It’s International Coaching Psychology Day - my area of specialism - & I’m pleased to be attending the International Society for Coaching Psychology congress to connect & top up my CPD. Lots of interesting looking sessions. What to choose? 🤔

Had a wonderfully restorative weekend with my wife & dog, going to the beach & a woodland for walks (well, rolls for me 🦽). Feeling recharged & in a very +ve headspace, with renewed vitality. More challenges to deal with, but I’m ready. Bring it on. Time for another journey of reinvention.

We will be announcing the Aspen Psychology Services #coaching workshop schedule for 25-26 very soon… Watch this space. In the meantime, here’s a picture of our new 7-month-old Jackhuahua pup, Scooby, who has joined the family having needed to be re-homed. Those ears and eyes… Oh, my heart ❤️

Great to see you all. With that camera angle, how long does my arm look? 😂 #ReedRichards

One of the things I’ve especially enjoyed about #Arsenal’s win over Real Madrid is hearing the different international commentators going nuts over Declan Rice’s astonishing free kicks. Pulling a few together here. [Thread]

A night for a lifetime, nothing less. Was unsuccessful in the ballot to get tickets for this one, but the upside of that was getting to watch it with both of our ‘kids’ at home. Memories for decades, for all of us. #Arsenal

Buzzing with enjoyment & ideas having facilitated the most recent @aspenpsychology.bsky.social #Coaching & #CoachingPsychology Interest Group (CPIG - hence the 'sea pig' image) for EPs and TEPs. Such a lovely group of people to work with. Interested to find out more or join? See thread. #edpsychs

Context. And this doesn’t take stupid red cards into account, either (or the importance of the injured players). We are doing well to be second. #Arsenal

Safe, secure and happy in his ‘morning place’, thank-you. And my heart rate is finally back to normal. I have concluded I would be utterly useless in a terror attack. Good to know.

Ours is most definitely in our front garden, gate securely shut. Brought it in after that unnervingly loud alarm from my otherwise muted phone made both me and the cat shit ourselves.

Losing both Calafiori and Big Gabi for this game is a massive kick in the bollocks. Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks. Oh well. We will just have to score 3 quickly to make sure ⚽️ ⚽️ ⚽️ #Arsenal #ARSMAN #AFC 🔴⚪️ COYG!!!

Very different players and styles, but to my eye Saka & Ødegaard seem to have an Henry/Pires thing going on in terms of their linkup, looking for each other and enjoying playing together, and I love watching it. #Arsenal

1/2 One of these people’s voice has not only survived the test of time, but he’s also put it to good use making at least eight outstanding albums, leaving a significant and enduring musical legacy…
