What does it mean to be "cool"? And can you fake it?
Fun (and research-based!) article from Elle Hunt (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/oct/30/can-i-learn-to-be-cool-even-though-i-am-garrulous-swotty-and-wear-no-show-socks) in the Guardian.

Are you a facilitator? Add your voice to SessionLab's "State of Facilitation" survey. They use it to create an annual report about facilitation and more voices (and more diverse voices) would be grand!
🧠 #todayilearned The weird and wonderful things I come across whilst doing "real work".
Today I learned that "Notburga" is a Germanic name meaning "one who protects" associated with the Austrian saint Notburga of Rattenberg, associated with charity and care for the poor.
You're welcome! 😊
