It seems counter intuitive to me that at a time where speed is of the essence, so many people within organisations are increasingly slow to make decisions.
Am I being extremely unfair given the tough economic conditions that we are currently experiencing? Is it simply fear that is driving caution, and inactivity? Possibly! However, the issue is less about what is happening, and much more about how we choose to act as a result of the causation.
Opportunityisnowhere – You’ve probably seen this before, so apologies if you have… What do you see, when you look at the words joined together at the start of this sentence….honestly – Did you see Opportunity is nowhere or did you see Opportunity is now here?
If you are frozen by fear, you probably should be shaking yourself out of it and making a decision to move forwards boldly and with audacity, because the spoils are to the bold and brave who dare to succeed and move with velocity whilst their competition are inactive worrying what to do next. When they do make a decision, you could have made significant ground. Go on be AUDACIOUS, and you will be glad you did.

I have been around a while and seen some stuff for sure. I have experienced some good, some bad, and some indifferent. Some have been downright fabulous.
I am still hugely motivated to get up every day and be curious. I love tech and business, and most of all dogs, oh and people are ok too ;-)
Having been in sales most of my working life, I have a real interest in the art and science and am a committed lifelong learner - constantly frustrating my kids with my stock phrase "every day is a school day"
Personally, I’m a husband to one, and father to five amazing children (none of them is now a child, but independent adults) and my golden lab, Archie, who is always pleased to see me. (edit - We said goodbye to my boy in Feb 2025, and in July 2025 we welcomed rescue "Cally" into our home and hearts - a 4 YO boxer/staffy cross, and a really sweet girl
I was blessed with becoming a Granddad in February 2021 (a very proud and somewhat besotted one) and another grandson arrived in October 2022 to keep their parents busy and for me to spoil. My second eldest then added a third to the mix, in 2026, so now a granddad to 3 fabulous boys x
I am also a mad keen lover of the oval ball game and a lifelong supporter of Leicester Tigers. As an Englishman, that's therefore England at a national level and the British and Irish Lions.
If I can be of service in any way, including any area of developing a channel sales and support business or ecosystem partnerships, and or sales coaching or development, you can find me at the link below, and contact me via the form also.
One of my favourite "quotes" is
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, with a beer in one hand, shouting "Whoo, what a ride!!"
