This week I have two away days. 1. My teams and another team to strengthen their relationships, focus on how they work better together and talk about the future. 2. Whole org where I will spend a good bit of time listening and learning. An ask the SMT session - always brings interesting questions

Three kids worth of den.

Winning at this parenting malarkey 👊

Young Stacey had more legible writing than she has now.

Some fun time with the kids, my sister, bro in law and niece and nephew. I had all the fun feeding birds and sea lions

Overall, it was a positive week. In discussions about future panel sessions and chances for talks on my current areas of expertise. I discussed why I've stayed in Defence for 25+ years. I've done so many things, and people let me learn without a degree or technical qual. Always learning 🥰

Here I am thinking and listening very, very hard. Phew! I am very pleased to have done this panel, and I (genuinely) hope to do others in the future.

Gone with smart but not smart enough to have left my trainers at home. Hopefully the panel will have a great discussion.

Pretty excited (and poor now) to have Kylie tickets
