Reflections from the SDF Festival of Learning & Development 2025 I came away from last week feeling really inspired – here are some of the insights, takeaways, and a few sketch notes from the sessions that really stayed with me … Authentic Team Leadership for Trans...

24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images.

The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

If you see this post you deserve a new book 🤗

A great 2 days of learning so far at SDF Festival of Learning & Development … looking forward to day 3! Thank you @sdfacuk.bsky.social & to all the inspirational key note speakers 👏👏👏

Poppies for remembrance. Honouring all those who served and sacrificed. 🌺

I didn’t get round to posting this semi-abstract field of poppies mini artwork, which I painted on Remembrance Sunday.

It was good fun, involving a spray bottle and using a tooth brush for mini splatters to begin!

Day 1: SDF Festival of Learning & Development.

We are excited our annual festival is finally here. With some inspiring Keynotes and Workshops. Supported by our fantastic partners:

Great and energising start to the day with a (rare, child free!) mini 7:30am morning workout at the gym - so glad I did it! 🙌

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… !!🎄 Lovely evening with friendly folk at Connecting HR North East in beautiful Durham city. Home just in time for the Celebrity Traitors final 🙌

1/3 It’s Not Magic is finally out in the world.

This day has been a long time coming. Seeing my scribbles and notes come to life like this has been emotional, challenging and sometimes exhausting. But mostly, I’m grateful that it’s now in your hands.

We are The Times and The Sunday Times University of the Year 2026 and ranked third overall in its Good University Guide. Congratulations to our global university community on this success. 🎉

This week’s flex work highlights - going into work (doorstep to retail world = buying random things like dog frisbees on special offer for big pup! 🐶) … 🆚 working from home and getting myself to uni gym on lunch break for a free week’s pass (plus getting to play frisbee before work!). Goals ☑️

Altruistic August - Day 30: Give away something to help those who don't have as much as you actionforhappiness.org/altruistic-a... #AltruisticAugust

Illustrated artwork by Little Sisters Studio featuring colourful flowers framing the words “Spread kindness around like wildflowers.

“You can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness.” Anne Frank

Kindness can be shown in the simplest of ways.

A smile, a thank you, a word that makes someone’s day lighter.
