#ProsperPE25

a person wearing a festival wristband is playing a game Alt: Someone moves an old-fashioned rolodex (where you put your business cards to keep them in a little filing cabinet on your desk). Next to it is a smart phone.

Call me old-fashioned, but I love business cards.

It's a classy way to introduce yourself.

Especially in the days of smart phones and LinkedIn (how soul less).

I was so impressed that at yesterday's #ProsperPE25 conference, two attendees had business cards on them.

I will treasure them!

Okay, this was yesterday. I was so busy with the panel, discussions and finally meeting people in person, I didn't share ANYTHING online about #ProsperPE25.

But let me tell you, it was brilliant. And if you didn't make it in 2025, then you must join in 2026!

Off to Manchester for #ProsperPE25, to share my experience of facilitating group-based career coaching programmes for our fabulous postdoctoral researchers.

And it's still as exciting and rewarding as on day 1.
