10.01.2022 Sometimes, changes in the world around us prompt us to pause and look at our own lives. That is exactly how night-owl, Richard Griffin, discovered that maybe he isn't so opposed to mornings as he thought he was! During an interview in The Brook Buzz about what's changed for him during lockdown, Richard said: ... "I have managed to re-assess my time management between work, family and fitness. I wake up early now and I was not a morning person, I was a night owl. I sleep for 6 hours now, not 8 or 9, I wake up and exercise for an hour, have breakfast, get my daughter ready for childcare and drop her off, all before sitting down to start my workday." This wasn't the only question we asked Richard! To read his full interview, click here: https://lnkd.in/emSV3bZ #BrookRecruitment #Interview #Inspiration #TeamWork #ReadThis
10.01.2022 No matter the situation, there is always a silver lining. And if anyone can see that in life, it's our Reese Provost! Her bubbly personality and witty sense of humour ALWAYS has us in stitches! So we asked Reese what her blessing in disguise during COVID has been:... "The blessing in disguise for me is definitely not commuting to work every day. It normally takes me 25-35 minutes to drive 6km to and from work. That extra hour + a day is very well spent with exercise and more time walking and going to the park with my partner and dog." This wasn't the only question we asked Reese!
