Thoughts from Abroad!

I am being driven at high speed across the Saudi Arabian desert in the pitch dark, not a light to be seen on the horizon as we make for the airport.  Drivers here take no prisoners so hanging on in there as we cut corners at high speed as the road veers from right to left cutting a swathe across the flat and arid landscape of the desert.  We are passing the oil fields that gave wealth to this country and the stars are spectacular in the inky night sky. I have just finished running a motivational workshop inspiring employees to reach their full potential in life and its very rewarding to see their enthusiasm and sense of purpose. Next stop Dubai!

Steve Jobs – a role model for entrepreneurs everywhere

It is a great loss to us all when such a fantastic global entrepreneur dies.  Steve Jobs displayed great vision and determination to succeed which is a role model for us all. As the world goes through  major upheaval and change we need even more entrepreneurs to come forward and create a lasting legacy.

Hello world!

Welcome to my blog.  I am an international trainer, coach and public speaker who champions the training and development of office professionals  globally.  My experience as a global trainer has identified the hidden talent of this sector of the workforce and how vital they are to the growth of an organisation.  I have conducted workshops in Manila, Bangkok, Jakarta, Sydney, Melbourne, Mauritius, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Shanghai, Dubai, Ireland, Spain and the UK.  We develop their skills in management and communication and encourage them to take charge of their careers and upskill.

Recent research we conducted in conjunction with Kingston University Business School has identified that office professionals – Personal Assistants, Executive Personal Assistants, Administrator and Secretaries are the forgotten sector of the workforce.  They have a crucial role to play in upskilling of the UK workforce and globally too.  Who is going to give them the recognition they deserve? – our website is at www.globalpanetwork.com.  You can register for free and join our campaign.
