Bringing a bit more human-ness to work Work is done through relationships, change can only happen through dialogue.
Easing the Sunday Scaries - 11/2/24
Just a quickie from me today as I'm reading a lovely book The Kindness Method (it was at 99p at some point this week but has now gone back up, I'm reading it on Kindle Unlimited), such a helpful reminder that we don't change by being mean to ourselves and focusing on our flaws but through being kind to ourselves and starting with our own assets. It also points out the helpfulness of being in community when we want our life to look different. Which brings to mind the wonderful book club I started at work this week reading Design Justice (available open access from that link). You are not broken. You never need fixing. You can change if you want, although there are probably many reasons why your mind feels safer where you are at the minute. The love you would give to a dear friend feeling stuck is the least you can give yourself. Recent articles I'm going to get better at sending these newsletters out every week and since my list is so small, if you want to hit reply, we can have a conversation about any of the things I share. I'll also use this weekly sharing to mention my coaching offerings. I'm hosting a group coaching call starting 27th Feb. Five weeks where we can dive into how to survive the workplace in 2024. The link to sign up is here. Any questions, just hit reply to this message Have a lovely week and let's catch up soon x |

Easing the Sunday Scaries Sunday 6th October Content notice: I talk about grief and bereavement this week. Skip this email if you need to. Come back on a better day or I'll speak to you next week. x And now it's October. 50% of the marketing emails in my inbox are trying to get me ready for Christmas or make plans for a great 2025. Honestly, I've barely thought about next week let alone next year! I did try, during September, some paper planning techniques. I obviously want to buy a beautiful...
Easing the Sunday Scaries Sunday 28th April 2024 Sheepishly resurfacing after a month hiding from the Sunday Scaries. I went for a long walk this morning and have committed to a month of showing up on social media and saying stuff (it's called the Garbage Post challenge - you have to post 100 times within 30 days) so I thought I would reappear here too. Hope your Sunday's haven't been too scary this month. Recent articles What I'm reading I bought this second hand, it arrived Saturday morning...
Easing the Sunday Scaries Sunday 17/3/24 For the first time in a long time, I don't have the Sunday Scaries. I've been reading a lot and I think I've finally worked out how to align the day job with my mission of working in social justice. It's super early days but I'm going to check in with some colleagues, see if they think my idea has legs and maybe create a bit of squad around my idea. You know I'm a huge Cal Newport fan and he has, since "So Good They Can't Ignore You"*, urged his...
