We’ve received hundreds of posts and messages on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn from Hong Kong, Dubai, all over the UK, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, England, also Eire, the Channel Islands, and the USA – and we’ve enjoyed webinars on Workplace Wellbeing, Self Esteem and Resilience, and Refreshing One’s Body & Soul … AND we were the talk of the town on Inspire Radio, loved it, thank you.
