In February I shared the news<\/a> that I will step down as ALT\u2019s CEO this September to focus on my work as a coach. This is a monthly update on how things are progressing from my perspective, sharing some of the experiences along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on the past month at ALT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

April had a very busy start indeed, as it was time for this year’s OER Conference. No matter how busy it was, OER23 was a blast, and I loved every minute of it. It was a special pleasure this year as this was my last big event as CEO. If you’d like to read more of my personal take on the conference, then head over to the dedicated post<\/a> and, check out #OER23 on social media for lots of interesting conversations and folk involved in the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recruitment panel who will appoint the next CEO of ALT is chaired by Professor Helen O\u2019Sullivan. My part was to meet candidates for informal conversations about the role, and I enjoyed these meetings very much. With the interview process now underway, everyone has been involved in the preparations for these and you can feel the excitement, and nerves, mounting a little. The prospect of meeting the new CEO of ALT is now becoming a very real thing. ALT will be announcing the new CEO in early summer and you’ll have the opportunity to meet them at ALT’s Annual Conference this September. So look out for news #altc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than that, my day to day work continues very much as usual. We are busily induction new members of staff, planning for ALT’s 30th anniversary and Annual Conference this September, and I have a lot of travel coming up, too. As well as attending events this month, I really enjoyed seeing my whole staff team in person for a site visit and lunch. It’s a rare pleasure for us as a mainly virtual team to get together in person, and I value those elements of blended collaboration and catching up very much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s else is happening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With so much going on at work, I’m mindful of setting some goals and engaging in activities that aren’t work related: I’m finally getting back to regular running (having recovered from a serious injury last year) and thinking of signing up for some races to have additional motivation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m also really looking forward to joining formal coach training<\/a> from May, and spending my Saturday evenings with fellow coaches across different time zones. This is the final part of my formal training before I can apply for ICF accreditation, and I am excited about developing my practice further in the coming months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And… not to forget my side project at the moment, a podcast-based course<\/a> all about How to Lead Virtual Teams. It’s been fun designing something completely new to me and I am learning a lot as the course develops. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
