On another train down to London this morning, this time to interview another high profile Green Executive for my eponymous next book and, tomorrow, attend a CPD session (anybody who claims they know it all in this game is a fool and a liar). As I type, we’re trundling across the Tyne, with a lovely view of its splendid bridges as the sun breaks through the cloud above the iconic, but doomed, ‘Get Carter’ carpark. Inspiring!

Talking of inspiration, one of the downsides of writing a blog like this, is even though I know from the stats that it is well read, I don’t know who you, the readers, are. So here’s a few ways we can interact:

1. Please post comments! The only comments I refuse to publish are those which are offensive in a racist, sexist or homophobic way, are excessively sweary (f & c words unwelcome unless essential to the meaning) or are blatant spam. I want to hear from you, even particularly if you disagree with what I say.

2. Join my network on LinkedIn. Just mention you’ve read the blog as I try to avoid the spammers.

3. E-mail or ring me on 0191 265 7899. But, please, if you are thinking of trying to sell me something, I have never bought from a cold caller and don’t intend to start!

As I finish writing this, the stunning cathedral at Durham is hoving into view standing on its rock high over a loop in the Wear. The landscape gets a bit dull from now on in to the big smoke, so it is head down and work!

But, seriously, get in touch.
