Published in Doing better things·2 days agoWhat I’ve learnt from my time on MastodonA few weeks ago I finally joined Mastodon. I stuck it out on Twitter until Elon Musk started his obliteration of an already toxic environment.

Published in Gwneud pethau gwell·2 days agoBeth rydw i wedi dysgu o fy amser ar MastodonMae Twitter wedi teimlo’n broblematig ers tro, felly o’r diwedd fe wnes i droi at Mastodon.

Published in Doing better things·Mar 8Radical Candour and moving away from annual appraisalsOver the past few months I’ve been lucky enough to have been undertaking some coaching to help my personal development.
