Some great reading if you’ve a few spare minutes and the interest in Healthcare (disease eradication; research and the impact of genetic modifications) as well as Energy issues (renewable energy and challenges we face).

However the highlight of this article is to hear from two extremely successful philanthropic billionaires that their measure of success is:

“Do the people you care about love you back?”

Highlighting that the ultimate business priority is nothing to do with business.

Happy New Year to all and maybe this will change some priorities/resolutions?

It was great to have been invited to participate as a panel member during the latest PM Society Digital event last month.

It's always good to learn from successful people when given the opportunity.
I think you can safely say Ray Dalio (as the multi-billionaire founder of a business managing $160bn+ of investments) certainly counts.
Is learning from a expert worth half an hour of your time?

Final day at BTOG.
So good to see so many clinician & industry fiends.
It’s been a while since here last but keeps growing and becoming a better and better meeting. The place to be for Lung Cancer learning.
Until next year.. goodbye for now.

Reflecting on & celebrating the final day of work and our great 2017. Looking forward to an even better 2018 ahead!
Such a great year working with so many different clients; friends; companies and brands.. let alone all the fantastic places visited to work from through the year: The US (several times); major European countries/cities; Japan; Dubai; Australia. It’s a small world for global business to be done.
Wishing everyone a great, healthy and prosperous 2018!

Christmas Time - An opportunity for the fortunate to give back and benefit others.
Instead of giving to those who are already fortunate in both health and wealth, we’re giving to those in need of help. Of cures and support.
We’ve been fortunate this year to focus on cancer. On treatments. On cancer patients. On progress towards a cure. For those who need and deserve our help.
This year Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support get our support with donations to each charity instead of client cards/gifts.
They will be able to do more good and be of more use/impact to those who need help at this time and onwards.
THANKS TO ALL THE CLIENTS AND FRIENDS WE’VE WORKED WITH THIS YEAR. We hope you respect and appreciate our decision to support others in your name/honour.
There is no such thing as profit in monetary terms alone. Only in the satisfaction of helping and benefiting others.

Blown away by the incredible science shared by the superb presenters today at the CRUK Lung Cancer Centre Of Excellence meeting here in Manchester.
Well beyond my intellectual understanding capability but some phenomenal research and important discoveries which will inevitably result in fantastic treatments for patients in the future!
