Being Agreeably Disagreeable
The Real Deal: Success for Women in Business
January 12
I’ve had a few situations recently where I had to disagree with clients. As an independent consultant, my disagreement was a little easier to deliver than you might experience.

If Fear Is Holding You Back, Break It into Small Steps
I find when I am bored I eat. Badly. But when I am involved in an exciting new project that really challenges my intellect then I am "All Systems Go" and eating well and healthily just falls into place, my weight stabilises and I look great and feel great.

Here's to a successful new year!
