How are you “winning” this month?

Hey all! I’m back from holiday - you might have noticed I was pretty quiet for the last week! :shushing_face:

I wasn’t on a tropical island - last week the photography exhibit I co-produced launched at the Herrick Gallery in Mayfair. It’s a collaboration with one of Prince’s photographers and so we had a whole week of launch events - a media/VIP launch with people from Cosmo, Vogue, and quite a few famous UK soul artists, many of whom worked with Prince. Then we had a few days of Q&A sessions for fans that were sold out. If any of you happen to live/work near Mayfair, the gallery is right by Green Park station and the exhibit is on until the 9th.
To top it off, I got interviewed for The New York Times as well last week so that’s one off the old bucket list!

I think that’s more than enough excitement for both Feb and March so now it’s my first day back at work and I’m going to get my head down and crack on. I managed to barely look at Slack all week so now I’ve got to spend a few hours trying to catch up on all the millions of things that happened here. Seriously, a week away from this place feels like a year in "regular’ time.

So, what’s everyone been up to? What are your plans for March? Anything exciting coming up?

Sounds great- congratulations on it all!

Nothing too exciting, apart from the London Coffee Festival at the end of the month. Looking forward to that!

Around 250 roasters, shops, baristas, machines and food stalls! Cocktails and artwork too. Website here! Really enjoyed it last year - although rolled back on the caffiene when I could actaully feel my heart rate increasing…

Thanks Simon!

Now I’m within the organisation, I’m hoping to be able to easily work towards the role I really want to do, which I’ve yet to figure out. I’ve also crossed three items off my bucket list so far and I’m aiming to get two more checked off by the end of this year.

I finally made the decision to change career paths as I really dislike the job I am in at the moment. Got I touch with some potential employers and people in my network and have a few interviews lined up. I feel like I am now in control of my life.

My brother and sister have made amends after years of not talking to one another and the 3 of us are taking my mum out to dinner for her birthday this month without her knowing :smiley:

She’s going to love it!
