Lovely presentation by Andy Priestner on uncertainty! I definitelly need to get into UX, so many interesting ideas. #bla25

Glad to add that apparently I am comfortable with uncertainty ☺️

All ready for my keynote at the Business Librarians Association #BLA25 in Stirling on ‘Letting go of certainty’.

I will be exploring: whether uncertainty has always been with us; if it’s good or bad for us; and what we can do about it in both our work and personal lives.

Wonderful to catch up with two other former Chairs of the Business Librarians Association (BLA) last night: Keith & Emma, between us we consecutively covered 2006 to 2016. #BLA25

I've arrived at the beautiful University of Stirling for the 2025 Business Librarians Association 50th anniversary conference. It's my first time attending, and I have to say I couldn't have met a nicer bunch of people. Time to forget about my 4 a.m start and enjoy!

A little surreal to be back at the BLA (Business Librarians Association) after 10 years away. I’ll be keynoting tomorrow on ‘letting go of certainty’ #BLA25 #uncertainty #change #anxiety #failure

Kicking things off at Joint Meeting Vienna with @andypriestner.bsky.social discussing uncertainty

Headed to Vienna to open the joint international business librarians conference tomorrow with a keynote on uncertainty entitled: ‘Letting go of certainty’. Can uncertainty be good for us? And what can we do when faced with too much uncertainty?
