Between sessions and conversations, a moment in Paris.
The last few weeks have been intense and rewarding — working with new clients on communication, presence and impact.
Hearing how their messages are landing differently now is always the best part of the job.

This #InternationalWomensDay a reminder: women don’t need to apologise for taking up space.

No softening the point.
No self-deprecating preface.
No shrinking for fear of being seen as too much.

Our voices, ideas and leadership belong in the room. Own the space. 💜

Review of THE SHITHEADS by Jack Nicholls @royalcourt.

★★★★ 'a strange, macabre, properly funny piece of theatre about the human condition... that takes big swings, humorous & horrific, to remind us that we all do terrible things to survive.'

The theme for #HMD2026 is #BridgingGenerations — a reminder that remembrance is now our responsibility.
Today I remember my grandfather, Werner Scholem (1895–1940), a former German Reichstag member, executed in Buchenwald for standing up to Nazi oppression.
