About Dr Alf

 Welcome to my blog! Let me introduce myself, I am Alf and widely known as Dr Alf! I am passionate about People, Networking, Politics and Travel. 

In 2011, a number of important things happened to me. Firstly, in February I started blogging. Secondly I became rather angry with political leaders and started sharing my views on political news. Thirdly I grew tired of my twenty year career as an independent consultant. So my fourth action was to draw the line and retire. This culminated in the fifth decision to leave the UK, base myself in Cyprus with my wife and to travel extensively for a number of years. My wife and I are now in the process of re-inventing ourselves. 

Here is a quick bio recap. I am retired and a former Independent Executive, Consultant, Coach, Researcher & Author. Prior to becoming independent I had a successful board level career in financial & general management in major multi-nationals. Professionally, I am a Chartered Accountant and a Doctor of Business Administration. I have published two books, sold Worldwide and a number of journal articles. Further information is available on my professional  web site: http://www.alfoldman.com

The purpose of this blog is to share my views and perspectives on the subjects that are of  passionate interest to me. It is hoped that the blog will broadly encourage greater reflection and insight. The Blog will use a mix of original and secondary material frequently just adding my two cents worth to a major news story.

 

This blog started out as a weekly blog, published every Friday morning but in December 2011, I decided to revamp the look, feel and content of the blog and to start blogging daily, leveraging my experiences on Twitter.

 

In 2012, I plan to introduce a number of specialized blogs as well. The first specialized blog, entitled Taking the Slow Road to Cyprus is now active.

 

I hope that you enjoy my blogs and would very much welcome  your feedback and suggestions for improvement

 

Thanks

 

Dr Alf
