Tackling Life’s Big Decisions
Once we understand and accept how the world is changing around us we are better placed to respond to those changes and take the key decisions that make a real difference
Self indulgence or esssential preparation?
Do you suffer from the deep seated puritanical strictures that we so often put on ourselves? If so, you are not alone… EML coach clients going through some of the biggest changes in their lives at a time when all the certainties we once knew no longer hold true, and yet some clients feel that […]
Learning from history

Revenue staff are charged with squaring this circle and do so using three income streams – the challenge, as always, is to optimize revenue. Each stream has limits: Taxing the Living– provides the largest income stream through income […]
A simple idea
EML is founded on a simple idea – but one that changes everything! Time and again you will have heard that we are living longer – yet few people take the time to really think this through and understand what it means for them and their families, and for the industry they work in or […]
