Have you ever interacted with a customer or sat at your desk and thought “What am I doing?”? It’s happened to all of us at some point. You’ve got the feeling that, perhaps, you’ve backed the wrong horse. You’ve stayed in a job too long, or you’ve picked a career path that, at one point, […]
In the right circumstances, and with exciting places to go, travelling is one of the most exciting things you can do. The idea of leaving it all behind and setting off on a journey to somewhere new is one that keeps us all going through long days at work, winter nights and maybe even months […]
