Reflecting as another school year ends. Memories have popped up on social media. 6 years ago I was described as a gentle leader and quietly assertive. With everything that has happened, I had forgotten those descriptions.
Actually, really happy with those. I definitely lost myself for a while. I couldn’t be anything else and that was why I struggled so much. In my new role, I have reverted back to that version of me. The real me.
Just over 6 months. Never been happier. Spain, Italy, Canada and the USA. Really enjoying supporting schools with their safeguarding. Getting to grips with commuting and office life. Health improved. Strange how things can change so completely and unexpectedly.
I think the PM is a genuine guy. Great speech. A government of service. I hope so. Certainly feeling more hopeful than I have for a long time! Not going to be easy!!
