Great question!
- intentionality. meditation. introspection. Why do I say that? Is that a good thing to say? Iterate
- watch storytelling standup comedy. Think of storytellers you like, dissect the why
- pause more. Squeeze pauses. Why does the pause exist
- map out the story arc
Heading off to Russell today for the first event in the Ocean Swim series!

On Wednesday night I won the Best Speech trophy, by reading Miss 15’s creative writing story to the group. 🎉
What are you doing on the 5th November? I assume attending the Global Day of Coderetreat at the Pushpay office (though its only 1/2 day for us this year). Come along, meet some new people, and practise the craft of coding.

All my photos are automatically backed up to the cloud, like everyone’s should be. However I forgot that we’re on a family plan, so everyone can see them… 😱
Last night I had a swimming race with my 15yr daughter. She was disrespectful and beat me. By a lot. She is now no longer allowed to go swimming. #authoritative-parenting

Flying back home today. Not really looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow, holiday mode was only just starting to kick in.
This is a neat post about the challenge of getting a promotion to a more senior level.

Today I ran (mostly walked!) my most challenging parkrun yet - the Lawson parkrun near Sydney. It was mostly hill, and very rocky, muddy and wet. Thanks to Run Director Mark Hibbard and your team.

The next AKL .NET event will be both in person (with pizza!) and streamed on zoom. I hope you can make it along! buff.ly/3CXEaad

Book recommendations from last #NDCSydney session this year. All about giving feedback except the one at the end, about receiving it
I read the first 3 from the right & I know I need to read them again! Nonviolent Communication has a special place in my heart
Thanks @mightymuke

"Year after year, we get amazing interns."
We talk with Marcus Bristol from Pushpay, who onboarded 3 interns this summer.
He shares why taking on interns has been rewarding for the team and the value they provide to their organisation.

Every so often I see a Twitter thread where a new manager asks for advice, and inevitably, someone in the comments below says something to the effect of, "hire awesome people, listen to them and get out of their way"
Let me tell ya, this is not advice. It's wishful thinking

Caitlin is pledging to walk 50km by the end of September and is trying to raise $500 for Diabetes NZ. Please donate if you have a few dollars to spare and would like to help her 🙂
