Everything we want can become a reality, the biggest obstacle in the journey to fulfilling dreams is the ability to find patience to make things happen.
When most people think of working in a start-up environment, they think of long hours and consistent work for years until that ‘break-through’ moment. Hard work and dedication are fundamental to success, but success can be achieved in a shorter timeframe if breaks are taken to re-centre and re-focus. Although nothing can be achieved without hard work, the work must be thought out and strategic.
Vision without action is a daydream, but action without vision is a nightmare.
The brain is a muscle, and like any muscle needs to recover. Although it may seem counter-productive, productivity levels are significantly increased amongst those who take time out. This does not necessarily mean taking a week-long holiday once a month, it could be 15 minutes after every hour of hard work.
By taking a break, we give our brain the time it needs to recover and operate at maximum efficiency. Doing the easy tasks you have been putting off or checking your Instagram feed is not a break, it’s vital to step away from your desk. This could be as simple as going for a walk, eating a snack or re-hydrating; but these small changes will have a massive impact on the quality and efficiency of your work.
We can’t increase the hours in a day, but we can increase the amount of energy we have!

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are no longer just buzzwords - they're central to building resilient, innovative, and forward-thinking teams. But even companies with the best intentions often fall short in the first step of the hiring process: the job advert.
When it comes to job hunting, the process can often feel overwhelming - hundreds of applications, generic rejections, and little to no feedback. But what if your job search could feel more human, more intentional, and more tailored to you? That’s where a boutique recruitment agency like ours comes in.
