When looking at the Greek and Irish Tragedies over the last couple of weeks and months, one thing that got me thinking is, could this have been prevented? Of course, the thought itself is brimmed with preposterousness. Dodgy accounts in Greece’s case and a banking system that crippled Ireland’s finances are formidable issues, make no mistake. Thos...

The image of the globe-trotting trader, dashing to the next team meeting in London, New York, Frankfurt or Shanghai is easy to imagine. But while the industry is more globalised than ever, the technology to support these on-the-move employees has been slow to catch up, until now.

First thing I tell my seminar attendees is “The chances of anything bad ever happening to you is very slim. So don’t worry about.

I have had a busy summer as having moved to the New York area with my family. Whilst we had to do a lot of preparation with going to the US embassy etc for visas, the move finally became "real" for me when all of the furniture in our house was removed for shipping to the US, and we ended up effectively camping in our own home for a few w...

“Go and tidy your room or you won’t get any dessert!” I droop my shoulders and trudge off upstairs to set about the gargantuan task of bedroom tidying. It’s going to be tough.
