The New Work – Embracing Flexibility

May 14, 2018Jun 25, 2020 / thelastressort / 2 Comments

(Gratuitous photo of sunny day outdoor working last year, have high hopes for this year) A few weeks ago I attended The New Work's "Embracing Flexibility" event. It is one of the few work events I've been to that has had such a female dominated audience, which is unsurprising if you consider how important the … Continue reading The New Work – Embracing Flexibility

My one year freelance anniversary

Apr 17, 2017Jun 25, 2020 / thelastressort / Leave a comment

8th April 2016 was my last day as a full time employee, with me starting my first freelancing gig on 11th April.  I already shared a lot of what I've learned along the way as a freelancer a few months ago, when I reflected on my first 9 months. To celebrate my 1 year anniversary … Continue reading My one year freelance anniversary

The black dog and a ginger cat

In those first dark days it was hard to believe I could pull … Continue reading The black dog and a ginger cat

Diversity, and broader accessibility to opportunities, have always been subjects close to my heart. If I had one wish for humanity, it would be that we could construct a world that allows all people to live their best possible lives. There is this very dangerous assumption, by many in a position of privilege, that offering "equal opportunities" … Continue reading Diversity and creativity

Professional identity crisis

Jan 25, 2017Jun 25, 2020 / thelastressort / Leave a comment

In April 2016 I quit a great job to go self employed, and free up more time for my writing. The hardest thing with this transition has been trying to explain what I do in social situations. Let's face it "what do you do?", or variations thereof, is one of the first questions you're asked when … Continue reading Professional identity crisis

Appraisal Dread

Jan 17, 2017Jun 25, 2020 / thelastressort / 1 Comment

I know I'm not the only person who has experienced dread before their work appraisal. I used to think I was, but once I started being open about my feelings I discovered very quickly that appraisal dread is a disturbingly wide-spread thing. The problem is that people don't talk about it, it's one of those … Continue reading Appraisal Dread
