Today we are celebrating the life of Robert Burns, Scotland's National Bard. He is dear to our hearts not only because he is Scottish and a talented poet, but also because he experienced life with mental ill health. Studies have suggested that he lived with depression, which he called his 'blue devilism'.
Burns wrote about his feelings and experiences in his poems, as well as in letters to his friend Frances Dunlop. Maybe this was his therapy?

Evie brought cupcakes to share at our Team Meeting yesterday. Not just any cupcakes, but homemade, marzipan, white chocolate and cranberry cupcakes!
She claimed they were not up to standard, but the rest of us found them delicious. Thank you , Evie!
Evie is one of our office managers, along with Christina, who makes a cameo appearance on the mirror below. They respond to your initial calls and emails when you ask us for counselling, coaching or training.
All our office staff work from home, so our monthly in-person Team Meetings are important, as much for building relationships as for the agenda items.
We start with coffee;
then a check-in on how we are each doing, so we know how our teammates are feeling this week;
next we each name one achievement from the past month and one focus for our month ahead. This helps us appreciate our colleagues' workload and how other areas of the business work;
and then the business agenda items.
We take turns chairing the meeting and taking minutes.
