The Fifth Element

Another vote for Starling. I had a NatWest account first but they so often refused my transactions it got annoying. I use SAAS tools in dollars and they kept flagging them as suspicious transactions

Top-down redesign and reorganization is more successful when it’s supported by bottom-up boundary spanning.

From Networking to Boundary Spanning In "From Networking to Boundary Spanning: How You Can Get Results Inside Large Organizations," Kitty Wooley, M.A., PMP, shares the techniques, mindset, and self-talk she practiced for forty-five years to ignore silos and refine her ability to build bridges at work. After nearly a decade in college administration, Kitty began working at the U.S. Department of Education, where she remained for nineteen years. Positions in San Francisco and Washington, D.C., involved work as an institutional review specialist, risk specialist, and management and program analyst. While in government, Kitty wrote articles for "The Public Manager" and served on the planning committee for several Excellence in Government conferences. Additionally, she is the author of "Four New Models of Networked Leadership Development" in "Innovations in Human Resource Management: Getting the Public's Work Done in the 21st Century," published in 2009 by M.E. Sharpe—Vol. 8 in the National Academy of Public Administration book series, Transformational Trends in Governance and Democracy. Kitty is a member of the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA), where she represents Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming on ASPA's National Council. Through her own Senior Fellows and Friends network, Kitty has connected and convened a global network of motivated high performers since 2003. Twelve years into retirement, her boundary-spanning acumen generates more opportunity than ever. No matter who you are or where you are in your career, you can learn specific ways to improve your ability to work across boundaries in your organization and get results that matter. Readers from entry-level employee to executive will find helpful tips and suggestions geared toward their unique challenges here. The common denominator is the desire to have more opportunity and greater impact at work by making silos irrelevant, through the practice of boundary spanning that puts the mission first. As boundary spanners develop this expansive, niche capability, they increase their organization's collaborative capacity to solve hard crosscutting problems. In the meantime, their career networks quietly grow and flourish.

I'm looking forward to reading "From Networking to Boundary Spanning: How you can get results inside large organizations" by @kwooleyy.bsky.social. You can get it here store.bookbaby.com/book/from-ne.... It is likely to appeal to quite a few of you here

Finding my phone is the killer app (!) for me, I don’t use the light as much in this place as the last, I’ve used it to pay for things a couple of times recently when I have left all other methods at home, answering the phone when it is my Dad etc etc.

I got out of the habit during lockdown and so I would read until bored then play a mindless game on my phone until bored, repeat. That built up my ability to read for longer

Progress is never linear.” “I’m not sure it’s good, either.” “Some is, some isn’t. But one must always move forward. Discard what doesn’t work and embrace what does. Do more of what does.”

I’m campaigning for a public inquiry into Section 28. A law that banned ‘the promotion of homosexuality’ leading students to grow up in silence and no positive images of lgbtq+ people
