#LIBER2025 An absolutely wonderful session from @williamjnixon.bsky.social on the value of informal professional networks for leadership development. Lovely hearing about the ongoing positive life of LIBER's Emerging Leaders programme and the many people who make it happen. Genuinely wholesome ❤️🤩

Just another day at the office for a Royal Armouries Collection, Research and Learning Committee meeting... Well not my office... But wherever you lay laptop right 😅
A photo of the White Tower at the Tower of London. In the foreground is a sett courtyard with the new Armouries redbrick building to the left. It's a sunny day in spring and the trees are beginning to bud.

Heading back up north following a cracking #SCONUL Spring Conference exploring technology, data, the future of the systems librarian, & the case for shared services - I drank that kool-aid... Now I'm drinking tea out of my fabulous new SCONUL cup (safety first). The other passengers are well jeal 🫣

Feels like #UKSGForum2024 was just yesterday 🥲 For the nostalgic of heart—here's a link to the deck for my Keynote on AI, with a few additional slides on pathways forward and resources.

Top of that list—2024 UN Report: Governing AI for humanity

Another great day at #IATUL24 culminating in a Leadership Panel with Chellie Spiller, Jill Benn, Ry Moran & Masud Khokhar. Here's an illustration I created during some downtime which captures some of their key discussion points 😊 #VoicesOfAll @masudk.com #IATULNZ24 #IATULAKL24
A playful and colorful illustration of a tree. There's a label in the corner that reads "Insights from the IATUL24 Leadership Panel with Chellie Spiller, Jill Benn, Ry Moran, and Masud Khokhar". Several branches extending out from the tree trunk support 20 colorful circles. Each circle houses one of the following qualities: Listening, Humility, Creativity, Systems thinking, Empathy, Resilience, Courage, Curiosity, Care, Respect, Integrity, Gratitude, Compassion, Values guided, Trust, Empowerment, Purpose, Rangatira, Reconciliation, Allyship. There are three native New Zealand birds in the illustration: a Kiwi rummaging for food by the base of the tree trunk, a kereru is perched in the tree, and a Kea is taking flight from the tree.

Day One of #IATUL2024 has concluded but Ry Moran's profoundly resonant reflections on cultural heritage and the Rights of Indigenous Peoples will sit with me and continue to guide my practice #VoicesOfAll

The winner for the coolest lift of 2024 🤩 goes to the Studio in Birmingham - the fab venue for today's #SCONUL One Day Conference. It's a niche but coveted award 👏🏾
