Self-employment or employee, which are you best suited to?
Sometimes when deciding to start your own business it comes more down to whether you are more suited to being an employee or being self- employed. If you enjoy complete autonomy, find it hard to belong, are not suited to playing politics, feel tortured by performance reviews or don't want to toe the line all the time then maybe self-employment is for you.

Get in touch with me and I can share some alternative job boards that you might just be missing out on during this crucial time.
Wanting to change your workplace culture?
Wanting to change your workplace culture? Wanting to make a positive impact on employee engagement? Perhaps rethink how you refer to your 'staff' or 'employees' - are they 'colleagues' or 'team members' or as as the late founder of IKEA Ingvar Kamprad used to say 'co-workers'?
