Blog post number one.

Welcome. 👋

I’ve started writing a blog for two reasons.

Firstly, ever since 2018, when I left my employment of 12 years (and left status, friends and security behind too), I’ve felt the urge to write.  

The second is, I get asked “what is it that you really do, Helen?” quite a lot.

Perhaps I can answer the second question by meeting the first need. 

From Giles Turnbull’s fabulous ‘Working in the open’ course

Inspired and nudged by two wise people who showed up in my life briefly and recently (👆& 👇), I’m going to write about what I know, do and notice, and see where it goes. It will mostly be about the world of work and how we can make it more human. But also about freelance consulting, and a bit about having a family in all that too. Hopefully my collection of thoughts might be helpful to a few people at some point. 

“The metric is human connection. Are you creating human connection in what you do? When you notice the human connection, follow that.”

Pete Mosley, coach and author of ‘The Art of Shouting Quietly’, whom I met a week or so ago on my coaching course. That’s another blog post.

So here goes.
