by Ryan Clement OF COURSE, I don’t really know the answer to this age-old question, but my very good friends, F and M, may well have come very close to an – rather than ‘the’ – answer. WE WERE CELEBRATING A VICTORY in a recent court case. We were enjoying our meal in Wembley – they had kindly made the journey South for my sole convenience. We, sorry, I had elected for an Indian meal. Had I…

by Ryan Clement Today’s daily prompt was, “What’s a song lyric that has stuck with you forever?” which, for me, is an impossible question to answer because there are so many. However, I answered by cheating – I chose three songs! Then I remembered two more (songs), but was locked out, so l created my own blog.

If your original plan…

by Ryan Clement Just received an email from someone who watched a video I published over 2 years ago about bullying in the workplace, during which I referred to either soccer/football teams Arsenal or Manchester City winning the English Premier League – it was a two-horse race! A no brainer! I sought to draw from an example of how Liverpool fans warmly embraced Mo Salah after he missed a…

by Ryan Clement We have all seen it: a beautiful Employee or Staff Handbook (the one that is referred to in the contract of employment, which staff confirm that they read and understood!) that sits untouched while the actual office culture plays by its own set of rules.
