Practical & Profound Change
by Christian McNeill This morning I attended an excellent business event in Glasgow, The Business Journey. As well as useful presentations – on the theme of maximising the value of the business – there was plenty of time for networking. And I had the usual challenge of explaining what I…

Transformation & Abundance Mentality
One of the areas in which I have had a major transformation in my life is around abundance. Although I was born into a relatively comfortable middle class family, we lived at times as though we were on the bread line. Some practices were pretty green before their time. We saved…

Rethinking Addiction
