I’ll tell you more about my trip tomorrow – for now, it’s 23:46 pm UK time and, although I shouldn’t, I must go to sleep. Toronto is empty on a Sunday evening – and it is bitterly cold with winds up to 45 mph creating a wind-chill that takes the breath away.
…but for only a few hours. A 7-hour drive yesterday was a killer – lots of holiday traffic as the half-term school holiday comes to an end – plus numerous road works and rotten weather made for a pretty exhausting journey. Thank goodness the clocks went back last night – the extra hour in bed

The last night in Birmingham on Wednesday was packed with people and lots of fun – something about the sense of humour in the Midlands has always attracted me. About 50 people in the room and, once again, new friends and potential new clients. I was also delighted to see one of my first ever

I actually found it quite irritating because I use both mind-mapping software and Microsoft OneNote for my e-scribbles and feel as if I have another “to do” over the days ahead, transferring lots of notes across – an unexpected

I’m in Wokingham, at my first ever day in The Strategic Coach programme, 12 years after I first heard Dan Sullivan speak. It’s the first time that this material has been delivered outside of North America – I am part of a ground-breaking experience. So I can hardly complain about dentists who procrastinate before they

Oh yes – it’s Thursday and I’m in Newcastle. Gig fatigue is beginning to cut in this morning – another presentation last night ending at 10.00pm, a drink and a chat in the bar and then bed at midnight. Up with a 6.30am alarm call because I have meetings here this morning before driving to

That’s the phrase just used by my restaurant manager at the Cedar Court Hotel in Huddersfield. You see, I’m sat in the lounge writing emails and it’s 9.00am. I haven’t been through for breakfast yet – and if I don’t go through soon they may have to work a full shift. I arrived and asked
