The joy of the early walk to the station, a beautiful sunrise, one urban fox, the birdsong.

The downside, 3 hours later and the train still hasn't made it to Manchester.

The upside, powering through the emails.

It's all a matter of perspective.

7 years ago as we allowed youth services to be cut drastically, this was a conversation on Twitter between me and @saintlocks.bsky.social

Right now we are feeling the impact of those cuts both for individual young people and as a whole society.

I've walked this hill for over 40 years and never seen it look like this. Rising above the clouds over the Shropshire valleys and plains - it was majestic!

Popping into a church at this time of year and if you are lucky there is choir rehearsing. Did that on the way to a meeting in Bolton today, no idea which school it was practicing but they sounded beautiful.

Incredible production of Duchess of Malfi last night in London.
Written in the 1600s and as relevant today, maybe more with the excellent modern rewrite.
But not for the faint-hearted!

Annual weekend trip up to London before it gets too crazy. Absolutely beautiful as always and valuable time with my daughter.

Choice of language in the workplace sets the culture, can build or break down barriers; advance or hamper progress.

I worked with the author, Gill Ereaut, a few years ago and she still influences my my work today - looking forward to reading her new book and refreshing my learning.

Ordered!

A day up in #Bolton delivering a leadership team development session.

The walk to the venue took me right back to GCSE history.

The picture below is of the 'circle of influence' - many people may find their head in the large area 'of concern' in the coming days.
But there is so much more to be gained from focusing on those things we can control and influence.

"the long commutes and early starts must be horrid"

Nope, I love it.
