Despite what we might think from LinkedIn, coaching is not that well known outside of HR and leadership circles. I predict this will change massively over the next decade, but we’re not there quite yet… I’ve worked in Higher Education for a decade and not one of my managers mentioned coaching, it was never anContinue reading “Coaching is not just for Senior Leadership“

Highgate Wood :: Journal 23rd Feb – 28th Feb
23th Feb – It’s still nice to be at home sometimes I’ve not written for a few days out of not feeling like it, out of having a bad few days. I’m on my week off work now. This was such a good idea. The relaxation is very much in full swing, the weather isContinue reading “Highgate Wood :: Journal 23rd Feb – 28th Feb”
Not one wild notion :: Journal 6th Feb – 17th Feb
9th Feb – the closest possible distance The snow continues this morning. I’ve never seen snow so intent on snowing for so long without bothering to settle. It’s not keen to commit to being here on the ground with us. I don’t blame it. I’m tired today. I feel like a loose boiled courgette, allContinue reading “Not one wild notion :: Journal 6th Feb – 17th Feb”
the strange consequences of the present moment :: Journal 3rd Feb – 8th Feb 2021
3rd Feb – like a houseplant you overwater I’m holding on to this relic of the former world, this notebook travelled more places in 2019 than I did in 2020. It’s known the crush of busy tube trains and windswept beaches. It’s hard to keep hope. It’s like a houseplant you overwater, eventually it’ll startContinue reading “the strange consequences of the present moment :: Journal 3rd Feb – 8th Feb 2021”
quiet instead of panic is a blessing :: Journal 30th Jan – 2nd Feb
30th Jan – soft boy This month feels like it should have ended two days ago, at least. Today it has rained a lot and we spent lots of time clearing and faffing around. I baked a wheatsheaf loaf from my Paul Hollywood Bread Book. Husb said it looked a bit like an octopus. Sure itContinue reading “quiet instead of panic is a blessing :: Journal 30th Jan – 2nd Feb”
Vivacious Gusto :: Journal 26th Jan – 29th Jan
26th Jan – not every wave is a tidal wave The roof snow is still melting and the pavements still have their tired cake icing layer. I woke both of us up at around half six this morning by unconsciously kicking my hotwater bottle out of bed, it made a heavy wet rubbery slouchy sortContinue reading “Vivacious Gusto :: Journal 26th Jan – 29th Jan”
It seems too grand a dream at present :: Journal 19th Jan – 25th Jan 2021
19th Jan – it seems too grand a dream at present I daydream about success as I pop the berocca into my water and move into the bedroom, overhearing husb’s morning meeting as I go. I daydream about a splash of attention when I finish my quilt, comments and likes and who knows, interviews forContinue reading “It seems too grand a dream at present :: Journal 19th Jan – 25th Jan 2021”
a truly sarcastic level of social distancing :: Journal 11th Jan – 13th Jan 2021
11th Jan – eight years together Husb just came in to wish me happy eight years together. We’d both forgotten. This isn’t our wedding anniversary, that is a bigger deal for us these days. This is the date of our first date. It’s just lovely to think about us going on our first date eightContinue reading “a truly sarcastic level of social distancing :: Journal 11th Jan – 13th Jan 2021”

Eddus Watches: AJ and the Queen
Rupaul’s Drag Race has been a huge success, it’s been on for over a decade with 11 main seasons, 4 all stars seasons, and most recently the excellent UK version for BBC Three. Unsurprisingly Rupaul has been searching for another project to capitalise on this success, to strike while the hot glue gun is hot.Continue reading “Eddus Watches: AJ and the Queen”
