Things have moved on a lot since I last shared an update, so there’s a lot to cover this month:
First, I am glad to see the announcement of ALT’s next CEO meet with such warmth and welcome! It’s been great to see Members and stakeholders welcome Billy Smith, and it’s been good for me to start working with Billy as we begin our handover. If you don’t already, follow Billy on social media and find out more about the transition on Billy’s blog!
I’m now in my last three months of this transition, as I’ll be stepping down as CEO in early September ahead of my last day later that month.
The next three months feel like a gift! I get to work with my team, with Members and with many volunteers ahead of ALT’s 30th Annual Conference (book your ticket and join us) and enjoy this exciting, busy time once more before starting my new chapter.
My job has been hugely rewarding over the past 15 years and I have had so many moments of joy, so much that I have been part of, so many milestones achieved that the time I have left now feels like the icing on the cake. The proverbial cherry on top. A time to share what organisational knowledge is useful before things move on in a new direction.
Preparing for my new career chapter
I’ve now completed the next step in my formal coach training this month. Working with more and less experienced coaches and mentors has been super inspiring for me as I develop my own approach and what aspects of coaching I want to focus on.
Unfortunately everyone at home has been sick for the past week or two, but hopefully we will feel better again soon as we prepare for the summer!
