I meet lots of people who feel stressed at work, don’t take a lunch break and are stuck at their desk for a whole day. Sound like you? Then read on… A friend of mine worked right near Circular Quay in Sydney for years.

As a network member of NPA Worldwide, we are very excited to announce that we now have an extensive International reach when it comes to recruitment and executive search.

Anyone remember a game called Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? It was developed by Brøderbund Software in the early 1980’s (Click on the picture above if you want to check out the new App Store version) Those cool guys at Brøderbund also built Lode Runner…ahhhh, that was a great game… …but I digress!

Do you own a pen?…this may be a silly question, but in an article Richard Branson wrote recently he refers to the fact that 10% of 13 to 19 year olds don’t own a pen. 50% have never written a thank you letter.
