Iceland Volcano Eruption - Geothermal Power Potential
The volcano eruption has forced millions of people to think the unthinkable: a world without air travel. Its impact across Europe is nothing compared to the possible impact of global warming by 2050. Such eruptions remind us of the vast energy beneath our feet, which could power our future. There is 250,000 times more geothermal energy available than is currently used – enough to power the lives of 7 billion people many times over, so long as it can be distributed from the most suitable sites to where it is needed.

Work-Life Balance: Workplace Survival
Why is it that work-life balance is so often talked about, and so little shown? Work-life balance is the key to developing high-performance teams. Keynote to European Commission. I have spoken to audiences in over 50 nations about these and other issues, and wherever I go in industrialised nations, people talk about getting a better balance – especially women. Surveys show that work-life balance is number one or two priority for those leaving business schools. In a recent UK survey, 6 out of 10 of 25-35 year olds said they were looking for a higher purpose at work. The more passionate people are about the work they do, the less they complain about work-life balance.

Future of Fund Management and Banks
Urgent ethical questions. Over the last decade I have lectured to thousands of fund managers from many different institutions including banks, responsible for hundreds of billions of actively managed investments, mainly entrusted to them by pension funds. The global economic crisis highlighted a number of fundamental problems within the industry, that had been there for many years, and remain unresolved. Issues such as over-charging, low performance, lack of confidence of fund managers in their own funds. Restoring trust has to be an urgent major priority. Without it, the industry as it is cannot survive. Wat ch keynote at Mercer client event.
Scandal about MP Expenses in UK - predicted in 1995 in my book "The Truth about Westminster"
MP Expenses scandal in UK: predicted 14 years ago - see book "The Truth about Westminster" that I wrote in 1995. "The system is open to fraud, and some are taking advantage of this. The amounts involved can be large. Lord Nolan described 'fiddling of expenses' as 'a crime, whether it is done by a Member of Parliament or anybody else'. At least six cases of suspected abuse are uncovered every year by the Commons Fees Office. However, no MP has ever been publicly disciplined. It is disturbing that such matters are always kept secret even if discovered, despite the fact that if the truth were known, such MPs would face banner headlines, national disgrace and political oblivion. ne Labour MP said, 'The rules are so lax it is difficult not to abuse them. In fact I am the only Labour MP I know who actually does the mileage.' One secretary confessed: 'My MP would simply tell me to claim to the maximum limit, and so I would make up the trips. It was total fiction.' For full text of The Truth about AIDS book published in 1995
