Back to the Future!
Describe something you learned in high school. I learned that unless one’s future is so ‘obviously’ predetermined, the interest and behaviour of an 11 to 16 year old kid are not necessarily an indicator of the adult to follow. One of my teachers could not see ‘me’ beyond my interest in football (soccer) ⚽️ andContinue reading “Back to the Future!”
On this Day (Easter Sunday)!
by Ryan Clement On this day many years ago, I was in Rome. My soulmate at the time, Sue, and I went over to Rome for the Easter period. Our hotel was in walking distance of the Colosseum.

‘PIP’
by Ryan Clement, LL.M., barrister One would think that the three words, ‘Performance Improvement Plan,’ in isolation and without context would be welcomed by most employees. After all, who doesn’t want to improve? For example, being reflective is primarily based on the concept of improving and making what was good even better. However, in practice,Continue reading “‘PIP’”

Who would be a school governor?
by Ryan Clement SCHOOL GOVERNORS play a crucial role in the management and oversight of schools in the UK. I know. I have been a governor of many maintained and non-maintained schools from London to Surrey to Berkshire. It is very rewarding but highly challenging and demanding, especially on one’s time. Plus, it’s voluntary. Yes, oneContinue reading “Who would be a school governor?”
