Nowt so queer as folk…as they say up North!
Well, we’ve all heard that old saying “the ONE thing we human beings have in COMMON is that we are all DIFFERENT” and as they say in Yorkshire…. “There’s nowt so queer as folk” When we consider the whole Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) agenda in its truest, broadest form, then our workplaces and society as a whole, still […]
Happiness is like jam…
There is no shadow of doubt that the glorious weather we’ve been enjoying over recent weeks has definitely lifted our spirits and made us human beings so much happier – in body, mind & spirit . There’s plenty of research out there that proves the sun’s rays are, generally, extremely good for physical and mental health. While […]
The Only PERSON Comfortable with CHANGE is a BABY!
They say that change is inevitable if we wish to experience growth and the only human being totally at ease with change….is a baby I don’t think any of us can doubt that the past year has changed our work (and life) habits in immeasurable ways – many for the better, some for the […]
Are you a giver or a taker?
I was taught from a very young age that “what you give determines what you get” and I also sussed from those early years that, in both business and life, there are those that give and there are those that take. I do believe that what goes around comes around and I also believe in […]
Robin Sharma’s 50 New Rules of Work

A tale of two titans – Part 1
If you’ve never heard of Anthony (Tony) Robbins, then chances are, you’re not going to be overly interested in this week’s FIT Matters. Tony’s story is an extraordinary one – as is the man himself.

A tale of two Titans – Part 2
Just as I said last week about Tony Robbins, if you’ve never heard of Robin Sharma, the other guru I want to talk about today to conclude my Tale of Two Titans, then chances are – you’re not going to be overly interested in this week’s FIT Matters either. Robin’s story is an equally fascinating […]
Emotional Intelligence – the vital ingredient for all ages
In his book Emotional Intelligence, author Daniel Goleman suggested that EQ (Emotional Quotient) might actually be more important than IQ. Howard Gardner, developmental psychologist and creator of the Multiple Intelligences Theory may well agree. Gardner has suggested that INTELLIGENCE is not a single, linear ability. In fact, in his 1983 book ‘Frames of Mind’ he cites […]
You DON’T have to be great to get started
…although you DO have to get started to be great! The New Year hasn’t started quite as we’d planned (and boy have we planned), because while David’s COVID-19 test returned negative yesterday, he does have a rather bizarre viral infection which has left him totally wiped out and so it seems, I shall march boldly […]
