Field Notes
Field Notes
Occasional writing on the same ground the calls cover - career, money, property, relocation, and the rest. No fluff, same straight read.
The notes, by topic
Career, Leadership & Enterprise
Leadership
The business turnaround
Five years of losses. Half the building quietly hoping I'd fail. What a turnaround actually demands - and the part nobody tells you it costs.
Founding
Starting from nothing
No money, no safety net, fresh out of a divorce - and a market starving for someone competent and honest the moment one finally showed up.
Workplace
AI literacy in the workplace
AI is a force multiplier, not a substitute for competence. What to trust it with, what to keep human, and how to tell the difference.
Sales, Bids & Negotiation
Notes in preparation.
Dubai Setup & Relocation
Relocation
Relocating to Dubai
The move, costed properly - rents, schools, salary packages, free zone versus mainland, and who probably shouldn't come. Eighteen years on the ground, not eighteen months.
Property - Buying & Renovating
Property
Villa renovation & commercial fit-out
What it really costs to renovate a villa or fit out a restaurant in the UAE - budgets, contractors, quotations, snagging and handover, from the owner's side of the table.
Health, Fitness & Longevity
Longevity
Health, fitness & longevity literacy
Blood work first, foundations second, optimisation last - an honest guide to health after forty, two-year blood panel and all, from someone with nothing to sell you but a conversation.
Employment, Hiring & Dismissal
Notes in preparation.
