A great tip that I have been given is in order to develop my commercial awareness, inter alia, I should discuss what I have read with other people.

Who can I talk to about this? Is there a group/groups where people go to discuss current business affairs - would defo join? Any advice?

Thanks

    Hi Dwight we have a commercial awareness discussion thread literally for this very reason so feel free to post anything you'd like to discuss in there and then people on the forum will respond with their thoughts - hope that helps :)
