Thought-provoking and valuable leadership away day on Tuesday. Focussing on:
💭 What do we want to achieve this year?
💭 How do we align with the organisation's goals?
💭 How can we improve collaboration?

Lots still to think about, lots of motivation to crack on with everything, lots of gratitude for being part of a fantastic team.

The most clever, original design I've come across for a while: on the Victorinox website, users can easily see how large a knife is by comparing it to common household items like an iPhone, a mug, or a wine bottle.

This makes it much easier for customers to make an informed decision about whether the product is right for them, without guessing or hunting for a tape measure. I'd bet Victorinox have fewer returns to process as a result too!

53 books completed this year (and I'm optimistic I'll get through 2 more before we reach 2023!).

What have you read and what was your favourite?

Phew. Tough, but productive, week.

🤒 I'm fighting a bad cold

🐶 I'm dog- and house-sitting

📈 I'm gathering evidence to promote a member of my team

🎉 I'm wrangling friends for our annual get-together

🌱 I'm accepting that I can't do it all — after an honest chat with a Scrum Master, then my manager, I've accepted that I've spread myself too thin and the quality of my work is suffering (as well as my wellbeing). I hate admitting 'failure' but I'm proud I've asked for help.

Can't beat a quick and easy hike, especially when the end reward is something this beautiful!
