    Very proud to be part of the Business Commission set up by the Leader of the Hammersmith & Fulham Council. White City, Shepherd's Bush, Fulham and Hammersmith are all places with a rich history of creativity and innovation and today are vibrant, interesting places to work and to live. Bordered by one of the most beautiful parts of the Thames one one side and by huge innovative development at White City on the other, this is a highly connected and creative place to be. The Business Commission was set up by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham to help make this area the best place in Europe to do business - working in partnership with Imperial College, home of innovative thinking and in partnership with the incredible businesses based in this area of West London. One of the commission's conculsions was to set up 'Upstream' a network of the brilliant businesses based here ( as well as business people like me who call this borough home). Email Move.Upstream@lbhf.gov.uk to be part of it or contact me to find out more.

    "LoveWork offers a step-by-step framework for doing the work you love and loving the work you do. It is filled with illustrative scenario-based examples to nurture the free expression of ideas and help you thrive."
    From the foreword by Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management Harvard Business School

    Life provides a unique opportunity to do great things and help make the world a better place. Given that a staggering 90,000 hours of our lives (on average) will be spent working, how many of those precious hours will be meaningful or memorable?

    Authors Ben Renshaw and Sophie Devonshire believe it's possible to make the time you spend at work more rewarding and enjoyable. In LoveWork they share seven simple steps to help you find new ways to build a more positive relationship with your work.

    This book is for you if:
    · You are moving up through your work or moving on to a new role
    · You'd like to move faster or go further
    · You want to find, rediscover or nurture your love of work.

    You'll learn how to unlock your thinking to trigger a renaissance in your work experience, to embrace dynamic working and to discover, develop and then deliver new ways to thrive at work. If you want to love life, you'll need to LoveWork. It's time to stop counting the hours and start making those hours count.
