10+ years later, I’m still giving it a go. Just with better questions.
I found photos from 2016, having cocktails on Necker Island with Richard Branson and Brené Brown, talking about being changemakers. Still a fairly outrageous sentence.
I was full of energy and ideas. A decade later, I have more experience, a better understanding of my limits and a considerably greater appreciation for the people who’ve helped me along the way.
A throwback captures a moment. It doesn’t show everything that happened afterwards: what we built, what changed, the setbacks, the ordinary work of finding our feet again.
I’m proud of what I’ve built. I’m also asking different questions now. What can I sustain? What needs to change? Who can I ask for help?
Perhaps you’re figuring out your own version of that. You can have years of experience and still be new to the situation you’re in.
What’s helped me most has been the people at my table. People who’ve offered practical help, honest conversations and room to work things out. Being on the receiving end has deepened my understanding of reciprocity, including letting care come back my way.
That’s part of why I’m building The Table: a place to reconnect, meet people and explore what we could make possible together.
What would be possible with the right people at your table? Truly, I’d love to know below 👇
