Hotel Room Adapting

England, bloody 'ell. Being a born and bred sport-mad Englishman has made for a rollercoaster life. We invented sports, y'know. And the like. We are forever playing in every other nation's cup final. Even when not an actual final. The ABE (Anybody But England) trope accompanies me around the globe.

His recent evisceration of those seeking to sow discord

Shy Kids Don't Get Sweets🍭

This is the 'insta bio' life mantra of English golf sensation and photo editor dream cover girl, Charley Hull. I was thinking around something similar for myself as she blew up feeds the other day. Sadly, that story was not related to her terrific prowess. Yet it led me to

Tidy Desk Police Can Make Your Quota Unreachable

Messy desks have been discussed recently in areas way beyond office manager chat groups. Courtesy the recently shoehorned in minority owners of Manchester United Football Club. Regularly atop the table of most valuable teams in all of world sport, it has if not a new broom, then a dust pan

Mixed Message Arts

I got to watch the biggest boxing bout this century. The first for the 'undisputed' World Heavyweight crown since '99. Gypsy King against The Cat. And quite the fight it was. First two rounds to the nippy Ukrainian. Then a row of four, maybe five, to the giant Englishman. From

Coherent Game Model

There's a lot of rot talked of succession planning[1]. I'm not a fan of what passes for the most common misguided efforts in this regard across the corporate world. It misses out on the fundamentals. The underlying mentality and systems that genuinely create sustainable, repeatable, adaptable success. Which are

Painting Pictures With Words Spurs

We're not poets. Nor copywriters. Simply solution salespeople. Yet how many times do we miss a trick of those wordsmiths? I recall long ago touching on the selling punch of the metaphor. Now, through the improbable source of youth footballers, comes a reminder we can motivate our prospects in a

Darts Prodigy Nukes Doubt

Maybe it's because people from my neck o' the woods joke my forebears invented all the best sports. Yet throwing the 'arrers is a past-time known pretty much everywhere. And surprisingly, despite the odd Canadian or Dutch interloper, continues to be dominated at elite level by those sharing my birthplace.

Fire The Disruptives

Whilst having little interest in the travails of The World's Biggest Football Club™, the recent arrival of new part-owners could be quite the ride. The investor's man-on-the-ground being none other than Mr Marginal Gains, cycling supremo and serial minter of Olympic Gold, Sir Dave Brailsford. One aspect of his thinking
