My friend wrote a book about her experience of surviving a stroke at 28 years old. It's such a compelling read. And if you work in healthcare, it's a valuable insight into how it feels from the patient perspective.

Had my coaching session with Amanda last night, and it was sooo good! Feeling super pumped. I'd highly recommend it. Thanks Ananda 😊
Just finished my first coaching session, and I have to say it was a bloody delight! Sooo much better than communicating through documents.
There are still a few coaching slots open for the next round of the Not Quite Write Prize, so if it interests you, be sure to pop it on your Christmas list!
