Are you very particular regarding your work environment temperature? I am too, but, in this case, I refer not to the mercurial temperature. I refer to the temperature of the relationship with the people I collaborate with. There are two things in particular that define this temperature. Within these environments, I seek to work with people […]
When we examine work environment types we can be overly simplistic in our requirements. Whilst some individuals obviously need to be working outdoors. Other individuals like my husband, actually need to be office-based because he is so sweet (read that with the appropriate level of sarcasm), I’m sure he might dissolve in the rain. This piece […]
Work Environment Definition: I have always considered the work environment definition to mean that place outside of myself, the place with the desk, the place that I do my work ‘in’. I forget that it is both wider and also smaller in my internal landscape. It’s wider in that we are each a tiny part […]

One of the dis-benefits is that I can still be at the mercy of others agenda. Therefore today’s programme involved the rewrite of Ten, TEN (!) […]
Did you give yourself some return to work credit? It’s so easy to discount the sheer level of adjustment that returning to work requires of us. Having been too unwell to engage in paid employment for a couple of years in my thirties, in my mid-forties I find myself in a polar opposite situation. “My world is […]
During a return to work interview, I made an unexpected discovery about where my fear actually lay regarding this transition. Whilst I had heard others voice their fears about ‘failure’ or ‘letting others down’ or ‘getting it wrong’, I discovered that I was fearful of success!!! That. Sounded. So. Arrogant….. but the words were out […]
