This week has been an emotional week of highs and lows, introspection, reflection and customer engagement.

🎓 - I spent one day this week in the office with some of my fellow senior managers in the first day or a two-day facilitated executive training. This was the usual round insights reports, objective setting and working though shared challenges. Despite having done this sort of thing before I did find it very useful, it was high quality training and it gave me a few things to polish up my management pack content.

⛯ - For a second day in the office, I sent most of it with a single customer. They have recently had some management changes and this was an opportunity for a reset and a look to the years strategy with them. I wish more of the organisations I worked with took the time to pause for 5 minutes, take a breath and think about what they want to do over the next couple of years and then building a plan based on that. Well, that’s unfair, maybe they do, but it’s nice to be brought into the conversation at the beginning rather than just at the execution end.

🐶🪦 - Friday was a really sad day. We had to have my 11-year old King Charles spaniel, Maude, euthanised. She had not been well for some time but it had gotten a lot worse over the past couple of weeks. The family and I are rightly devastated. Having the weekend to recover has been useful.
