manifesto monday
“Markets are conversations.” Well, we all should know that by now and should be putting it in place in all our work. But this statement originated in 1999. Way back when dial up tones were the norm.

Having a child is a momentous occasion in itself and made me realise that I want to work closer to home but still have an exciting, challenging career.
