Drifting Clouds

  Drifting Clouds between Hong Kong and Guangzhou When I was suspended in that atmospheric corridor between Hong Kong and Guangzhou, I was struck by how the sky felt like a turbulent yet tender expanse. I wanted my watercolour strokes to blend and blur on the paper, mimicking the ever-shifting weather patterns of the region. That is of moisture-laden clouds dissolve effortlessly into brilliant, open patches of blue. For me, this piece is an impressionistic echo of that flight.

Personal Framework for Leadership Development. Introduction My leadership journey is about self- realisation , via an evolving pathway of opportunity and application. Whilst my development has obvious milestones, these stepping points do not lead towards a premeditated leadership goal. My approach has not been as intuitive as Magnus Walker Go with your gut feeling nor has it been as linear as Charlie Bell, who spent decades climbing the McDonald's corporate ladder.
