How was the LT digital experience?
Let’s get a few points out of the way. I miss the tribal gathering of the L&D clan this year quite keenly. I miss bumping in to people I have not seen for a while. I miss catching up with people I know will be there. I miss the day away from the desk and… Continue reading How was the LT digital experience?

How are you?
“Hey. How are you Ava?“ For me, this is a reflex. It’s how I start pretty much any conversation. So, at the start of Zoom calls, as the colleagues pop in to view, the question pops out of my mouth.

I noticed something about the remote work lifestyle this week. Yes. I know, I have been at this for 9 months or so and only just clocked it. Not claiming novelty – just keen to share. I have not looked someone in the eye at work since late March. That’s a long time and I… Continue reading Look me in the eye and say that
Finding the GSD (the person who gets s@#t done) is gold dust
A brief note from my consulting experience over the last while. It’s an obvious point. But, like many obvious points, it bears some repetition. Much is rightly made of senior stakeholder relationships in consulting phases of projects and in consulting roles. Seeing the landscape map as senior decision makers see it is vital to your… Continue reading Finding the GSD (the person who gets s@#t done) is gold dust
