A HUGE THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has ever hired me, supported or championed me over the past 10 years! 🙏🏽😊

It has been a privilege & joy working with such a variety of people & clients & in such a variety of roles & environments.

I have worked in the capacity of tutor, mentor, facilitator, trainer, presenter, very occasionally as a teacher, and led workshops. It has been so meaningful & fulfilling.

And on the very few occasions when something has not been & I have encountered clients with a particular attitude, I have called time on it! That is the freedom & luxury of self-employment & I feel very grateful for that. Saying no is very empowering & liberating.

I am not planning on doing another ten years 😂 Just a few more, yes, and scaled back to working freelance directly with a couple of national nonprofit organizations in the capacity of education consultant.

I am so incredibly lucky & grateful to love the work that I do as a self-employed, freelance education consultant. I love the variety & the travel 😊

Autumn Term 2025 saw me traveling to South Birmingham, Nuneaton, Oldbury, Lichfield, Stratford Upon Avon, Aston, Erdington, Burton On Trent, Worcester, Leamington Spa, North Birmingham and East Birmingham! 🚙🚊

I love returning to places for repeat bookings, as it shows that the work I do is appreciated & valued by the schools 🙏🏽 I also enjoy reconnecting in person with my contacts within those schools 😊 But I equally enjoy meeting new people too! 🤝

Christmas 2023, when I had completed one year with the client I collaborate with the most, I was amazed to receive a box of chocolates delivered to my door and a card from Hotel Chocolat as a thank you in recognition of the hard work we do as freelance consultants.

I love this role and the freedom it gives me, as well as the presenting work itself. But it is hard work, liaising with schools on a regular basis to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day, double-checking that they understand what will be needed on the day, following up and sending out evaluation links.

That is all in addition to initial liaising to create the bespoke booking for each school, preparing and packing all of the resources for the workshops plus the travel, which I enjoy, but can be long.

So I was thrilled to receive this years Hotel Chocolat Reindeers and will savour them now the festivities are over! 🎄😋

☀️ Morning Ritual Part 4 ☀️

1. 4 X Box Breath
2. 4 X Gratitudes
3. 4 X Stretching

So the (delayed!) 4th & final pillar to give your day solid foundations is to set intentions.

Having studied language & linguistics at uni, semantics have always been on my radar. So when I heard about neurolinguistic programming (NLP) around 2000, it resonated & made perfect sense.

The final thing I do before I get out of bed in the morning is to visualize my day ahead going brilliantly, with a happy smile on my face and state 4 things that are happening that day and frame them positively.

EG
My trains run on time and my journeys go smoothly 😊
The students are engaged & enjoy the workshop 😊
I eat healthily all day & stay hydrated 😊
I have time to exercise & enjoy strengthening my body 😊

Usually at this point, I am feeling motivated and already pulling the covers back, ready to start my day 😃☀️

📷 Last November I took the very first train of the morning, at 6.20am! A first for me! Thought I’d photograph it as evidence! 😂
