Fancy joining some like-minded women in sustainability for a walk and coffee/cake networking event?
I'm hosting the first Women in Sustainability Cafe event in St Albans during the Sustainability Week in June.
It will be a great opportunity to meet like-minded local women who want to change the world!
We will walk around Verulamium Park and I'll offer a coaching exercise to address a current challenge you might have.
Then we'll head to George Street Canteen for coffee and cake and a chat.
Early bird tickets are available until the end of May.
Here is the link to book your place:

In my sketchbook this week...

I decided to use my sketchbook as a concentration tool. When I'm alone or with my family.
I realised a long time ago that the only way for me to pay attention during boring periods - waiting at the doctors, or for my food to arrive at a pizzeria, or even during class at school - was to draw.
So I usually take my sketchbook with me everywhere.
Here are two sketches done in those kinds of situations. As the artist says "everything is interesting when you draw it".
Even two tattered chairs.

It has been a looong while IG friends!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 🌳🌱🌿
I planned to make this year a slower, deeper year. And this for me involves getting outside more.
Most of us live over 90% of our lives indoors, detached from nature.
However, research demonstrates that spending more time outdoors - whatever the weather! - have beneficial effects on our mood, nervous system and bodies.

We are nature, and when we are outdoors we can rediscover this simple truth.

Being outdoors with no demands or responsibilities supports better and clearer thinking, and recharges our energies to be more productive when we are back at our desks.

With this 2023 series of guided walks in London and Hertfordshire, we want to stimulate some deep thinking and feeling about our unique role in the climate crisis, reflecting on a different theme inspired by the season each month, in a natural setting that will reconnect you with our precious planet.

We will use coaching tools and techniques, and creativity to gently guide you through the day, reconnect and focus on how you can make a real difference in the world.

This is a tale of kindness and connection.💚

A few days ago, I was invited to attend one of my coaching course diploma full-day sessions face to face.
I hadn't spent time face to face with people that aren't my family or friends for nearly two years.
I was excited and nervous at the same time.
Turned out, I felt incredibly conscious of the distance between me and my fellow coaches.
I developed a stomachache and I felt uneasy the whole day.
Over lunchtime, I was starstruck: I bumped into author and coach Jackee Holder, whom I admire: her column on Psychologies magazine and her webinars are illuminating; she reignited in me the lifesaving practice of journaling.
Jackee was teaching the other cohort of coaches.
I felt incredibly shy (who, me?!) but I gathered my courage and went to speak to her, said how much I love her work and how she helped me (unknowingly) with renewing my love of journaling. She was lovely and warm, and I felt better I made a connection.
The second day of the course, she came to me at lunchtime, and gave me two writing maps she published full of prompts to write in nature.
They are beautiful and inspiring, and she couldn't have known that I LOVE nature 💚 and my work is all about saving it from being destroyed. My heart swelled more than she could have expected.

Those two days felt serendipitous.
18 months of isolation from my fellow humans left me in a robotic state. I felt uneasy sharing a room with others.
The kind gesture of another human reopened my heart and melted that awful feeling.

The moral of the story is:
human connection is the most authentic way of being yourself. Make an effort to connect at a human level, be kind, show interest, show the most vulnerable part of yourself when safe to do so, and you'll see how you and others can change for the better.

PS you can buy the maps via Jackee's website jackeeholder.com
