Content for business and study. Expect anything from free courses and advice to interviews with industry captains to all the way to PhD, PGT & Undergraduate students advice. Hey I may even post content from my DIY projects but escorted with a business or learning metaphor :) yes I do philosophise a little too much some times :D (also expect Dads humour from time to time - life is nothing without smiles, even if its a smile to a bad joke).
I am a Professor at Ulster University and a Business Consultant who likes to practise practical philosophy. I am passionate about Learning and helping others to learn, I come from a family of hoteliers and restaurateurs. Prior to my academic career I was an enterpreuner and worked in Hotels and Restaurants in Europe. I hold a PhD and an MSc from the University of Surrey and a Swiss hotel management diploma. My research and consultancy remains focused on practical aspects and solutions to management problems and almost always is applied research.

Greek Sea Aquarium (sort off) - My Little Greek Reef
Last year I created a little reef that I was hoping it would attract fish and become a little habitat... I had managed to move some quite large rocks but was certain they stood no chance against the Greek waves and Posidon... Luckily it stood the test of time and I discovered scorpion fish and quite a big selection of Perch, rainbow fish, wrasse, bream, and other species. The original reef had collapsed inwards (the intended design was a circle) and looked more like a mound but this year I am extending it creating an oval larger reef hoping for an octopus to decide to make it it's home... we shall see if I succeed as I have yet to find a nice rock that could work as an octopus nest.
Πέρυσι δημιούργησα έναν μικρό ύφαλο που ήλπιζα ότι θα προσέλκυε ψάρια και θα γινόταν ένας μικρός βιότοπος... Είχα καταφέρει να μετακινήσω μερικούς αρκετά μεγάλους βράχους αλλά ήμουν σίγουρος ότι δεν είχαν ελπίδες αντίστασης απέναντι στα ελληνικά κύματα και τον Ποσειδώνα... Ευτυχώς ομως άντεξαν στη δοκιμασία του χρόνου και ανακάλυψα δυο σκορπιους και μια αρκετά μεγάλη ποικιλία από ψαρια.. Πέρκες, γυλους,χαρακιδες, σαργους, τσιπούρες και άλλα είδη. Ο αρχικός ύφαλος είχε καταρρεύσει προς τα μέσα (το αρχικό σχέδιο ήταν ένας κύκλος) και έμοιαζε περισσότερο με βουναλακι, αλλά φέτος τον επεκτείνω δημιουργώντας έναν οβάλ μεγαλύτερο ύφαλο ελπίζοντας οτι ένα χταπόδι θα αποφασίσει να το κάνει σπίτι του... θα δούμε αν Τα καταφέρω καθώς δεν έχω βρει ακόμη έναν ωραίο βράχο που θα μπορούσε να λειτουργήσει ως φωλιά χταποδιού (Θολάμι).

thank you! what if I use the research question as a theme and start from that and codes, and subthemes are developed inductively?,
depends if you have a single research question, it should lead to a number of themes but you may have multiple research questions and sometimes a research question as it is developed and redeveloped through the phd stages can become a theme. always work with your supervisor as there are no clear cut and absolute rules it depends on the data and the research context and approach. this video however was about abductive thematic analysis! see this: nsuworks.nova.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5382&context=tqr i the link doesnt work look up a guide to abductive thematic analysis by jamie thompson

If all you've ever done is academia, go out and do physical labor for six months. Then work in a factory for a couple of years, learning how to make things per specs, budget, and schedule. Then go sell cars for a couple of years, strictly on commission. You'll learn business, real business. I have a Masters, that's exactly what I did in my youth and early 30s. I'm a much better person for it. Not everything's in a damn book.
Life experience is often undervalued but it doesn't necessarily mean that PhD students do not have life experience I remember a 60+ year old Grandma doing her PhD and she was a powerhouse! Purist academics do not rate highly in my book unless they have branched out and have worked with professionals or charities to better this world of ours. I am not sure they have to do all the things you say they must do but you must also remember most PhDs have little or nothing to do with Business (if it would be business focused its more likely to be a DBA (Doctor of Business Administration). Just because we worked hard in our youth doesn’t mean others have to do exactly the same, my job is to make people better than me not like me, I follow the same rule for my children. If I can cultivate Better, Stronger, More street wise Philosophers than I can ever be then I shall be happy. BTW my brother in Law was a builder and one of the best Philosophers I have met in my life, no PhD not even a degree.
@@ThinkintheCircle wonderfully said and I love your attitude in general. So refreshing and helpful to experience. It's not about every extreme: there are many academics/students who could use some more down to earth "real life" experiences but there are many laborers/entrepreneurs etc who would be enriched by expanding their field of knowledge (I mean, this is true for us all), but maybe more specifically to a broader macro outlook. With that said, many of the people I respect the most who are incredibly intelligent but also just know how to be good to eachother are people who've never been to college.
Congrats on reaching 782 Subs.
Thank you I see you are shooting upwards and onwards yourself! Congratulations! Was Watching some of your videos earlier :)
Thank you profesor! You can also put your social media account in the description.
Thank you a Good idea! I shall add my LinkedIn :)
@@ThinkintheCircle exactly:)
Thank you, these are very helpful tips. One thing I realised, is that there were a lot of months between submitting my proposal and actually having the interview. This meant that my ideas had developed a lot further from the original proposal, so going back and re-reading everything a few times before the interview was important.
Great tip! Absolutely agree have your proposal fresh in your head!
Thank you so much for taking up your time to upload this.
Glad it was helpful! it ends abruptly cause the rest of the steps are easy good luck!
nice Background 😉
Haha i thought it would lift peoples spirits up when discussing such a serious subject...
Great webinar!! Thank you very much. Most helpful.
Glad it was helpful! More coming in the future!
Love this.
Thank you Paul! I had fun making it (well not so much fun in the mornings but discipline is self-love and motivation as much of an illusion as happiness as an end result.
Dear Professor, could you please share some ideas about the choice after PhD graduation? Especially in hospitality and tourism field
Funny you asked my friend because it is on my list of videos to make, and your request has bumped it up to the top of the next to make, there are a few in the ready to be published with wolfie first as i have neglected his content :)

Can phd loans released for international students?
Hi Yes some Universities have dedicated PhD scholarships for International students, you can check on jobs.ac.uk for UK based phd opportunities and also findaphd.com Good Luck!
The most insightfull video I have watched so far. I love the sayings "Your ears are better listener than your mind" and "Practice like Crazy". Many thanks for sharing us your experiences.
Thank you, Glad it was helpful!
Learnt a lot from this talk. Thank you so much for this lovely sharing😇

Only losers quit their PhD
Sometimes life has a way of not allowing us to complete a marathon It is ok as long as you learn from the experience. Sometimes in life losing can lead to greater victories and a victory may lead to a great loss.
@@ThinkintheCircle wrong
Only losers think that way, champions push through and get it done!@@ThinkintheCircle
I had quit my phD after 1 year, life has never been better!
@@mickeykozzi I will never know if I am wrong (or right) because I never quit my PhD but wish to have empathy for those who find themselves in a dead end. Some universities report a non-completion rate of as high as 70% is it their fault? The fault of the supervisors? The fault of the system? All I can advise is that the older I get the more I realise that to deal in absolutes is an absolute absurdity. That's why I know only one thing and that is that I know nothing!
Thank you for this video!
You are welcome, hope it helps you reflect a bit.
Great advice Ioannis thank you
You are ahead of the game as you are already doing tasks 1 and 6 Martin :)
Great advice
Glad you could hear through all the whispering😅
Fantastic Ioannis love your skills
Thanks Martin I consider myself an amateur as its been so long since i practised daily, but it is a bit like a bicycle...
Wonderful video I have one question. Please answer if possible I have got a conditional offer for PhD marketing... Condition was English language requirements... IELTS 7 overall with no less than 6 and writing should be 7. I gave my IELTS and I got 7overall with L8.5 S7.5 R6.5 and writing also 6.5... So I missed .5 in writing.... Will they accept or what is the alternative of this... I am so worried....I don't know what to do. Can you suggest anything.... I don't have much time...
Hello Sindra depends on the university and if you worked directly with a potential supervisor. If you worked with them on the proposal alert him/her to see if there is something they can do. Some universities will look at a candidate holisticaly and make a judgement. Other unis are super strict on admission criteria. If you are self funded or bring funding with your chances are stronger. Best thing to do is BREATHE do not panic everything happens for a reason! With a clear calm mind the solution will come to you. Good luck!
You nailed it, Prof. Well done!
Oh thank you! Glad you enjoyed Mr Forget about it thoughts.
Aww he looks like Benji
not sure who Benji is but i m certain Benji is as great a character as Mr Wolfie Chubaca Pants :)
Love your true perceptions, we all experience this, thank you Ioannis
Thank you Martin luckily in NI i keep meeting joyful people. Long may this trend continue!
I'd love to see the full video sounds like a great initiative.
Thanks I saw the completed draft yesterday and its looking good depends on how fast the uni wishes to release it but i am guessing if not next week the week after.
Loving the use of multiple cameras! And the bloopers!

Lots of people worry about what has happened in the past or worry about what is going to happen in the future, in fact worrying about things that hasn’t happened is one of humanity’s greatest problems. I believe live for now and try to be who you want to be, we have the power.
