Aron, Abby

Live and Work Abroad

Abby Aron bought a house in the windy city of Essaouira on the south-west coast of Morocco, restored it and now rents it out to holiday makers. At the time of buying and building the house, there was nothing written about the buying, legalities and restoration processes of homes in Morocco despite the fact it was fast becoming a hotspot for property punters. Buying A House in Morrocco was thus borne of the demand to get to grips with a system that even many official Moroccans were unfamiliar with.

Andrew’s research interests include Fourth Republic France and post-war modernization, as well as the history of Wine. His current research is underpinned by these themes, examining the relationship between periphery and centre in the politically charged atmosphere of the Midi wine industry.

The study focuses on the militant winegrowers’ organization the CRAV, who symbolize the convergence of blood and wine, with the processes and narratives which created them being drenched in both.

Thomsen, Barry

Business

Barry Thomsen started his entrepreneurial career when he was only five years old. He decided that he wasn't going to sit for hours in front of his house and try to sell a pitcher of lemonade. He loaded two pitchers in his wagon and took them to nearby construction sites and sold out in fifteen minutes. By working on his own, he learned first-hand the importance of great customer service. Long hours and extra work never bothered him and learning from failures along the way set the foundation for future successful endeavors. After extensive experience in a variety of industries he started his current business which sells plastic cards, scratch cards and promotional items. During those years, he advised and helped many other small business people with start-up and other ideas to grow. He found he got a lot of personal satisfaction from helping others so he started a monthly newsletter called the Idea-Letter which has subscribers nationwide. He also started writing business articles, many of which are published in national magazines, newspapers, newsletters and on the AMA website. Many local groups asked him to speak about small business and solving problems Currently he has six published books on small business and the next one on the way. He now enjoys traveling around the country and world speaking to groups about his many successes and failures. He is also an expert on trade show and expo success after exhibiting and attending hundreds of them over the years.

Taylor, Denise

Job Hunting

Denise is a chartered occupational psychologist and registered career guidance practitioner and has had a very successful career working for a blue chip company. Her rise from clerical officer to Director in thirteen years is testimony to her ability to set and achieve personal goals.

Having left school with few qualifications she committed to years of part time study to gain a bachelors degree in psychology and a masters degree in occupational psychology. Personal development is important to her and to maintain her level of expertise in counselling successfully gained a diploma in counselling. Move to a more strategic role led to her continued study for a MBA. She has since gained a diploma in performance coaching and continues her studies through the Graduate School of Coaching.

Throughout her career her work has focused on supporting people to achieve career goals and indeed to define and understand who they are and what they want to be, acting as career counsellor, guide, mentor and coach.

In 1997 Denise took stock of her life and realized that while she had great career success her life was out of balance. She took time to enjoy life and decide where to focus. This was not to return to a corporate environment but to have a portfolio career. Denise now has a mix of working with organisations, particularly in the field of assessment and development and with individuals in all aspects of careers counselling, guidance and development.
