A day or so in London, this time for the Events industry, Cross Association, DEI Working Group. People in the events world never cease to amaze me. How they can be unfazed by challenges, and deal with them with a confident smile and a plan almost as if the unexpected is expected. The fact that that it was also the first day for Catherine Beck as Chair of a large industry cross networking group when the main speaker is suddenly unable to attend, demonstrates not only her resourcefulness, but also that in their world there is no translation for the word crisis! There was so much to glean from the meeting. This is an industry going through change and it means doing something we focus on a lot in Mindsmith Thinking, changing perspective. It was great to hear how companies were improving, staffing to address the effects of the long hours culture,the way age and experience are viewed, and continuing to push the boundaries with flexible working and paternity leave. All necessary steps in an industry that has to be creatively focused on outcomes, but having a growing realisation that people organisations are having to become equally creative with the talent that produces them. The Chair concluded with the clarion call for "less talk, more action". This is a group where things will happen, in an industry in need of the ideas and support. A really productive meeting hosted at the New Scientist Building and thanks to the AEO Association of Event Organisers and ESSA team for making the arrangements.

Acknowledge. Embrace. Appreciate. Celebrate. These four words have been echoing in my mind lately, especially as I take some time out of my schedule to nominate some truly wonderful people for the Nursery Management Today NMT Awards. It's so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday work that we sometimes forget to give credit where it's due. But recognising the efforts of those around us is more than just a nice gesture - it's essential. When we take the time to acknowledge and celebrate others, we not only lift them up but also create a culture of positivity and encouragement. So, today, I'm making it a point to embrace this opportunity to show appreciation for the people who inspire and motivate me. Let's face it, we're all in this together, and it's important to celebrate the wins, big or small. After all, a rising tide lifts all boats, and by celebrating others, we're all lifted higher. 😊 Have you thought about who you can acknowledge today? Let’s make it a habit! #NMTawards #CelebrateSuccess #TeamSpirit

In today's world of thought leadership, advocacy is emerging not just as a strategy but as a responsibility. As leaders with the power of influence, we've got this incredible power to sway opinions and advocate for tangible, meaningful change. If there’s one thing I’ve been reminded of this year it’s that your voice has the power to shape the future. It’s up to you to use it to create the world you wish to live in.
