Social Enterprise: 21 mind-blowing lessons

JaneHatton — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 11:00:06 +0000

Pin It A Social Enterprise is a business which has a wholly social purpose, and any surplus funds go back to the beneficiaries. It does charity by doing business, as opposed to a profit-making business which might do charity while doing business. I’ve learned a lot about social enterprise, and I personally believe it is [...]

Girls rule: Dragging the Royal Family to the 21st century

JaneHatton — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:00:04 +0000

Pin It I’m not a royalist, but I do feel the royal family are as entitled to equality as the rest of us (despite their somewhat unequal status in life!). So it was good to hear that the 16 “realms” which have Queen Elizabeth as its monarch have unanimously voted to make two significant changes [...]

Walking on Fire!

JaneHatton — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 13:00:09 +0000

Pin It Last weekend I and a number of other people walked on hot coals to raise money for Whizz-Kidz, an amazing charity that changes children’s lives. One little girl whose mother approached Whizz Kidz for help is nine years old. She can’t walk at all, and her school lends her a wheelchair for her [...]

An Even Break success!

JaneHatton — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 09:00:42 +0000

Pin It Some of you may be aware that this year I have started a new not-for-profit job board for disabled people . As a businesswoman having employed a number of disabled people I know firsthand what incredible benefits they can bring to a business. Being disabled myself I also know how important staying in [...]

Comparing ourselves to others: it’s not just me is it?

JaneHatton — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 09:00:55 +0000

Pin It I’m not sure whether this is a gender thing (i.e. more likely to apply to women) or just an individual difference thing, but I notice how often we will compare ourselves unfavourably to others. I was going to own this and say “I”, but I don’t think it’s just me! Do you find [...]

A portfolio lifestyle

JaneHatton — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 09:00:00 +0000

Pin It “A portfolio career” is a term I’ve only recently become familiar with. There are various definitions, but basically it means someone who has a number of different income streams running concurrently. This may be two or more part time jobs with employers, or a number of different forms of self-employment, and can include [...]

What really drives you at work?

JaneHatton — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 13:00:00 +0000

Pin It Few of us end up doing the job that answered the question “what would you like to do when you grow up?” as a child. Many factors influence what jobs or careers we have – and many people these days have a number of different careers throughout their lives. Some jobs we love [...]

Should disabled people be paid less than non-disabled people?

JaneHatton — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 09:00:00 +0000

Pin It A Conservative back bencher, Philip Davies, expressed his view that the minimum wage might be a hindrance to disabled people who might want to offer to work for less than the minimum wage. He claimed that the most vulnerable, including those with learning disabilities and mental health problems, were disadvantaged in their search [...]

Working from home (second time around)

JaneHatton — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 09:00:00 +0000

Pin It I worked from home for fourteen years while my children were growing up. With young children, and then as a single parent, being self-employed and working from home allowed more flexibility than being employed or working away from home would have. Although I was based at home I still spent much time elsewhere [...]
