The book I co-wrote last Autumn is now available for purchase through the Alchemist's Foundation website - see the link below.
It is a combination of people's stories about leadership and development plus a lot of material I wrote about leadership and community, whether in business or in society as a whole. I think you will find it an interesting and thought-provoking read!

The edge has finally jumped in to experiment with social networking through Facebook. I'm not sure what it is all about in terms of business networking - and no one else I have talked with seems to know either!
Anyway it is an experiment; so we'll see......!!!
Visit me and let me know what you think!!!!

Opportunities for learning and education are priceless for all of us - that is what coaching is all about; helping accelerate development and learning. We are privileged here in the West with access to learning and education opportunities. Someone, I forget who, once said “if you think the price of education is high, wait until you see the price of ignorance.” I know some young and old people who choose not to take this opportunity; sad, but that is their choice. There are other parts of the world where young children are desperate for education and are unable, for a variety of reasons, to get it.
My good friend and client, Adeem Younis, has been working hard over the past eighteen months to set up a charity to raise money to develop and support schools to provide orphans and the children of poor families with access to education - access they wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for Adeem and his project. The children live in North-West Pakistan in the Konsh Valley. The project is already supporting 130 children and there are at least another 60 who aren’t able to attend at the moment because of the lack of funds. At present there is just one school, the aim is to provide more in other Districts.
As a country, Pakistan has its challenges, both internally and in the way it is perceived in the world. And it is all too easy for us in the West to get sucked in to the negative views. Well, here’s an opportunity for us to make a positive difference to the young, disenfranchised children in that country. As the penny appeal website (www.pennyappeal.org) says “small change, big difference”. It doesn’t take a lot but any money will go a long, long way.
Penny Appeal is the charity that the edge - coaching & development is supporting this year. You might want to do the same - you have the link, you have the choice to make a positive difference. Enjoy it!
