Dear evesdropping family. I am sure you have heard all the media frenzy over Gina Rippon’s http://www1.aston.ac.uk/lhs/staff/az-index/rippong/  assertions that we must ‘challenge neuro-nonsense about women’s brains’ ?

Please add your views too in the comments… Continue reading Gina Rippon’s neuro nonsense message is hindering progress

This is the view from where I am sitting as I write this blog. I wish I could include the sounds as well. It is beautiful, peaceful and healing. What feelings does this image invoke in you? The Summer flew by. I had three teenage daughters at home and they didn’t start filing out of the… Continue reading Fast, Fast ….women leaders STOP!

Contributors include Professor Joe Herbert from Cambridge University who told me about the differences in testosterone levels between men and women and the effect this has on behaviour. Professor Herbert… Continue reading Yo Sushi Founder – tips for success

Wow… I was overwhelmed with feedback from so many people following my request for information re: ‘what works for you’ Thank you. The loudest message was that you are getting  lots out of my blogging and I am very grateful for all the kind comments and support that you sent me. It is nourishing to… Continue reading Be realistic – plan for a miracle
