Having a wonderful day at #brightideas2022 @samaaron raised the roof with his @Sonic_Pi live coding - just because you haven’t tried it, doesn’t mean it’s difficult

The last 24hours has been quite an adventure. Flying over some really dramatic and beautiful places. I love capturing these moments, they remind you of the majestic tapestry of our world. From nightfall to sunrise. #travel #flight #europe #dubai #Emirates

This weekend was fuelled by champagne and cake - turning 40 has been a joy so far. I apologise to my team if I am slightly slower than usual today 😂#40th #birthdaygirl #sugarrush #champagne

In February I had no energy and felt so low in my self. I had to make a change, so I did. I’ve lost 43lbs and feel much brighter. This is a reminder that you can turn things around, the power is in your hands. #thyroid #weightloss #change #Hashimotos #mentalhealth @DWPDigital

Being a single parent can be overwhelming but the best thing it’s taught me is to be brave, throw myself into life, and seek out adventures. I’ve had the best week wild swimming, boating and exploring the lakes- just the three of us. #singleparent #bravery #adventure #fun #happy

Inclusion is such an important topic. This week it’s a great time to reflect. How are we inclusive as leaders? How do we ensure everyone in our team feels included? How do we design inclusive services for our citizens? #inclusion #servicedesign #teams #leadership @DWPDigital
Replying to @DWPDigital
Wellbeing advocate @fay_cooper believes inclusion is all about celebrating differences. #NationalInclusionWeek #NationalInclusionWeek2021 #DigitalWithPurpose
