The sun came out, we saw a few friends in the garden and opened the first ros\u00e9 of the year. However, I am hoping that my current obsession with hot cross buns and Mini Eggs will pass soon.<\/p>\n<p>More generally it feels like everything is moving in the right direction and there is momentum on all fronts.<\/p>\n<p>Platform, the brand agency I set up with Justin Tindall last year has really taken off; we\u2019ve started working with a raft of great new clients in the last few months. All very different \u2013 scale ups to global brands, all choosing wisely to invest heavily in brand as the world changes and markets become ever more disrupted.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also three months into my new role as Non-Exec Chair at Onside Law, a great team of people. We have just announced a very exciting partnership with Women In Football, to be their second Corporate Member hot on the heels of Brighton &amp; Hove Albion FC, which I\u2019m really happy about. (obviously!)<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also just completed a 100km running challenge in March and raised over \u00a31,600 for Breast Cancer Now. I turned 49 this month, the same age my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer, so it felt like a positive way to remember her and get my running legs back in gear.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you working from home or the office? If both, what\u2019s the split like?<\/strong><br \/>\nAll working from home. Home office that is. I don\u2019t really have an office to go to anymore to be honest and it\u2019s been that way since lockdown began last March. \u00a0Justin and I work remotely and from our client\u2019s offices when permitted.<\/p>\n<p>However &#8211; as of this week I\u2019ll be spending a few days a week back at a very cool shared work-space in the Witterings called Surf &amp; Work; I joined last summer and love it there &#8211; a really good crowd of people and cool vibes. (and yes, there is a rack for your board)<\/p>\n<p>But pretty soon I also think I\u2019ll be going into the Onside Law offices a couple of times a month. \u00a0So once this all starts, it will be a nice mix and far less solitary than it has been this last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where do you work? What\u2019s the environment like?<\/strong><br \/>\nUpstairs office with great views over the South Downs. I\u2019m very lucky.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who are you looking out for at the moment?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy two children, aged 12 and 14, pretty self-sufficient, but I also keep a close eye on an elderly neighbour (94) who is pretty amazing, but you never know so I pop my head round or call most days.<\/p>\n<p>The kids are significantly happier now they are back at school and even more recently now that they are back playing team sport \u2013 but then aren\u2019t we all!<\/p>\n<p>Although he\u2019s miles away in Newcastle, my elderly dad is a constant worry \u2013 I haven\u2019t been able to see him for a whole year which is just awful; he\u2019s been in and out of hospital and now has dementia and has had to be moved from sheltered housing to a care home. Only my brother can see him; just all a bit rubbish really, but it\u2019s like that for so many people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How have you changed as a manager? As a person?<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring lockdown I think we all learnt to focus far more on the positives and shorten your horizons. It has been difficult to look beyond the end of the week at times. I\u2019m pretty much always a very positive and bouncy person but the solitary aspect of the last year has been pretty tough at times. Not sure if I\u2019ve changed as such but I have got better at protecting time to exercise and I drink a lot less wine!<\/p>\n<p>If I\u2019m being really honest, perhaps I\u2019m more exhausted than usual! As a single parent who works full time (and some) it\u2019s been a pretty knackering year!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does your daily routine look like? How do you run your job and your life?<\/strong><br \/>\nI get up pretty early most days, I have to get it all done but I\u2019ve always been an early bird. Annoyingly so.<\/p>\n<p>On a good day I\u2019ll do yoga when I get up around 6am, then run or walk the dog so I\u2019m back in time to make sure the kids are up, fed and at the school bus stop on time. Then I\u2019ll try to do whichever didn\u2019t happen before breakfast \u2013 the dog walk or a run &#8211; throw on a load of washing and then I can be at my desk by 9ish.<\/p>\n<p>Justin and I have a daily 0930 call which allows for parenting and life stuff before we get stuck into the day.<\/p>\n<p>I have a to do list for Platform, Onside Law and family stuff. (I have recently left all school WhatsApp groups as they were driving me nuts. Don\u2019t know why I didn\u2019t do this before!)<\/p>\n<p>I try and stop to eat at lunch but usually graze at my desk \u2013 the days of always taking a walk at lunchtime are long gone \u2013 but Justin and I are good at telling each other to get some fresh air \/ switch off if we\u2019ve been on calls all day.<\/p>\n<p>I usually work till around 6, stop to make supper for us all then if I need to, work later.<\/p>\n<p>Now we\u2019re back in sport \u2013 two or three evenings a week will involve playing taxi between rugby, football and netball training. Joy.<\/p>\n<p>Once summer comes, evenings towards the end of the week will hopefully be more focused towards the beach and getting on to the water. I grew up by the sea and it\u2019s one of the reasons I moved closer to the sea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Early mornings or late nights?<\/strong><br \/>\nEarly always.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you focus?\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nTurn off all notifications and make sure the house is empty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you cope with stress?<\/strong><br \/>\nExercise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If we started this year again, what one thing would you change?<\/strong><br \/>\nMore time with friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What one thing will you take with you into the \u2018new normal\u2019?<\/strong><br \/>\nLess booze. I\u2019ve drunk far less this past year and feel loads better for it. That\u2019ll stay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who are you speaking to next?<\/strong><br \/>\nJustin.
