One of the roles I play in my life is working alongside people who have a dream.
As much as I've been called a dreamer in my life, this is about guiding them along the path of planning that out, so it becomes less of a dream and moreof a goal.
It's a fulfilling role that probably teaches me more than I can ever pass on.
I get to cross paths with a number of different people from equally diverse walks of life.
I love finding that sweet spot - when you can turn up with a bunch of people and feel as though you belong, that you are safe and that everyone has each other's back.
As we have come to expect in business, the vernacular is very much ''competition, competitor, compete''.
It's often been a realm where you are pitted against everyone else in your industry. A space where there are rivals and foes - almost a 'kill or be killed' mentality that may or may not be true, but it is certainly an understanding that many people have.
