Having just spent a pleasant hour over WhatsApp being interviewed for a paper in the "Board Best Practice® series Advisory Boards" I thought I would share a thought or two.

Contributing through coaching is quite special.  You build a relationship, understand the person, explore new thinking and you always get something back.

Contributing further afield to documents that might be read by hundreds or if lucky thousands is an odd feeling.  Who will these people be?  Will any of them get in contact? what will be the changes they make because of reading the document and have they worked out for the better?

Finally, I am preparing for my first outing to the RAeS in the capacity of a committee member for the Education and Skills committee.  The plan is to contribute to the RAeS' influence on education and skills.  Am really looking forward to that.
