Summer sunshine turns minds to summer holidays, a time to laze about and recharge the batteries. A time to put the brakes on, to reflect, to regain enthusiasm, to catch up on the stuff you used to like doing but seems to have been squeezed out by the back to back meeting existence that now seems to be the norm of work; a time to talk to people instead of emailing them, a time to become a human being once more and have some fun. Or of course it is all just a blinking inconvenience that gets in the way of striving to achieve the next element of the transformation experience!
