As ever food @fishborough was delicious and the service great, but we were only there 2 hours - paid quite a big bill and once paid the waitress told us we had 5 minutes to vacate our table (with a vacant table next to us....) - Rethink #Fish!
If you havent been yet, do make time to visit @aliceinstone latest #exhibition in #Borough - its amazing!
Cant rate more highly my experience this morning with @British_Airways - called ref help with #specialassistance for my #autistic son - talked to a human! he couldnt have been more helpful - taking some of the stress out of travel - thank you!

Career change is iterative. You can’t line everything up in advance. You have to figure things out over time and make adjustments as you go.

Proud to attend the launch of this incisive and important report by @diabetesuk today showing how much there is to do for all generations and breaking the cycle for children and so much that can be done by us all.
Our Tackling Inequality report launches today 🙌
Over 100 people with #diabetes helped shape what actions people working in healthcare and government must take to tackle diabetes-related inequality 📣🧵
Great to see the work of #CIPD with recent launch of tinyurl.com/ye26az8t #mentstrualhealth at #work and hearing about progress on #menopause #employment - support is still low - most valued support is #flexibleworking - we need to focus on the #economic employment of #women
#CMI gold medal #award winner to #JamesTimpson - what an inspiration talking about #leadership and #kindness - humble, authentic with great humour

Today I led a debate calling for better autism and learning disability training for education staff.
@autism research reveals 87% of educators feel confident teaching autistic pupils but 7 in 10 autistic children said school would be better if more teachers understood autism.
Kicking off the #CMIPresidentsDinner amazing venue, eclectic crowd and such interesting #professionals - congrats @AnnFranckeCMI !
Many congrats to @MyPurpleSpace & @DiverseAdvice for a stunning launch for #IDPD - get lighting up purple for all things #disability on the 3rd Dec
Honoured - thank you -sustainabilitymag.com/articl… #Sustainability Magazine has listed the top 10 #diversity leaders who are challenging norms, fostering #inclusive cultures and empowering marginalised voices

As the #AISafetySummit closes, it's worth noting that there was no mention of #accessibility or #disability inclusion. It's critical that disabled people are included in the design of tomorrow's technology, as it should be for all marginalised communities.

Honoured - sustainabilitymag.com/articl… to see an organisation moving from 'D&I' to talking about the broader business picture - #ESG and #sustanability
Celebrating all things #halloween with a great #bookevent tonight with author @createworkjoy talking about her new book #work joy - a toolkit for a better #working life
Fascinating to listen to #bethstallwood talking about her book #workJoy - the average person spends 35% of their #working hours working!

I love this summary of #WorkingIdentity
This is how to reinvent your career during tough times:
1. Develop many possibilities of what you could become
2. Embrace the liminal period between past & uncertain future
3. Get going on projects
4. Work your dormant ties
5. Talk it out.
