Just yesterday China’s top hope for an Olympic Gold Track medal, Xiang LIU, unfortunately had to withdraw from his 110 meters Hurdles race because of injury.
It’s always sad when an athlete is unable to perform because of something beyond their control.
Especially so when there is a once in a lifetime opportunity to do so at […]
I reckon there’s nothing worse than pretending to be unafraid of roller coasters - when inside I’m a trembling jelly of terror.
A few years ago my daughter (maybe 9 at the time) asked me to go ride the coaster in a Japanese theme park.

Since Google is well known for being a great place to work and following on from Tuesday’s post on Google TechTalks Coaching , below is my current list of questions about coaching and mentoring within the Big ‘G’.
To get the creative juices flowing I used my trusty copy of MindGenius and generated a simple outline […]
29 minutes into this Google TechTalks Coaching video and the presenter, Michael Beasley, asks:
“How do you get clear about your Google dream?“
