The making of an Olympic Games Maker Pt 1
Feb 08Last week for me was one of those bonkers weeks that if one was of a nervous or stressful disposition could have quite easily tipped me over the edge. It all started on Wednesday with a trip to head office to discuss with my MD a particularly large and challenging ‘account plan’ for one of my large clients. I then headed off to the accommodation for our upcoming 2 day corporate...
Golden Goals for 2012
