Book excerpt: Sometimes dreams change… Nico had always wanted to compete in gymnastics on the international stage and reach the pinnacle of the sport. Devoted his life to achieving that goal. But gymnastics isn’t cheap, what with uniform costs, travelling expenses, competition entry fees… there weren’t enough hours in the day to train and work to pay for it all. And Nico is running out of money… fast. An ill-advised bet with Misaki Nigiri—a rumoured King of Greertown’s underworld—presents Nico with an opportunity to earn enough money to fuel his dreams. All he needs to do is step into the ring and fight. But what Nico didn’t expect…was that he’d enjoy it more than gymnastics. And the dream he’d once clung to, begins to change. Sometimes dreams come true… Ryan had two dreams: to compete in gymnastics on the international stage, and to date his best friend, Nico. But only one of those could come true. Nico was straight after all… or at least that’s what Ryan had always believed. But when a twist of fate lands Nico on his doorstep in the middle of the night and strands him there for several weeks…the truth comes out. And maybe there is a chance both of Ryan’s dreams can come true.

This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrative around flexible working needs flipping. After being able to work flexibly for 14 of her 23 years in education across teaching, school leadership and MAT leadership roles, Emma Turner realised that sadly, she's actually in the minority and has just been kinda lucky. Across the education system, although there is a recent groundswell of support for developing more life friendly, innovative and flexi ways of working, there are still a great deal of misconceptions, biases and prejudices about flexible working and flexible workers. Through her 'playlist' of educational floor fillers, Emma explores some of the successful ways in which flexible working can be viewed by both employers and employees for staff at all levels, including senior and school leadership. Designed to open up the flexible working conversation, this book outlines what can work, what has worked and what could work. This new way of viewing the flexi narrative from an experienced flex-pert encourages all to revisit our views on flexible working.
