The usefulness of your Financial Forecast very much depends on how regularly you adjust the forecast figures against actual figures AND then amend your Financial Forecast accordingly.

To Buy, or Not to Buy? The Skills of Negotiating

Negotiation is used in all walks of life from getting a good deal on your new car, threatening to leave your current TV provider if they don’t offer you a cheaper package and sometimes in my case where we are going out for dinner on a Saturday evening. It’s not just used in business and the theory behind negotiation is the same, it’s a give and take process between two or more parties (it would be pretty pointless negotiating with yourself) where compromise is made, and a mutual agreement is reached. A good negotiator doesn’t want to leave the other party feeling defeated as this could result in them being reluctant to do any further negotiations in the future, achieving a win / win agreement helps build and maintain a healthy business relationship going forward.

Lamberts brings the safety of young children into the spot-light

When the clocks went back in October and the daylight hours decreased, the issue of a child’s safety as they walk along busy roads in the dark again became the main topic of conversation.  Too often a child is hurt, or worse, in a road accident because they were just ‘not seen’.  Teachers across the country were explaining to their pupils the importance of ‘being safe and being seen’ by other road users.
