7 year old me had a wonderful time at the newly opened Eden Project in 2001, next week nearly 30 year old me will be speaking in the tropical biome at @AnthropyUK about the power of purpose-led businesses in solving the world's great problems. So chuffed! @ClarasysLtd

A big thank you to @maisiehulbert @RuthWilkinson4 @crisortunity for providing insights, practical suggestions and encouragement. By the end of the session 70% could see relevance to their mission with the remainder wanting to reflect.

Day 16. I'll be honest, I'm praying Richard will go home soon. But I totally understand why he feels he can't. I admire his determination beyond words. Still, I'm hoping someone powerful will stand up and say: "It's OK Richard. We're on it. We'll take it from here." #FreeNazanin

'It made me think for the first time about the value a young Trustee might bring and to a Board' - It's amazing to read this feedback about the event @katelrxberts, @LauraButler2018 and I ran last week! Massive thanks to our amazing speakers @riannapatterson @pdpartnership! ⭐️

Other feedback: 'It was most useful hearing first hand from both the young trustee and the organisations to understand how they have overcome challenges'

I’m onto my second trusteeship and it’s vital for all of us to change the reality and also the perception of who can do it. Organisations need our views and expertise. #thisiswhatatrusteelookslike using my pal Jake for smiley clout - he’s a trustee too.

So proud to be at my 4th organisation after starting as a charity trustee aged 19, have learnt so much and the experience adds so much to my day job too! (The dog provides moral support and behind the scenes amusement) #ThisIsWhatATrusteeLooksLike

Nearly every world leader at #COP26 is male. The #patriarchy seems abstract until you realise that the future or humanity rests this week almost exclusively in the hands of men. @gailbradbrook #ClimateEmergency

Most guys don’t look in the mirror & see a problem. But it’s staring us in the face. Sexual violence begins long before you think it does. #DontBeThatGuy

Thank you to @MikeClarkeEDI, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Partner at @macmillancancer, for holding a talk for us today about #BlackHistoryMonth - it was really informative to hear more about your experiences working in EDI, and what Black history means to you.
