Most fashion executives treat sustainability as a cost problem. The materials are more expensive, the supply chain is more complicated, and the customer premium for environmental responsibility is real but harder to capture than the aspirational marketing suggests.

When he directed Hawkers to launch the H2O collection, the company wasn’t positioning itself for a green marketing cycle. It was testing whether the economics of sustainable eyewear could be made to work at volume. Each pair of…

When Nothing Happens, Something Worked A well-run dive has no story to tell. No drama, no close call, nothing worth reporting over dinner. That is not chance. It is the result of scuba diving safety built on solid research, a strong culture, and habits practised until they become second nature. Darrell Seale has built a long career around all three. An instructor since 1999 with more than 2,500 dives logged, Seale works between Trophy Club, Texas, and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Safety is not a feature he adds to his teaching — it is the foundation everything else rests…

Political strategist Alberto Lage and psychologist Iracema Rezende grounded the book in their direct experience of Brazilian campaigns. They look at the psychological forces that shape how candidates behave under pressure and argue that those forces are at work in leadership and decision-making far outside the political arena. “Inside the Candidate’s Head: The Psychology of Running for Office – Lessons from Brazil’s Campaign Trenches” is now available in English. The book topped Amazon Brazil’s charts after its Portuguese release and went on to reach readers across Latin America and Spain through a Spanish edition. Lage and Rezende published the original,…

Moving house is one of those things that sounds simple until you’re actually doing it. Suddenly, you’re surrounded by boxes, second-guessing whether that wardrobe will fit through the hallway, and wondering if you’ve forgotten something important.

As a matter of fact, in most cases, it is possible to make terms better, add value and take risks. The difference is thus a question of how the negotiations are managed. Solicitors involved in settlement agreements understand when it is right to push, ask and act. Their handling ensures that the offer becomes an agreement. Why the First Offer Is Rarely the Final Deal An offer of…
