I first spotted this month’s guest, Dee Russell, talking about change on LinkedIn and I was delighted when they agreed to share their experience and tips with us.

On the way home after the CharityComms Inspiring Communicators awards at the end of February, I noticed a couple of people in front of me on the escalators at Reading station.

“I had met friends for the weekend and had to change trains on my journey home. I knew it was a short window to change trains and I jumped on a train only to realise it didn’t stop at my stop. It meant I’d have to go an hour up the line and an hour
My guest blog this month comes from the wonderful Rachel Stewart, a coach for career redesign. It’s a fascinating read of how we can take skills from one area of our life and apply them in a different context – in this case, the skill of thinking kindly. As a coach, my engagement with my
