Some 15 years ago I was entrenched in studies to become a diving instructor when introduced to ‘Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs‘ by the individual teaching my course. Having just been ever so briefly introduced to this theory, its implications didn’t quite register. I did get the take home message of the day, which was that…
Read MoreWow, what a stretch – despite Greece being a new work locale for me, the start of the ‘Return to Antikythera‘ expedition set in as old hat.
