What I've been up to

It's been a busy couple of months. First, I've become a director of a small Appreciative Inquiry consultancy, AI Consulting, joining the diverse and talented team of Kate McAllister (local government turnround specialist), Paul Nicholson (ace business psychologist), and Dr Tim Luckcock (philosophy and education specialist and Enneagram guru). It's great to have bright, experienced people to bounce ideas off, and together we can make things happen that we couldn't have achieved individually.

I have also become a trustee of a charity, Dreamcatchers, which aims to provide children and young people with opportunities to actively participate in the building and maintaining of a better society. Its director, Andy Jackson, has consistently impressed me with his dynamism and ability to find practical uses for everything he learns.

Plus, all of a sudden, I seem to be in demand for corporate training as never before! This is giving me the kick I needed to develop new ideas and rekindle my enthusiasm for all kinds of learning. Watch this space!
