  • The dos and don’ts of giving constructive feedback

    16 Apr 2019

    Human beings tend to avoid criticism. We don’t like being challenged, even in a constructive manner, and often perceive it as being personal. Our desire to avoid criticism can even lead us to blaming external forces such as bad luck, ‘acts of God’, circumstances beyond our control, and even other people. We seem to do this instead of accepting that we have perhaps made a mistake, or that there may be an alternative, potentially better way of tackling a project.

  • 2019...A year of winners

    16 Apr 2019

    Now, I know this article may seem very cliché…and perhaps it is! ‘New year, new me’, ‘re-discover yourself this 2019’, ‘making and keeping goals this new year’…I’m sure you’ve heard them all, and I’m sure they are coming at you from every direction.

  • So...you want to change the world?

    16 Apr 2019

    I remember being sat in the sixth form common room at school discussing with friends what we wanted to do in the future after we had finished school, graduated Uni and started our ‘real lives.’ We all had different plans and different goals…different roads that we wanted to go down - however there was one thing that we all unanimously agreed on…we all wanted to ‘change the world’ and do our part for humanity.

A lot of CHANGE. We know that change is essential when considering growth, however it can also be intimidating when we are unsure of whether this change is going to help or hurt us.
