going horizontal
I like to think I can offer an independent perspective. I am not bound to
promote any single organisation or conform to any single ‘message’ or range of
products. I have always been drawn to divergent and innovative approaches and
people who think outside the box. People who are happy to challenge the status
quo. It means, I hope, that I am often able to have a different focus and
perspective on things, while at the same time being aware of other perspectives
and views. I qualified as a school teacher and some time after gained my first
Swimming Teaching Qualification. It was the early 1970s… and yes… I’m guessing
you’re doing the sums! I have ‘clocked’ a lot of mileage over some 50 years!! I
have worked in a number of professional as well as voluntary roles. The upside
is that I have had time to consider and review opinions and judgements on a wide
number of ideas, events and initiatives. I enjoyed a 21 year career as a
Secondary School teacher, uniquely teaching in both Humanities and Science
Departments. I have taught in London and overseas.
