Welcome

Whether you’re here for a familiar voice or stumbled in, perhaps looking for another door entirely, welcome.

We might use different language. Perhaps you turn up to be helpful, or useful, to others. Or to support or care. Or facilitate, coach, lead, mentor or just somehow make a difference.

We might be from different professions. Perhaps you have studied to be doing what you do. Or learned on the job. Or from life. Or, very likely, a combination of all three.

We might be doing different things. Maybe you work in a role dedicated to supporting people going through tough times or experiencing an opportunity to grow. Or perhaps, whatever you do, you just want to do it with kindness and consideration.

Turning up to support others is to enter a relationship. And like any relationship we need to give attention to what’s going on in our half – the good, the bad, and the “wow, OK, I didn’t expect that”.

These short blogs offer a chance to take a breath, slow down and reflect. Some may resonate, some may not. Even that can be interesting. Perhaps a blog that underwhelms today may be relevant at another time. Or one that feels valuable today will be outgrown tomorrow.

I hope you enjoy this contribution to our community of people who care about people. And I trust you’ll take from this what you find helpful and leave anything that isn’t.
