**SWIVEL Again:** Refocus your business for a fast changing world

Written in response to the startling and radical shifts in global trust relationships that began with the change of President in the USA in 2025, and that arrived to compound the impact of AI and other technological change, this builds on the previous work written to address a post-Covid world. Some of the challenges are daunting, some have only altered slightly, but the task of responding to multiple layers of complexity is even more urgent.

It is always useful to have a guide when faced with such a task.

With memorable analogies and metaphors, case studies that inspire or caution, and the insight of someone who observes the detail of a global picture, SWIVEL Again is a valuable guide and an entertaining and easy read.

Business Quotes
A Gift Book for the Business Person

This is not your usual collection of business quotations.

This quirky little book goves the quote together with captivating Victorian line art - and some insight into the background and philosophy of the person whose words are quoted.

A gift book for the business person
"Business Quotes"

There are lots of books with Who Said What: pithy, thought-provoking, sardonic - whatever characterisation you prefer.

What is different in this little gift book is the outline on the facing page of many. Here you find the context and some details of the life of the person who made the quote. Add to that penline Victorian sketches to match, and it is a little book of wisdom to keep on a desk and refer to from time to time - and smile as you absorb the message of each.

The sources range across decades and geographies and include some from that well-known person "Anon", as well as some from the author, drawn from her book "Shrapnel Free Explosive Growth".

THE CUBAN APPROACH: The art of letting go

'The Cuban Approach' is a way of letting go of the past and living each day to its fullest.

When the author decided to have a month with no plan in the countryside of Cuba, she had no idea how this would stimulate fresh review of an interesting, but challenging life.

Dedicated to all those who risk losing their dreams, this book gives a refreshing positive perspective on death, grief and loss. It is also full of delightful asides and some very funny stories.
