Sometimes it’s hard to recruit

20 October, 2011
By

You wouldn’t think it, in this day and age would you? But it can be hard to recruit.  At least it can be hard to recruit the right person.  And let’s face it, recruiting the wrong person to a small team like ours in EB is a disastrous situation. They’ll upset the rest of...

Induction is just as important as recruitment

13 October, 2011
By

If you are recruiting correctly you will be giving it the time it deserves. Unlike my mate who runs a restaurant in Edinburgh.  Well, I say restaurant; café is a more accurate description. He’s always hiring because people keep leaving – it’s a real issue to him. His problem is that he doesn’t make...

Hotels for Sad People

6 October, 2011
By

I thought it was interesting that the hotel I’m staying in caters specifically for sad people. Unfortunately it would seem that I fall into that category… a sad person. You see, I finished my day’s work and got back to where I was staying to carry on with the rest of my work.  At...

Personality clash

29 September, 2011
By

We’ve all used the phrase: ‘We had a personality clash’. But, I’m sorry, personalities don’t clash.  Things clash – boats clash when they get too close.  Colours clash (if you don’t believe me you should see my husband’s red shirt and purple jumper), sometimes heads clash when rugby is being played. But personalities don’t clash....

Rampant Feminism

22 September, 2011
By

Last week my husband, who is a man, wrote (rather prophetically as it turned out) about the difference between men and women and how those differences should be celebrated. It was prophetic because the very same day I went to a women only networking group in order to promote my business, gain referrals and...

The psychology of being on time

15 September, 2011
By

Unfortunately I’m old enough to remember a time when I didn’t own a mobile ‘phone… Although I have to admit I can’t quite remember how I coped or how I ever managed to meet anyone. I can still remember my first mobile, which I got when I was working for one of Britain’s most...

My sick husband

7 September, 2011
By

My husband is probably about the healthiest person I know (apart from me) in that he’s had, maybe, 4 days off work sick in 25 years… the last day off being in 1999. But this week, horror of horrors, he got a bug and couldn’t go into our office on Thursday. No big deal,...

Big Balls

29 August, 2011
By

Ah, now, I know what you’re thinking, and it’s not that at all! In fact, it’s about Peter in our office and what he said to me (and it’s still not what you’re thinking.)  (Although it may be true… I have no way of knowing… and never want to know!) Back to the story....

You ginger git

24 August, 2011
By

Anger and haste hinder good counsel. So says quote 40,600 of my i-phone app – 55,000 quotes. I didn’t read through 40,599 quotes to get there and it’s not as though I have 14,400 still to go; there is a search function.  And I was searching the keyword: Haste. Why? Well, a couple of...

My Mate Mark Barnes

16 August, 2011
By

Hello EB… it’s me, Richard, writing on behalf of Renee this week, who’s on hols! And because she’s left no instructions about what I should cover I thought I would indulge myself, by remembering one of my best friends in business: Mark Barnes. Now, let me start by saying that Mark was one of...
