Five Easy Ways to Make Your Website Great

I have a confession to make. When I was a child, I loved to rearrange my room. That doesn’t sound so strange, does it? Believe me, though: this went well beyond just tidying up! Instead, I redesigned the entire layout of my room, including changing the colours and deciding on the placement of all of my favourite things. It used to drive my parents crazy when they’d hear me dragging furniture across the floor and toppling over bookshelves! Now, as an adult, I realise…

The Smiling Mind: Meditation’s Magic for Your Business

Cream

Why traditional forms of networking don’t work

Networking has never really been my thing. And I could never quite figure out why… I mean I LOVE people. I love TALKING to people and hearing their stories.

I was the child in the playground who would walk up to a complete stranger and make friends with them instantly. I’ve never been afraid of talking to…

3 steps to a values-based brand

Cream
I’ve had some wonderful jobs throughout my career and worked for some very motivated and inspiring people. But I've also worked in environments which were the exact opposite of what I believed in. I decided to venture into the world of running my own business for one main reason - My Values, in particular - having a brand with values. I desperately wanted to create my own inspiring environment that I felt aligned with everything I believed in. Have you been there? Have you…
