Choosing Your Destination

Choosing your Destination.   Once a colleague and I were traveling back from a meeting in the Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal. I was driving and, after pulling over to take a call, I took the wrong onramp to the highway. My colleague and I had been chatting away for about an hour when we suddenly realised…

The Art of Coping with Extreme Busyness

Every so often we are faced with an avalanche of busyness that is unavoidable and just has to be overcome. Very recently I was directly involved in the leadership and running of four separate and unassociated events (three marketplace, one church) all within a 48 hour period. Fortunately there was much prior planning for each of…
