Can You Prove Your Training Is Working?
Somewhere in your organisation right now, someone has approved a budget for management training. Maybe it was you. The programme looks good on paper, the facilitators are credible, and the feedback forms at the end of the sessions will almost certainly come back positive. People tend to enjoy training days. Free lunch, time away from the desk, a speaker who tells them things they half-knew but hadn't articulated.
The Play Advantage: 4 Real Examples of How Leaders Turn New Lenses Into Growth and Success
In the first article, we saw that humans don’t just experience reality through senses, but through stories. Those stories shape everything from money and status to what a conflict “means” at work. They help us function and collaborate, but they also become dangerous when we forget they are stories and start treating them as reality itself.
Play With Reality: From Fixation to New Possibilities
“Human beings are the only species who believe in things that don’t exist.” (Yuval Noah Harari) Did you know that every animal in nature experiences the world in a unique way? Bats “see” the world through sound waves, sharks sense electrical fields, and flies taste the world through their feet (thank god we’re not). Each of them perceives only part of reality, through the senses and filters that nature gave them.
Payroll Compliance in 2026: Three Areas Where Teams Still Get Caught Out
Payroll rarely goes wrong with a bang. It usually slips quietly. A deadline gets missed because approvals come in late. A pay element is added but nobody checks the knock-on effect. Holiday pay is calculated the way it always has been, until one employee queries it and suddenly it becomes a bigger issue.
Sage Payroll in 2026: Why “the system will handle it” is still the fastest route to payroll stress
If you use Sage Payroll, you already have a strong system. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: most payroll mistakes don’t happen because Sage is wrong. They happen because the set-up, the process, and the checks around Sage aren’t tight enough.
Jube Review
Transaction monitoring sits at the heart of modern AML frameworks, yet many firms still treat it as an abstract compliance requirement rather than what it really is: a live, operational system that must work every day. Poor monitoring leads to missed risk, overwhelming false positives, frustrated staff, and serious regulatory exposure.

Pelmo International Review
There are lots of organisations that say they develop leaders and improve communication. Far fewer actually understand how messy, nuanced, and culturally loaded those things are in real workplaces. That is why Pelmo International caught my attention.
CCL Academy Review
The defining strength of CCL Academy is its clear and deliberate focus on financial services. Their work spans the full range of regulated activities including banking, wealth and asset management, brokerage and insurance, with a particularly strong emphasis on compliance and regulatory training. This is specialist territory, and it is treated as such.
The Hidden Costs of Graduates Lacking Professional Business Writing Skills
When students graduate, employers assume they’re ready to communicate clearly in writing, in meetings, and in day‑to‑day professional exchanges. But the reality is that many graduates leave university without the business writing skills they need to thrive. Academic writing has its place, but it doesn’t always prepare students for the fast, practical, audience‑focused writing required in the workplace. And that gap isn’t just inconvenient. It’s expensive — for graduates, for employers, and even for the universities that send them into the workforce.
The Career Boost: Why Professional Business Writing Skills Matter
If there’s one skill that consistently shapes early career success, it’s the ability to write clearly in a professional setting. Universities know this, employers know this, and graduates quickly learn it the moment they step into the workplace. Academic writing still has its place, of course, but employers are drawing a sharper line than ever between scholarly writing and workplace‑ready messaging. Graduates who can bridge that gap walk into their first roles with a real advantage.
