Ridding Yourself of Tall Poppy Syndrome – Why You Should Be Nominating Yourself for An Award

The advantages of being nominated for an award are obvious – the recognition for your work, the kudos, the PR opportunities, perhaps a little extra finance to undertake a project… so why then does it feel so awkward when it comes to nominating yourself for an award? It’s an issue I’ve been discussing lately with a couple of clients. Both women in executive leadership roles. Confident, accomplished women, women who have worked extremely hard and deserve to be recognised for their huge steps in self-development and business triumphs. And who both shy away from the thought of nominating themselves as…

What does Vegan mean?

The term ‘vegan’ was coined in the 20th century, but evidence of people opting not to eat animal products can be traced back over 2,000 years.

At around the same time, Buddha was discussing vegetarian diet with his followers. In the early 19th century, the concept of veganism was beginning to be formed, with Dr William Lambe and Percy Bysshe Shelley amongst the first Europeans to publicly object to consumption of eggs and dairy products on ethical grounds. In 1944, the Vegan…
