At a very young age, my family went through an incredibly traumatic experience. Not understanding the implications of that as a young child, this influenced many negative decisions in my life, leading to self-sabotage. After 30 years of repeating the same pattern, I decided to speak about it and get help during this journey. I realised how powerful the mind is, and that communicati

My grandfather owned a trading store in a small village in Newcastle where he sold a variety of products. I have fond memories of being awakened by Coca-Cola and Albany bread trucks delivering their products. I was about 8 years old and I was already very brand conscious. I can still picture the captivating Mobil Gas advert featuring the red flying horse. I was drawn to that ad, an

I remember the first time I noticed that women get treated a little differently at work. I was six months pregnant and running out of breath to the office. Late, as usual. Visibly pregnant, I asked for a permission slip to park closer to the building. But I was told that I needed a handwritten note from my gynae. Awks, I know. But it was then that I knew that the person who I neede

It was the Wolfsburg Questionnaire that did it. The Wolfsburg Questionnaire is a list of some 150 questions sent by one bank to another on their initiatives to curb money laundering. Technically, it is supposed to reveal just how compliant the financial institution is that you're working for. But that is only one example of our global efforts to stamp out money laundering. The re

She was eight years old, the phone rang. The news broke, so did she. Her idol, her everything, her father - just died. She watched her mom collapse from sheer shock. Overwhelmed by emotions far greater and bigger than her, she stepped outside. Not a tear. She didn't know how to feel, how to cope, and how to articulate. She didn't recognise this pain. That was the day she lost her v

They say once a horse breathes on your soul, your life is changed forever. I don't remember the first time a horse breathed on me, but I do remember the magic and the absolute conviction that something I could not live without. It is something I've been in pursuit of ever since. Monty Roberts famously said, "The horse will tell you" and I have found that grabbing mane and trusting

I remember my grandmother taking me to town with her. We would have lunch together at a posh restaurant called the Grand Café. We would sit by the booth which had the most sun, so it was always warm. We chatted for long, laughed a lot, and she listened with love and great interest. I felt heard, seen, as well as nourished in that time. I've carried that warmth with me throughout m

When I discovered writing and storytelling for the first time, I was around 10 years old when my mom brought out my gran's big old green typewriter. You know the one with those big, heavy, clanky keys that you really had to hammer down hard on? And I remember feeling excited and inspired to create stories. That led me to discovering the word 'processor' when I used to join my mom a

I was in London in 2003, attending a mobile gaming conference. At the time I was working for a new international motorsport championship, and I believed it may be an opportunity to have a mobile racing game. Bearing in mind, this was still during the feature phone era, smartphones were yet to be a thing. I left the conference convinced that content would be vastly consumed over the
