Conferences and events.


Going to be brief on this one. While I was unemployed I was lucky enough to be given a bursary to attend Umbrella 11. I wrote this up for the HLG newsletter and it should appear in the September issue. I’ve never presented at a conference and it is something I’d like to do. Maybe the new job will present some opportunities. I have helped organise some local events for staff – this is hard work but enjoyable.

The thing I find hardest (and if you've been reading along you'll be expecting this) is the networking which everyone says they find so valuable. I can sometimes force myself to engage with people - but I'm not a natural at it and doubt I ever will be!
