Been a while

Hi everyone,

Its been a long time since I last posted. I think its truly indicative of the slow bust steady improvement in the work environment.

Its amazing but I am now mor than two thirds of the way through the original contract that I started in July. Much of the original scope will be fully delivered within the next two weeks. There seems to be an appetite for me to remain, however the feeling from me is that there is much more to be done and frankly not sufficient understanding of the scale.

I have seen some serious networking over the last few weeks. I have re-contacted two colleagues from many years ago and seen real hope and reminders formed in meeting some of the people who shaped the man and the manager I am now.

A good friend and colleague reminded me yesterday that "if you are unhappy with something or somewhere that you are, make a change" We all have the power and ability to make our lot better. Some of us choose to take it.

I have been speaking to four different organisations about possible interim or consulting opportunities. In both the public and private sector. The indicators are there that the economy is gaining confidence. I have also been approached about a couple of permanent roles. I have to say they are not without temptations.

The football season is back (albeit the reds have not started well) The cold mornings and dark nights are almost upon us. The summer may have been tough but I feel the festive season when its arrives may be better this time around... lets hope so
