Today’s coffee companion is a technologist and a coach. We talked about…

  • when we last met in person (nearly a decade ago)
  • the nature of research organisations
  • the challenge of commerciality and research co-existing
  • a desire to relocate (but not being sure about the timing)
  • optimum team sizes (and this piece I was recently sent… https://perfectpath.co.uk/2023/08/30/looking-through-a-microsolidarity-lens/)
  • never wanting to work full-time again
  • building a new business
  • parenting, and wanting to provide things that you feel you missed out on as a child
  • expectations about the world of work for our children’s generation, and how they will learn to work in an era of AI
  • the general sense of things not working at the moment
  • in person versus online
  • the distraction of your own camera
  • gold standards of communication, and the work of Professor Elizabeth Stokoe
