Last week I mentioned a public speaking event being run by Triumphant Events, whose talks and workshops I’ve gained a huge amount of both information and inspiration from. Today I thought you’d like to hear about a mini retreat being held in London next week by my friend and mentor Nick Williams, who has helped [...]

In his other role of freelance management and personal development trainer his time is now being taken up with two new projects.

The Workhubs Conference in June was a wonderful day spent listening to people from all over the UK who are committed to providing coworking space for home workers and freelancers, sometimes in difficult financial circumstances. It inspired me to write about the mutual benefits of Jelly and workhubs and you can see the results on [...]

I wrote recently in Unexpected Pleasures about how wonderful it is when something good happens that you haven’t had to work or push for. It’s a salutary reminder that life doesn’t have to be a struggle! I also love it when out of the blue an answer arrives to a question you have been puzzling [...]

I’m pleased to say my advice to myself worked and I was able to get stuck into my new webpage on how to start your own Jelly. It’s now published apart from some pictures I’m waiting for A to put on as we have a glitch with the site that means pictures have to go on the server first…or something.
