Supporting parent well-being and making a difference. This is the good stuff ✨

It’s International Coaching Psychology Day - my area of specialism - & I’m pleased to be attending the International Society for Coaching Psychology congress to connect & top up my CPD. Lots of interesting looking sessions. What to choose? 🤔

Re the #Arsenal performance and result yesterday: The thing I keep coming back to is that Arteta’s behaviour at halftime, and in the second half, showed that he clearly acknowledged the mistake, whatever he said in the press conference afterwards. That gives me hope.

Had a wonderfully restorative weekend with my wife & dog, going to the beach & a woodland for walks (well, rolls for me 🦽). Feeling recharged & in a very +ve headspace, with renewed vitality. More challenges to deal with, but I’m ready. Bring it on. Time for another journey of reinvention.

@classroompsych.bsky.social I deleted my earlier post about you because autocorrect changed your name to ‘Core’ for some reason. Back up now, with your rightful moniker.

We will be announcing the Aspen Psychology Services #coaching workshop schedule for 25-26 very soon… Watch this space. In the meantime, here’s a picture of our new 7-month-old Jackhuahua pup, Scooby, who has joined the family having needed to be re-homed. Those ears and eyes… Oh, my heart ❤️

@drewwagar.bsky.social Hey Drew. I was very into my Spectrum as a kid, and I really enjoyed your playthrough of Elite, along with the reminiscing. Lots of fun.

We need attacking reinforcements, & not doing that over the last two windows was a mistake. No question. Still, decent effort from the team last night, and had it not been for Donnarumma making a string of worldie saves over both legs, things could’ve been different. We went down swinging. #Arsenal

💭We want to establish an 'edpsy TEP group'

The energy and grassroots innovation of TEPs deserves a greater chance to influence what we do.

Take a read and if interested, complete an expression of interest by 19th May.

Please share with your TEP colleagues

One of the things I’ve especially enjoyed about #Arsenal’s win over Real Madrid is hearing the different international commentators going nuts over Declan Rice’s astonishing free kicks. Pulling a few together here. [Thread]

A night for a lifetime, nothing less. Was unsuccessful in the ballot to get tickets for this one, but the upside of that was getting to watch it with both of our ‘kids’ at home. Memories for decades, for all of us. #Arsenal
