It’s been a while

… Ages and Ages since I’ve done a blog post! I’ve been taking time to enjoy my family, yes, just us, and identify more with my role as a mother, a parent and a wife. I’ve been teaching myself to take it easy and not to try to plan all detail to the nth degree.Continue reading “It’s been a while”

Leading a Team and Facilitation

Facilitation is one of those words that can be judged as soft/ fluffy/ intangible and passive. In reality, it isn’t. It is a vital skill for leaders. Everyone talks about putting active words on your CV rather than passive or those relating to soft skills.

However, it’s interesting how much you start to doubt yourself when you haven’t got others to affirm your skills! A recruiterContinue reading “I did it: I communicated about my blog”

Sunday Morning Dreaming

I was woken up at 04:00 AM by my little 3 year old and managed to get her back to sleep. I soon followed… and I had a very strange dream! I dreamt that I was back at university studying and doing this very stylish internship that required us to write up business analysis documentsContinue reading “Sunday Morning Dreaming”
