Centres of Influence

Digitizing a thought I had written in a journal back in 2010 around the idea of a Centre of Influence (COI). I had defined COIs as those people we have relationships with who possess a level of influence over our decision-making. The influence is exerted by virtue of their primary relationship dynamic with their network. These are people trusted & networked as an influencer, and their advice is often taken with little further thought.

It's apparent that my then knowledge of personal/professional relationship dynamics was much more limited than it is today, but interesting nonetheless...

Best Purchases of 2017

Best Purchases of 2017

Every so often, people talk about how it's so worthwhile to invest in higher quality rather than just buying something, that it pays for itself in the long run. While I've often found this to be a poor excuse attempting to justify expensive purchase decisions, there are exceptions.
