It was my absolute pleasure to talk at this year’s @acevo.bsky.social #ACEVOfest, with two women I respect deeply - Ngozi Fulani and Anne Fox .

We shared stories of leading through very different challenges, the impact at the time & the lasting echoes - good and bad - that we feel.

I love bench plaques, and I think might be the best one ever.

I hate taking selfies but I love train travel so I wanted to capture this moment of sunny fields from a window seat.
En route to run an away day with an amazing client that I’m helping create a community produced strategy. I have sharpies, coloured card, and fire for their cause 🔥

I’ve heard so many horror stories about #recruitment processes lately - sloooow responses, unclear questions, ghosting, and the rest. It takes a bit of planning but it’s not hard to give people a great experience, and your employer brand depends on it…

Got to admit, I love getting feedback! This card is from my first client, a long standing change project that I really loved working on, especially as the charity is now thriving with new capacity, confidence, and an excellent new CEO.

Working on the weekend is not my favourite, but it helps to have
A. A super interesting project
B: supportive supervision from the chief ginger officer

(Also it delights me to combine a charity post with a cat related image. Don’t judge me. But do show me your pets helping you work)
