At the CRN Sales & Marketing awards last week, I had an absolute blast. Not only did I get to spend the evening with my fellow judges, who are excellent human beings, but I caught up with so many colleagues and friends from the industry, including some I hadn’t seen for years. It was wonderful. Of course, most people know I work for myself now (almost 4 years and counting), but they’re not entirely sure what I do. Inevitably therefore I got asked the question a lot ‘So what do you actually do?’

I was lucky enough to take part in a really interesting Zoom call yesterday with Women on Boards. It was a call designed to help women find NED or Board Advisory positions, and as this is something I’m looking to do, I joined in. It was great hearing from the speakers, Shane Reading and Nicola Mann about their experiences and to hear their advice about getting offered these kinds of roles.
