A post for the bookworms! 🐛 I’m out of series in my book shelf, and need recommendations.

So far, my favourite books all have the same underlying thing going on:

Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling): brilliant character psychology and trying to solve humans like puzzles.

Douglas Adams: complete absurdity with uncomfortably insightful truths about humanity and office politics. More, please 😅

Tolkien: entire worlds that give instant escape into a place where things like honour still matter.

Narnia and Harry Potter basically raised me, (yeah, that explains a lot 😂)

I love stories where characters feel painfully real and the plot can emotionally clothesline you without warning. 🤷‍♀️

So your turn…

What’s the next series I should disappear into? 📚

Kicking off the week looking at the speaker roster… and woohoo we have some incredible sessions coming your way! Everything from AI adoption in admin roles, strategic partnership, executive presence, how to come back after redundancy… big topics, and we aren’t pulling any punches 👊

Today was Session 2 in our Microsoft 365 workshop series with Marianne Tansley. The topic was MS Teams, and it was brilliant! Practical, smart, and full of those little fixes that save hours of frustration later.

And building on this, there is one topic causing widespread workplace emotional damage:

Where should files actually live?

🤷‍♀️ OneDrive?

🤷‍♀️ Teams?

🤷‍♀️ SharePoint?

🤷‍♀️ The desktop?

🤯 An email from 2022?

So next up in the series:

📁 Where Should This Live?

Understanding OneDrive, SharePoint & Teams

This session is for anyone tired of guessing, searching, re-saving, duplicating, or whispering “for the love of God” at their screen.
