Ten Years On


This week has been the tenth anniversary of September the 11th. It will always remain one of those days that sit in your memory bank of what you were doing when it happened. A bit like when Kennedy got shot (I wasn’t born!) or when Elvis died, (I was on holiday in North Wales!).

On September the 11th ten years ago I was leaving a large organisation I had worked in for fifteen years. I was being made redundant and I’d loved the various jobs I’d had over the years. I was sad at leaving, but really sad about the fact that I was leaving behind the team of people and colleagues I had worked with, laughed with and on occasions cried with.

I was apprehensive, unsure and despite having a few ideas, not one hundred percent sure what the future would hold for me.

Wind the clock on 10 years and I’m amazingly celebrating ten years of being in business and ten years of People Potential. I can’t quite believe that!
What were you doing 10 years ago?

What's Your Image Saying About You?

Once upon a time spending time on your image and thinking about clothes was deemed something that only women did and considered a little bit girlie.



In the last ten years the world of image has drastically changed, especially image in the world of work. Life in general has got a lot more casual and so our image and the clothes we wear are also more casual.


Today if you are serious about progressing in your career and do not consider your image an important part of this you are being naïve. Most of my work today on the subject of image is with people who are well on their career path and want to develop that extra edge that a good image projects to others, but also helps them feel better on the inside too.


A good first step to starting to review and think about your image is to take my image audit, it’s free and downloadable from my website here.
