    How many leads did you get this week?

    We spend a lot of money trying to get people to contact us. We advertise on Meta and Google, invest in SEO, build websites, create landing pages, write content and run campaigns. Then we track impressions, clicks, conversions and cost per lead to work out whether all that money is doing its job. But how many actual…

    Who killed the influencer?

    There was a time when being influenced felt almost accidental. Your neighbour mentioned a moisturiser that actually worked. A friend told you the restaurant was worth the drive. Someone at work had tried the new thing and reckoned it was brilliant. You might have read a review, asked around or simply noticed what people you trusted were using.…

    You’ve gotta want it, Timmy

    Business owners can become so busy running today’s business that they leave no time to build what comes next. The problem is not simply having too much to do. It is what happens when constant busyness stops you making deliberate decisions about where the business needs to go. Ask almost anyone how work is going and you’ll hear some…

    Unblinkered Thinking: How to Get Past the Usual Answer

    If we always do what we’ve always done, we’ll probably get exactly what we’ve always got. Which is fine, if what we’ve always got is still working.  But when the same people sit in the same room, ask the same questions and protect the same assumptions, the answer is usually not new. It is just familiar. And this is where things start…

    Don’t let the robot mark its own homework

    AI is a brilliant assistant. Yep, I’ve said it out loud and proud. We use it every day. It can help you get past the blank page. It can turn a half-formed thought into something you can actually work with. It can build a quick proof of concept, draft a structure, summarise a long document,…

  • Illustration of a woman carrying a cake while kicking a spinning globe, symbolising the challenge of adapting to change and moving forward despite uncertainty.

    Doing things differently is harder than it sounds

    Everywhere you look, people seem to be reaching for something that feels safer. Trad wife content. Slow living. Regional moves. Homemaking as identity. Off-grid dreaming. A sudden collective urge to grow tomatoes, make soup and pretend the internet cannot find us. Whether you love it, hate it or scroll past with one eyebrow raised, there is something…

  • Illustration showing the difference between completing training and confidently applying skills in real work situations.

    The missing middle between training and performance

    Most organisations have accepted that training matters. Good. About time. The next hurdle is whether that training is actually changing what people can do. Because that’s a gap that shows up in a lot of workplaces. It sits quietly between the training report and the real world. On one side, the LMS says everyone has completed the module. On the other, managers…

    Why Campaign Planning Matters: Email Is Not a Panic Button

    Email marketing works best when it feels calm, useful and reliable. Not random. Not rushed. Not “quick, we need to send something because sales are soft this week”. Campaign planning matters because email is one of the few places where your brand gets invited into someone’s personal space. Their inbox is not a billboard. It is not a dumping ground for…
