Career Change - Making the Big Leap

By David Bonham-Carter

Often people contemplate a change of career with some trepidation, holding fears such as:

Getting Rid of Negative Thoughts

By David Bonham-Carter

Do you ever find yourself using words such as "should" or "must" to describe how you wish you had acted or want to act?

Negative thinking can hold you back from achieving what you want or can lead you to be over self critical or too judgemental about yourself. this article focuses on dealing with negative self critical thoughts.

- Smoking or misuse of alcohol
- Difficulties in relationships where there are repeating patterns
- Lack of assertiveness
- A tendency to procrastinate
- Situations where a person repeatedly jumps to erroneous assumptions or interpretations of events...

Working from Home - What are the Pitfalls?

By David Bonham-Carter

The rapid pace of developments in communications technology in recent decades and changing attitudes about work roles mean that for many the option of working from home instead of in a traditional office environment is suddenly becoming a reality rather than just a dream. Flexibility is perhaps the cornerstone of the approach with research suggesting that some employers are now allowing or encouraging a mixed approach to where and how their staff work, with their employees being given the opportunity to use a combination of office working, home working and remote working to meet the requirements of their job.

This article looks at some of the benefits of working from home then considers some of the pitfalls, particularly where you have a family that may be affected by your working from home...
