No matter how disruptive a given situation may be, having a series of predictable steps I follow each morning means that I am in a better headspace to tackle whatever challenges are […]

Criticism is something we have all experienced in our lives at one point or another. I know I certainly have. We can be criticised for just about anything – from the relationship we are in, to the friendships we keep, to the clothes we wear, the colour or style of our hair, the work that we do, for speaking up about something we feel passionate about…the list goes on.
