Pamela's Blog: May 2015

http://pamelagoldbergblog.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, 9 May 2015. I have spoken at several events in recent months to women climbing up the career tree and some of what I, and others, have said is resonating a bit with me in relation to the general election results. It’s really tough: while you are working your socks off you also need to plan your career progression, make sure you network with appropriate people, find sponsors or mentors, be ahead of the game,. Develop your skills – the list is endless. For the former – take acting classes! So now...

Pamela's Blog: February 2015

http://pamelagoldbergblog.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, 5 February 2015. Look them in the eye and shake hands. Antony Jenkins, chief executive of Barclays Bank, was widely quoted last week saying that not only do young people need to develop work skills they also need to develop social skills – social media is no substitute for personal interaction. Employers want to see your work skills but they also want to know that you will integrate and collaborate with colleagues. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Any unwise comments in this blog are my own! What we...

Pamela's Blog: August 2014

http://pamelagoldbergblog.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 26 August 2014. I realised quite recently that I don’t have to keep my head below the parapet any more. I have popped up from time to time but, having run a charity for a number of years, was always quite guarded about what I said – after all I was representing the charity, even in my private space. I was certainly very careful about criticising another charity. I see from an article in Marketing Week Macmillan defends itself against criticism it hijacked the ice-bucket challenge. With social me...

Pamela's Blog: October 2014

http://pamelagoldbergblog.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, 30 October 2014. Another fascinating exhibition at the British Museum. Director of the British Museum, ever leaves these shores I will cry and cry. We visited this weekend and it is buzzing, humming and still full of wonder. (I won’t delve into the ethics or not of the Elgin Marbles going back to Athens – would the six million people who see them here each year travel there to see them. Enough of that! Our main purpose was to see Germany - Memories of a Nation. Each object tells a story –...

Pamela's Blog: Charisma, passion and dedication don’t trump good governance

http://pamelagoldbergblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/charisma-passion-and-dedication-dont.html

Thursday, 6 August 2015. Charisma, passion and dedication don’t trump good governance. This is simplistic but prompted by the collapse of “Kids Company”. No one knows everything that went wrong but I suspect that the charisma of the chief executive is central. Much is being made of how she was trumpeted by celebrities and politicians – everyone wanted to be on her team and perhaps the proper challenge was missing, as was the scrutiny? He was sure that it would work for breast cancer. Does it rely on hour...

Pamela's Blog: July 2014

http://pamelagoldbergblog.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, 12 July 2014. Assisted Dying Bill in the House of Lords. Recently a panel of nine Supreme Court Justices (the UK’s highest court) turned down a challenge to the status quo on the ‘right to die’ brought by the widow of Tony Nicklinson – the “locked-in syndrome” sufferer who fought a long campaign for assisted suicide – and Paul Lamb, another severely disabled man. In effect this would enable terminally ill patients deemed to have no more than six months to live to be prescribed a fatal dose of d...

Pamela's Blog: The Rich List and the rest of us

http://pamelagoldbergblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-rich-list-and-rest-of-us.html

Wednesday, 29 April 2015. The Rich List and the rest of us. In 2013 I wrote a blog. Goodbye to weekend magazines". About how my love for magazines had waned and that they had little relevance and less interest to me. I glanced at two last weekend -. The Sunday Times published its Rich List 2015. Last year you needed only £85 million to be included but this year there are so many billionaires that you need £100 million. Gosh – that lets me out then. Here all year round like us plebs, they have homes.
