Through the Phases

Resource Writing

I’ve been working closely with some colleagues on a project due for completion later this year.  We’re determined to get the resource finished on time and so decided to block 3 days out of our calendar this week.  It was extremely productive concentrating solely on the resource and time well spent.  We managed to review all the material we have, create a skeleton structure and start highlighting what might fit where.  we also managed to fully organise our showcase event.  Watch this space – Collaborating Across Boundaries.

Presenting & Facilitating(ish)

I was in attendance at a recent event where I was presenting on work my more formal team are responsible for – Business and Community Engagement.  It was a fantastic day and I felt my presentation went well.  I also took part in various group activities in which I played a facilitation role.  I prepared quite well in that I had thought through some questions and answers to provoke conversation although I rarely had to call upon them.

Google Analytics

I’m involved with a small working group looking at future technologies and we were lucky enough to have some input from an expert in Google Analytics give us an in-depth tour of what’s possible.  I’ll try to write this up in a later blog post

Sport Galore

I’ve been watching loads of football and loving it!  the world cup absolutely rocks and even though England could only manage a draw I remain hopeful.  I was really impressed by Ghana and thought Germany were fantastic.   It was also a great weekend for us Brits in F1.  Hamilton and Button were awesome!

Homemade Fat Balls

Ver and I made some homemade fat balls this weekend.  Hope the birdies like them!  We used a recipe from the BBC.
