What my charity trek across Iceland taught me
In my last two blogs I've talked about stretching your comfort zones, having a great team around you and in this, my final blog it's all about some of the things I have learned throughout the whole experience of trekking across Iceland.
The trek itself was fabulous, a great experience, g…
3 things I learned from stretching my comfort zone
How does a trek to Iceland stretch your comfort zone?
Before I get into that, here's why I signed up to do a trek across Iceland.
- To raise money for a charity – the Sunshine fund does such great work providing specialised equipment to children with disabilities in the North …
How to increase productivity? Jump on a train
It may sound a bit odd, telling you to jump on a train to increase productivity, especially as I am a devout petrol head and worship at the temple of unleaded (actually four star if you are old enough to remember that).
