Be A Rainbow In Someone Else’s Cloud
‘Be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud’ – Maya Angelou I was having ‘a day’ earlier this week. I’ll be honest, I was in foul form. A couple of restless nights, busy days and a full schedule were taking it’s toll. I was building up to an appraisal session with a client and really not […]
