Off up to Manchester to moderate a panel on radical retrofit. Sitting in the much quieter unreserved carriage rather than heading to the rammed reserved seating carriage.

I never relish going out to events; it's not a habitat that feels naturally comfortable...but I always enjoy it when I do force myself/make the effort.

This was a really interesting discussion around women's careers in property. Barriers/journeys and plenty of tips.

Thanks @nikkipilkington.bsky.social, learnt so much in just an hour. Practical and in plain English and now have plenty of simple things I can do.

Works for me.

What's up, Bluesky asks? @bizzybeebolly.bsky.social only let me come on her podcast to talk about how it all started with my career and freelancing. You can listen here on Spotify (also available on Apple podcasts) open.spotify.com/episode/2Cqg...

Missed this bit of good news over the Christmas holidays, but it popped up in my LinkedIn feed earlier this week.

That’s me done for the year, work-wise. Have a wonderful Christmas and see you in the New Year.

Had a fantastic chat with @ayoabbas.bsky.social about planning successful panel events and podcasts. We shared some of the mistakes people make and how to avoid them, along with an anecdote or two about our experiences. Watch the replay here www.linkedin.com/events/panel...

Jumped on a train to Southampton yesterday to moderate a round table discussion on AI and project management for the Advanced Project Management Research Centre at Southampton Uni.

The venue - Harbour Hotel - was looking very festive.

What are you up to this week?
