A bank holiday weekend used to catch up on months of blogging, post reviews and reflect on the journey so far. Sometimes the best work happens when you finally make time to look back.
#41 The Retro, Young Entrepreneurs and a Review
Retrospective week. Looking back at the IAF conference, debriefing with the core volunteers, A Sheffield College dragon's den style pitch, and a quiet week of getting back into the usual rhythm.
#40 After the Conference, Mentoring and an Event Meeting
The week after a big event is always a strange one. The adrenaline drops, the to-do list disappears, and you have to find your feet again. I found time for the ND community in Skool, and preparing for the zombie apocalypse.
#39 It's all about the conference
A mega to-do list, tricky train travel, event space set up and session planning. The IAF conference week is here and it asks what actually stays with people long after the event has ended.
#38 .....Lovebrain, a Working Day and a Birthday Meal
Back from Easter with IAF duties, a visit to the board game cafe, contract work and a late birthday celebration at Domo. A week that asks whether celebrating more, big and small, might just be the answer.
#37 Easter and the boardgames
Easter eggs, designing workshops, body doubling and board gaming at the Treehouse cafe. A week that closes out March with a quiet question forming about the different types of rest we actually need.
#36 Workshop Prep
Round two of workshop prep for the final Pathways off the Plateau session, IAF conference planning and a networking call that raised a big question about how quickly you can tell when a conversation is genuinely going somewhere.
#35 Solo adventures in London
A solo adventure to London, an inclusive facilitation exchange, a haircut and a coaching call. A week that asks how often we override what our bodies are telling us they need.
#34 Early Starts and a Fun Board
So many early mornings and lots of admin squeezed around volunteer work. A week that ticked something off the fun board and asks whether you keep a list of small joyful things to look forward to.
#33 London, Memories and an Augmented Brain
A week rich with connections. People, memories and the places in between. Sketching in waiting rooms, delivering a heartfelt letter and navigating London with AI as a co-pilot.
