Tell me about yourself…
“Tell me about yourself” is a question I’m asked a lot. It’s usually in a work context, so here are 5 other things about me that I thought you might find interesting
𝐌𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐦 (𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝) 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐠𝐞. She reused everything from gift wrapping paper to plastic bread bags, aimed for no food waste and remodelled clothes ahead of buying new ones. TBH this embarrassed me as a teenager, but I now appreciate (and try to follow) the practical example she set.
𝐈 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐯𝐢𝐬 𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐫! I’ve worn them since my early career (in the automotive and construction chemical industries), when they were only available in men’s sizes. Thankfully there are many more styles and smaller sizes. Which is good, as going on factory tours really help me to understand what companies do when I am working with them to develop their marketing strategy.
𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞. Watching trees wave in the wind and listening to the birds sing even on a dull day inspires and recharges my brain. My office desk faces a window, which reminds me to look up regularly…
𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐕 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲! I used to fill up way before the needle dropped to zero so I wouldn’t run out of petrol… but I now manage my usage and charging more easily thanks to a home EV charger (making use of our solar power when working from home) and the hashtag#climatetech apps which map routes with suggested charge points.
𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 listening to music, reading fiction, singing, baking and pottering in our garden, as well as e-biking in our “local backyard” - the beautiful Blue Mountains, in New South Wales.
I hope you’ve found this interesting!
