Culture Jamming-Create a Happy Company

Culture Jamming-Create a Happy Company

Culture Jamming is the latest term to come from the states. Essentially it’s a cool Californian term for engaging and creating a team spirit with your employees.
Many companies have an outward facing ethos but do little to foster that ethos within their own community.
Marketing your message out to clients and the world is one thing, but you need to have everyone on your own company rowing in the same direction and enjoying the ride.

Elk Hunting in Montana

Elk Hunting in Montana

Montana – the big sky country – is arguably one of the most scenic US states.  Full of friendly people and over-run with a fascinating variety of wildlife.  The State presents  a wonderful opportunity to hunt US style.
 
Hunting in the US, or stalking as one would say in Scotland, is very similar in a lot of ways, but whereas in Scotland one can shoot as many stags as one’s pocket and the landowner permits, in the United States the law says one beast only.

Didit Hediprasetyo Spring/Summer Couture Collection 2014

Didit Hediprasetyo Spring/Summer Couture Collection 2014

There are straight shoulders, emphasized waists, and straight cuts. There is subtle femininity, bare flesh revealed through a low neckline, and the volume of a A-line skirt light as air. But though there may be Fifties reminiscences or the feel of a ride to Napa Valley, the colours of a Californian season give a subtle stamp to this Paris couture free from any hint of the vintage.

Cruising The Caribbean, Sans Sea Legs

Cruising The Caribbean, Sans Sea Legs

“Have you cruised before?” Four words, one question on a constant loop inside the mind, even now we’ve been back in the UK long enough to celebrate Christmas and New Year, and recover from both.
For two first time shipmates the answer was simple enough, ensuring the constant repetition never became too painful. “No”, we would respond, and then wait, either for genuinely useful advice or another verbal love letter about how this is the finest thing to happen to international travel since the birth of international travel.

International eXcellence talks to Sandy Hyslop Master Blender at Ballantines

International eXcellence talks to Sandy Hyslop Master Blender at Ballantines

My career started in 1983 when I worked for a small whisky company on the east coast of Scotland. I had the best of both worlds working there; I was 18 and I had a job, but I was also given the opportunity to go and study chemistry in Aberdeen at the same time. Working for such a small company gave me an incredible range of experience so, when the opportunity came up to join the Pernod Ricard family, I already had a very solid grounding in the whisky business. I became Master Blender of Ballantine’s at the end of 2005, and there is no better job as far as I’m concerned.
