    • DOES BUSINESS COACHING WORK?

      Executive coaching has evolved from Jordan Belfort-style barking and chest-thumping into meditative mindfulness, helping even the most harried of managers to handle their workload and teams. Useful professional tool or fluffy mumbo jumbo? We sit down with three coaches for an appraisal.
    • LIFE IN THE SLOW LANE

      Bored of big cities and tedious commutes? Considering jacking in your job and starting something new in a place with a gentler pace of life? We have just the idea: start up somewhere slower. We visit Mexico, Indonesia and Sicily to find out how it’s done.

    • CONTINENTAL DRIFT

    • TIME TO DOUBLE DOWN?

      Running one company can be an all-consuming task but there are some who find that it just isn’t enough – so they take on two. Here are the entrepreneurs achieving a perfect balance in their work lives, often in completely different fields.
  • CULTURE & DESIGN

    • SLEEPING WITH THE ARTIST

      Some hotels might show art on their walls but few have been engineered to put culture at their centre. We visit four properties that prove that adding a touch of hospitality to a gallery – or an exhibition space to lodgings – is an artful way to make culture pay.
    • SIZE MATTERS

      Your offices needn’t be tucked away in a monolithic multi-purpose skyscraper. Whether you employ four people or 4,000, your firm’s HQ can be a striking projection of your brand’s values and aspirations. We visit three workspaces that get it right.

    • JOBS WITH BENEFITS

      The world of work is competitive and one way for employers to attract – and hang onto – good staff is to offer them special perks. Whether it’s being able to go sailing from the office’s doorstep, choosing free new footwear or taking ‘paw-ternity’ leave for a new puppy, businesses have learnt to be creative.
