4 a.m. wake up call to catch my flight from Barcelona to London. ✈️

Worth it (and I got to see a beautiful sunrise)!

Day 1 of my three-day facilitation training with Julia Slay, and already so many insights, reflections, and sparks of inspiration.

As an experiential learner, experiencing firsthand other people facilitating is such a brilliant way to learn new ways of engaging and new ways of working. The group is also so diverse - from creatives like me to software engineers and even navy officers... collective wisdom is definitely going to be a very powerful resource over the next few days.

Some words that stuck with me from the day:
