Reviewing 2017 & Planning 2018

  Introduction  This won’t be yet another New Year’s Resolution blog post, I’m sure your sick of reading or hearing about them by now.   I don’t like making New Year’s Resolutions, primarily because it often feels like people make them purely to break them! Often people know they need to make a change but don’t really want to, therefore proclaim to everyone that it will be their New Year’s Resolution, so that no-one is surprised – and the individual isn’t disappointed – when they give…

How millennials should future proof their careers

How millennials should future proof their careers

Introduction It often feels that not a day goes by without reading about another scary prediction that robots, artificial intelligence (AI) and other types of intelligent technology are going to rise up in the next few years, taking over our jobs, then our minds and reducing humanity to nothing more than a pet or play thing of super intelligent technology. Whilst this a somewhat tongue in cheek opening line, the headlines and articles – from highly credible sources – aren’t…

Millennials Guide to Gin

Millennials Guide to Gin

  Introduction Gin has become very fashionable in recent years, and millennials have been key in driving this revival. In a similar way that craft beer has massively taken off in the last 3-5 years so has craft gin, in fact the number of gin distilleries in Britain has doubled in just 6 years, from 2010 – 2016. This means two important things: firstly, there are now a lot of so called ‘experts’ who actually know very little and it’s always…
