Welcome to Couttswoman,    August 2009

This month, Coutts Woman looks at the common issues faced by working women with ways to work around them. Coach Carole Ann Rice reveals the secrets to an efficient working day, and Barbara Walshe weighs up the pro’s and con’s of working from home.

We explore the reasons behind Sophie Conran’s enviable domestic and professional success, and let our mind’s wander with Louise Doughty’s “novel idea”, the opportunity to develop and hone our creative writing skills outside of working hours.

Travel tempts us with talk of a more relaxing ski break and detox spas, and in Money Matters, Sam Dunn looks at ways to get more for your money on holiday this year.

Finally, let’s not forget what really matters this month, and that’s showing appreciation to mothers everywhere. If you’re short of a few ideas for Mother’s Day, Coutts Woman Loves is at the ready with some fabulous suggestions to inspire.

We hope you enjoy the issue.
