Happy December! It’s a great time of year as celebrations vary from country to country. Aide de MD has grown globally and so has our understanding of different cultures and festivals. In a workshop last week, I learned that some countries take one day off over Christmas, whereas others consider this their annual break.
Being able to recognise the good and the bad times is a key component of running a successful business. Lead by example and don’t get caught up in the tough times. However, it is harder to do this when your head is full with all the things you could improve.

Nomophobia is one of the latest words to be added to the Oxford English Dictionary. Nomophobia : Anxiety about not having access to a mobile phone or mobile phone services. Most people have felt it, but what is it and how do you deal with it?
We’ve been running many of our workshops over the last few months. The titles and content of these workshops are a result of conversations I have with the leaders of the business.
