Reading Beth Kemptons delicious book – Calm Christmas and a Happy New year and starting the annual “what do you want to eat at Xmas?’’ conversations with my parents got me thinking on what this season is.

 

So, what is it?

What does it mean to you?

What could it mean to you?

 

And design the Christmas for you.

Be gentle.

Leatham Green is one of the very few people I would feel comfortable sending a blow up unicorn costume to and know that it would be received in good faith (well the video he sent me proves that to be the case).

An all round good human with such a story that blows me away every single time I hear it.

He’s a soul that has been here before, many times and, I am certain, every time he was here he made us all laugh AND wore impeccable hats.

Yeah, this is a musing from me, thinking on what we are tuning into.

I was tuning into my heart and wondering how this brain run world is working for us..

Jon Bartlett entered my constellation during Covid times and we have had many a chortle and brilliant conversation since (in the Zooomsphere).

He is a listener, coach and Time to think facilitator. Well that’s what his linked in says – he is a considerate developer of his own mind, his knowledge of different practises holds great depth and is incredibly far reaching.

 

He always brings another angle to our conversation.

I was first introduced to Nic's work by the delightful Bev Holden (check out her podcast conversation in the advent season).

I was scheduled to go on a course with him this year however had to move it so very much looking forward to that next year.

Honestly, I don’t even know what he actually does but my interactions with him so far have been wonderful and his poetry and filmography is sublime.

Lets stop this craziness of burnout!

Lets stop this busyness status symbol!!

Lets JUST STOP!

 

As a medal winner in burnout and stress I am delving deep into conversations with people about this illness/pandemic of stress. And its affecting a LOT of people.

 

This is by no means a deep dive in this podcast but more of a perfectly formed plea (read: rant) for us to take a break.

Bev Holden is a wonder.

There you go – that’s the shownotes done!

 

Bev Holden is one half of the Thinking Partnership (we interviewed Kate Miles Roberts in season 1) and creates space for thinking globally. Her brilliance is in her groundedness and generosity of heart and I learn tonnes when I spend time with her.

She is a Time to Think Coach and Facilitator amongst a gazillion other things.

I found this and I like it!

And everytime I think of muppets I think of my dear friend Kevin (as he always calls me a muppet) so I thought I would add this in.

Perry Timms is, according to LinkedIn, founder and Chief Energy Officer of People and Transformational HR Ltd (and a recent Bcorporation status!).
