Here's a podcast you might not have on your radar and if you are interested in careers and what does and doesn't make you happy, listen to this. Especially mid career women exploring 'the squiggly career'Featuring Gemma Lines of insurers MS Amlin 100womenininsurance.com/e/031-top-netw…
Just had minor procedure Whittington Health NHS Trust and it's been lovely seeing such a smart functional day surgery unit work so seamlessly together. The teamwork and staff camaraderie has been something to behold. The way we describe and speak of the NHS London NHS needs more nuance.
Slightly surprised to bump into a political posse including Sadiq Khan Mayor's Press Office in my road as I walked along with the dog..to vote. They seem to be supporting their candidate 'informally'. Lots of earpieces on the move etc etc.
Especially good to hear views on Shelagh Fogarty show the impact that zero choice zero hours have on young people: it exhausts and burns them out fast. the workplace is beyond recognition and so needs totally new systems and systems thinking. #workingassumptions
I couldn't be more excited for this year's PrimadonnaFest. Such a great line-up including Sinéad Gleeson Monisha Rajesh 🍉 Chimene Suleyman Kat Brown Julia Hobsbawm Josephine Fairley Doon Mackichan, Jane Savidge, Michael Donkor & more. Joy! Truly the world as it should be, for one weekend
There were many work highlights this week for me. Possibly one of them was Richard Ovenden asking me to sign my own book for him at the launch party! Possibly another is the idea, always the holy grail of any writer: oh my good, this one is really landing with people.
'We’re saturated with talk about the arrival of AI and the changes coming to everything we do. But the way the tech industry communicates, those changes appear to be largely in the future, with benefits that make sense only if you’re baked out of your mind' - The Washington Post…
People are eating the cake literally and the book on which the cake was made is being consumed which is so pleasing...I wish Dolly Parton did indeed say 'I read this from 9-5' but anyway.... #workingassumptions
Jimmy McLoughlin 🐑🇺🇦: 'There's a paradox at the heart of the world of careers. There's never been more equal access to information. An Oxford Don knows how to use tech to extrapolate the information to accelerate their career, but a kid from a working-class background might not.'
If Julia Hobsbawm & Jimmy's Jobs had a Mastermind specialist subject it would definitely be the #futureofwork 🔮
Here’s what you missed at our breakfast event celebrating the launch of Julia’s new book - Working Assumptions.
