Travel...Mind Broadening & Fresh Perspectives



I feel as if I have had a whirlwind tour of the UK in the last few weeks, I seem to have been travelling the length and breadth of the country with a final culmination of a visit to Belfast at the end of last week.




What an amazing place that is, the architecture, the people, and the location itself. Although I extended my stay it would have been nice to have had even more time to look round, especially as it was Belfast Fashion Week while I was there!



I love working, and the nature of the work I do means I meet so many different interesting people. I’ve worked with a Property Lawyer, Yoga Teacher, Care Worker, Accountant, Project Manager, Tax Expert, Charity Worker, Relationship Manager, Scientist, and Image Consultants to name just a few!



So I’ve had a fantastic time, yet it was an absolute sheer delight to get back home and just potter around. Whilst I was glad of the break away I find that coming back, even after a few days allows you to view things in different light. Even the house looked different.



My thoughts were echoed by a client I spoke to this morning, she had been debating on breaking her job search up by taking four days away. She was unsure if it was the right thing to do especially as she had several interviews pending. When we spoke today she confirmed it was the best thing she could have done and how the absence away and the distance from reality had really helped her reflect and gain a perspective she doesn’t think she would have got had she stayed here.



So where to next I wonder?
