Part of my identity for the last 20 years has been someone who works in the NHS but for now I am putting my NHS badge down. At the time it felt like a huge decision to leave the NHS or not but having had time to work it through it no longer feels like a big decision. Like identity, the human mind is malleable which means we have capacity to adapt, learn and be moulded. I’m really excited to see how I will be moulded by the third sector. Time for a new chapter…

I’ve been listening to some podcasts on AI recently and as a result have comitted myself to no longer using AI to write my posts for me. In a world where we are increasingly taking on multiple work roles it’s tempting to look for the shortcuts but what I’ve heard that resonated heavily is that the thinking process matters. I’m having a giggle at myself for not remembering the obvious. I’m a Coach, of course the thinking process matters. I actually enjoy the thinking process. Where are you taking a shortcut, when really, your depriving yourself of the beautiful thinking process?

Over the past few months I’ve been fortunate to take part in the Organisational Development Seminars: Exploring Personal and Team Effectiveness at Work with Salis Consulting.
The course introduced a systems psychodynamic approach to understanding organisations, encouraging us to think beyond surface-level workplace behaviours and consider the wider emotional and relational dynamics operating within systems.
I found the learning particularly valuable in helping me reflect on themes such as authority, role, boundaries, group behaviour and how organisational environments can shape both performance and experience at work.
It has given me a deeper appreciation of the complexity of workplace systems and the importance of reflective thinking in organisational life.
Grateful to Tabitha Arulampalam for the discussions, challenge and learning throughout.

To some, running in the rain is miserable.
To others, it’s energising.
Same conditions. Different perspective.
That’s why coaching matters.
When we become more flexible in our thinking, we open ourselves to new possibilities, better decisions, and different ways forward.
Perspective shapes experience.

As I begin to say some goodbye’s it has got me reflecting on what anchors us as leaders.
For me, I think one anchor is the relationships.
Being a relational leader means investing in people, often without knowing where those connections will lead. It means choosing trust, vulnerability, and genuine curiosity over certainty and control. As one chapter closes and another begins, there's a sense of being temporarily unanchored. And if I'm honest, that's uncomfortable. Being unanchored isn't about losing our way but it's about having the courage to discover what's next. Until there is a change we rarely stop to consider what the anchor is. What’s yours?

Yesterday in my Associate Lecturer hat 🎩 I was working with a group of inspiring leaders. Facilitating group coaching to develop self-awareness by creating a space for honest conversations, deeper understanding, and growth that went beyond the theory. Working in diverse teams, it felt relevant to bring the Wheel of Privilege. It was powerful to witness the shift that happened when leaders paused to consider their own position on the wheel, and how their experiences have shaped the way they lead, listen, and connect with others.

One of the reasons I love this work is the real impact it can have, challenging perspectives and supporting meaningful growth.

I’m preparing to deliver a workshop that feels more important than ever right now:

How do social workers care for themselves while holding onto their values in the face of moral distress?

In practice, social workers are often navigating impossible tensions — between what they believe is right, what systems allow, and what people truly need. Over time, that gap can take a real toll on wellbeing.

This session creates space to explore:
• What moral distress actually looks and feels like in day-to-day work
• How values can both anchor and strain us
• Practical ways to protect wellbeing without disconnecting from purpose
• The role of reflection, boundaries, and collective support

This isn’t about quick fixes or “self-care” as an afterthought. It’s about sustaining the people who are doing deeply human, complex work every day.

If you’re a social worker, leader, or organisation thinking about how to better support your teams — I’d love to connect.

I asked AI what my podcast library says about me…

Care about self-improvement and helping others grow.
Enjoy deep, meaningful conversations over surface-level content.
Are probably career- or purpose-driven.
Like content that blends psychology, leadership, and practical insight.
If I had to sum it up: you’re not just listening to pass time—you’re listening to learn, reflect, and evolve.

I think it’s a good match for how I see myself. What does yours say about you?

All of the People, All of the Time: Today I attended an Anti-Racism in Leadership Conference and I’m leaving with a deep sense of both clarity and responsibility. Anti-racist leadership is not a stance we take once, but a practice we return to—again and again—in how we think, lead, and design systems. Today reinforced that to lead with integrity requires ongoing reflection, courage to be challenged, and the discipline to notice where systems (and we ourselves) may be unintentionally reinforcing inequity. Equity is not an “add-on” to leadership, but should be embedded in how decisions are made, how power is held, and how voices are heard. I’m especially holding onto the reminder that this work is both personal and structural. It lives in conversations, in choices, in the moments where we choose to pause, question, and act differently.
I’m grateful to have been in a space that was both challenging and grounding. I’m taking this forward in my practice with leaders: to listen more deeply, to name what is often left unsaid, and to continue supporting leadership that is both reflective and accountable.
