promote. Some such as Oliver James and Office […]
