  • At the Remote Worker Awards
    Last night I spent the evening at the Remote Worker Awards which was held at The Grand Connaught Rooms in London.  My business writing practice, The Otobos Group, was a finalist in the freelancing category.  I didn’t win, but it was a good event. I met some really interesting people including the CEO of YuuGuu, a [...] Related posts:

  • 6 Reasons To Use Your pm4success Subscription
    The Inside PRINCE2 series continues with this look at pm4success. Exam rooms for APMG exams like PRINCE2 can be daunting. The desks are clear apart from the papers you need.

  • Book review: Business Etiquette
    The Summer of Books 2010 continues with this review of Business Etiquette. This book has a rather long subtitle: 101 Ways to Conduct Business with Charm and Savvy.  I flicked straight to the back to read what Ann Marie Sabath had to say about working with Brits.  I thought it was funny that she advises using [...] Related posts:

  • Book review: Fast Track Networking
    The Summer of Books 2010 continues with this review of Fast Track Networking. Lots of books talk about how to ‘do’ networking, and I’ve written about it in the past.  The thing I liked best about Lucy Rosen’s Fast Track Networking: Turning Conversations Into Contacts book is that it does actually tell you the answers to [...] Related posts:
