🎉 It’s my birthday today! 🎈
And apparently, I’ve been making videos on YouTube for just over 4 years too.
Anyway — since it’s my birthday, you legally have to watch my latest video about awesome MacBook accessories.
Yes, that’s how birthdays work. I don’t make the rules.

Had a full health check yesterday.
✅ to blood pressure
✅ to cholesterol
✅ to iron levels
The most surprising thing? I’m 2 inches shorter than I thought I was this whole time 😮
Anyhoo, I’m off to York Parkrun to try and see if it’ll make me any taller.

We need to reboot leadership and management development, says @garycookson.bsky.social
We can’t assume that a manager who was good at managing people face-to-face, will be automatically fine managing in a remote setting.
They might be, but do we want to leave this to chance?!

Hybrid work tells people that you have to work in a fixed place at a fixed time.
We’re treating everyone the same when they’re not. Mandating onsite working isn’t the answer.

ONS reported in Nov 2024- 40% of UK adults work hybrid or entirely from home.
But making hybrid work isn’t sexy- we only seem to hear about the negative stories in the press.
