Wow! I’m blown away by people’s generosity. Not only did we reach the target I set for my birthday campaign, we doubled it – meaning instead of 10 people in Rwanda getting access to clean drinking water, now approximately 20 people will. You can see the results over at the Charity: Water site: http://mycharitywater.org/year-of-clarity It’s […]

You know what it’s like – you get up, shuffle reluctantly to work, survive the day on a combination of strong coffee and illicit internet surfing, only to arrive home an exhausted shell of your former self and be faced with a list of tedious but necessary chores. You then go on to complete these […]
This is my third dispatch from the World Domination Summit 2012. These are the themes which hit home for me the most from the event. Read Dispatch #1: Change Your Life, Change the World Read Dispatch #2: Beautiful People Vulnerability WDS2012 was put together with an amazing amount of thoughtfulness and professionalism. It ran like […]
I just got back from an amazing trip to Portland, Oregon, where I attended the second annual World Domination Summit. It’s a provocative name for an event.

A few of the photos I took on a recent trip to Berlin, given the Instagram treatment. I was there for the weekend for a friend’s stag do (or bachelor party). It was great fun, and I loved the city. Despite the recent buyout by Facebook, I still really enjoy Instagram as a way of […]
It’s 3 months since I went freelance, and I’ve been recording a video diary almost every week to document how things are going, which I’ve been sending out to subscribers of the CMC newsletter. However a few weeks ago the videos stopped (as any subscribers will have noticed). I had a lot of great feedback […]
Yesterday I left the civil service after almost exactly 10 years to the day I started. You can read some background to this in one of the previous newsletters. Somewhat spookily, given this was my last day of repeating the same routine over and over again, this happened on Groundhog Day. Another coincidence – on […]
Every New Year’s Eve at midnight we wish each other Happy New Year, but how much do we really do to help make it a happier year than the one before? In the run up to January I’ve already discussed simple goal setting as a way to ensure you don’t drop your New Year’s resolutions […]
