Rose Dray has launched Grow Minds Coaching after completing her certification as a children’s confidence and mindset coach. The new venture reflects her belief that many children need more individualised emotional support than schools can currently provide alone. Ahead of the upcoming academic year, Dray intends to deliver coaching within schools, through home visits and via one-to-one sessions designed to encourage personal growth and self-confidence. Her decision to pursue…
Alison Bell never expected a simple movement one morning would bring her corporate career to an abrupt halt. Yet the injury that left her unable to work ultimately became the turning point that led her to a profession she finds far more meaningful. Alison had long admired the work of Louise Hay before circumstances forced her to reassess her future. “I had been in corporate for the best part of 20 years,” she said. “I was in IT security, IT sales, I had a European role, I was flying all around the world – and then I had to leave…
The orchestra director Cristina de Frutos attended the Provincial Court of Badajoz this Tuesday with the label of being a key witness of the accusations in the case in which David Sánchez, brother of the President of the Government, is in the dock; to the former leader of the Extremaduran PSOE Miguel Ángel Gallardo and nine other people. And the defenses, especially that of Pedro Sánchez’s relative, have dedicated themselves thoroughly to dismantling her testimony, which already during the investigation of the case pointed to alleged irregularities in the awarding, in 2017, of the senior management position of the Badajoz…

The Government spokesperson, Elma Saiz, has criticized Feijóo’s proposal to Junts and PNV to support a motion of censure out of “cynicism” and “despair”. “The Popular Party does not have a project for the country. It does not have a project to advance Spain. This opposition that they are creating is empty, it does not contribute,” he added. Feijóo stated this Tuesday that “Spain urgently needs a Government with autonomy to govern and with a majority capable of defending the general interest.” However, he has avoided the proposal to meet in Waterloo with Carles Puigdemont to negotiate Junts’ support for…

“I just don’t know what to do.” Trainers hear this sentence more and more often these days. Often after several internships, career advice or applications that have already been sent. Some young people cancel at short notice, others ghost companies after they have accepted an offer. Others start training – and realize a few weeks later that they had imagined something different. The impression quickly arises: The young generation doesn’t want to commit, doesn’t want to just “hold on,” and is constantly looking for optimization. But it’s not that simple. Many young people today experience something different: enormous uncertainty when…
International mobility is often viewed as an operational support function. This creates valuable data on costs, risks and talent movements along every posting. Professor Stefan Remhof shows how data-driven global mobility creates transparency, reduces risks and becomes a success factor for international mobility. Executive Summary Data-driven global mobility: From administrative function to strategic intelligence partner The challenge: International mobility generates large amounts of data on compliance, costs, taxes, visas and talent movements. However, in many companies, this information remains hidden in Excel spreadsheets, emails and isolated systems. The result is a lack of transparency, increased risks and a predominantly reactive…
The motion of censure against the mayor of Cartagena, Noelia Arroyo (PP), has not gone ahead. The joint proposal of the local Citizen Movement party (MC) and PSOE, supported by Sí Cartagena and two former Vox councillors, already had little sign of succeeding after the latter two dropped out of the initiative which, however, was debated and voted on this Tuesday. But the real debate has not been in the motion itself, but in the legality or otherwise of holding the plenary session. For more than two hours, PP and MC have clashed when interpreting a regulation that, for the…
