Conducting a premortem on yourself
OK. So, the idea of conducting a premortem on yourself sounds incredibly depressing – but – if you think about it, it makes sense… sort of. I came across the idea early in the year when the majority of news articles were about making New Years Resolutions. The Wall Street…

Runes, ravens and self-reflection
I try to read as many blogs as I can. Some weeks are a bit of a wash out (I’m too sick, or too busy, or too busy because I’ve been too sick for too long). Other weeks, however, I can cover a lot of distance, and I love every…
