  'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but seeing with new eyes'  - Marcel Proust

  My favourite image from lockdown was the picture of the Himalayas taken from the village of Pathankot in northern India. Despite 400,000 cases of coronavirus and 13,000 deaths, the silver lining of India's lockdown was a drop in air pollution that allowed villagers to see this extraordinary mountain range for the first time in thirty years. The residents of Pathankot woke up that morning and saw with new eyes. They saw with 20/20 vision and they then flocked onto social media to share the joy of rediscovering nature's rare beauty.

• Gallup Report: Trust is not a buzz word, it is the future of work

  February 18, 2019Dr John Blakey20190401-200

  Guest blog from Sharon Curry - Partner, Trusted Executive Foundation:-
