🛠️ What Am I Doing?

In my last Now page update, I mentioned that I had an “away day” planned. It was fantastic and really helped me focus on preparing for the last quarter of this year, and beyond. I ended up staying on island due to the weather and recorded a short voice note about the experience.

As a result of my away day, I have decided to pause my live online events for now and redirect my energy into an alternative offer (coming soon; watch this space). I am also exploring a change of format for the newsletter.

I’ve connected with some interesting people this month, including Miriam, who presents and produces the Wontime podcast. We discussed the flawed concept of time management and shared actionable steps for effective self-management. I look forward to sharing the episode with you soon.

I delivered a new training session this month called Delivering Effective Feedback, which went well, as well as a few other sessions, including Public Speaking for the Terrified. My coaching clients continue to make fantastic progress (their progress is absolutely down to them; all I really do is give them space to think and explore).

My health (specifically fitness) continues to be a key focus for me. I have participated in two 10K races over the past month and have a half-marathon planned for April 2026. I want to ensure my regular running habit remains solid as the seasons change (running in the cold, wet, and dark can be rough).

I think that’s about it from me. I hope you’ve had a wonderful September.

📺 What Am I Watching?

I’ve just finished watching Parks and Rec (loved it) and am in the market for a new TV project. I’m curious about House of Guinness (as I loved Peaky Blinders) and have just started watching the first few episodes of The Office (American), but I’m not sure I can cope with the cringe levels.

🧠 What Am I Learning?

I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Squiggly Careers AI sprint earlier this month.

🎧 What Am I Listening to?

I’ve been enjoying Amy Poehler’s interview podcast, Good Hang (clearly, I have Parks and Rec withdrawal). I loved her interview with Olivia Coleman. I notice a new season of Louis Theroux’s podcast is coming up, so that’s something to look forward to. My favourite podcast episode from this month has been this one (essential listening).

📚 What am I Reading?

Take a look at what I am reading here: Martine’s Library. I have rediscovered my Kindle thanks to Silent Book Club.
