Join me on 10th September!

Does business tech leave you feeling confused, frustrated or unsure where to begin?

You didn’t start your business to become a tech expert.

Join me over at The Thrive Together circle for a fun, friendly and jargon-free introduction to Google Workspace and Zapier.

I will remove some of the mystery surrounding these powerful, low-cost tools and show you how they can help make running your business feel simpler, calmer and more organised.

You’ll explore what Google Workspace has to offer, discover useful features you may not know about and learn how its tools can work together to support your everyday business activities.

I will also introduce you to Zapier, an automation platform that connects thousands of apps.

Don't worry there will be lots of demos to stop you falling asleep! 🀣

During this session, you’ll discover:

🌟 Why Google Workspace can be a powerhouse for small businesses

 🌟 Practical features that can make everyday tasks easier

🌟  Simple ways to introduce automation into your business

 🌟 How Zapier connects different apps and systems

 🌟 How to streamline an email sign-up process

 🌟 Ways to use technology with greater confidence

 🌟 How organised communication systems can help build client trust

 🌟 How to create stronger foundations for professional, responsible data handling

This session is ideal for small-business owners, therapists, coaches and practitioners

Β πŸ“… Date: Thursday 10th September
 ⏰ Time: 7 pm UK / 2 pm EST
πŸ“ Online via Zoom in Thrive Together Circle

Does the use of em dashes prove use of AI?

Recently, I’ve seen a lot of talk around the fact that if a post has em dashes in it then it’s clearly written by AI.

This is incorrect. Em dashes are not exclusive to AI.

I am fairly new to em dash, so I did a little digging.

My partner is a creative writer as well as a Solutions Architect. He told me he uses em dashes in his work as it is great for:

πŸ‘‰ Interruption of dialog
πŸ‘‰ Sentence structure and rhythm

I was curious that I had not come across this, so I pulled out a few pre-AI dated books to see if he was right. He was of course. He normally is! 😍

I looked at a cross section of the books I own and em dashes appear in fiction, technical books and therapy books. I shouldn’t be surprised as generative AI only learns from what has come before us and what has been uploaded to the internet. So it’s nothing new.

As you can see from my carousel there are a few examples of what I found. Depending on the font used within printed books, it can be hard to tell which are hyphens and which are em dashes. So I’ve highlighted them for you.

Therefore, as em dashes are not solely used by AI, it’s worth taking the content of the whole post into consideration.

πŸ‘‰ How it reads
πŸ‘‰ What the context is
πŸ‘‰ Why you think the author created it
πŸ‘‰ Does it match what you previously knew about the person?

Let me know your thoughts. Did you know about em dashes before this debate? Do you use them?

To our boy!

He did it! He finally qualified today at nearly 3 years old.

It's been quite a journey for all of us that have been privileged to have known him.

Well done Bayley!

You take everything at your pace and there is no changing this whether we wanted to or not 🀣

Maybe it was because you knew your perfect owner was waiting for you and you wouldn't settle for anything less.

When we need a bit of a confidence boost we always ask ourselves "What would Bayley do?" and the answer appears. He would assess the situation and then go all in with full confidence.

Congratulations to all the trainers and our PDA at Guide Dogs and a very special congratulations to all his fosterers, boarders and to us, his puppy raisers.

And lastly to his Brood holder family as without them he might not have even made it to us to start his journey. He couldn't walk until he was 6 weeks old. They did a lot of physio with him.

Well done our funny, sassy boy. We hope you have a fabulous life with your new family. 🎊🎊πŸ₯³

Work, what work?

When you have too many trophy guys and decide that stop motion is the only thing for it. 🀣

What do you think of my first ?

Watch out I might make another one soon πŸ€ͺ🀣

Yesterday morning I had a few meetings

I won't bore you with the details but it's all very exciting, well I find it exciting 🀣

I saw the amazing space at EarthSpirit Centre where we will be holding some of the meetups in autumn/winter and I'm super excited.

I then had a meeting with Grahame Rowlands about what they do and offer.

I will be releasing the community meetup tickets soon so watch this space.

They are like buses 🚍

I had a bit of a week last week and not 1 but 2 award emails ended up in my inbox which turned out to be great timing. 😍

I'm super proud of this nomination but I find it hard to shout about it.

Running my business is like being on a rollercoaster you can't get off. If you know me I feel sick at the thought of a rollercoaster 🎒 🀣

Being recognised is the best feeling but when your a struggling business it's so much more.

Just a thank you, a hug or telling someone they are going in the right direction is all that it takes.

Plus liking and following on Socials too 🀣

Seriously, we don't tell each other enough.

So next time your at a networking event. Please tell a small business that you see them and they are doing great.

I still don't think this is real 🀣

Winner winner chicken dinner πŸ†

What a fun morning we had today.

Thanks to everyone that attended the Community meetup this morning. In spite of the πŸ₯΅πŸ”₯

For a few weeks now I've been teasing Trophy Guy. All was revealed today.

Puk from Sana Wellness & Training is the first recipient of the Community Spirit Recognition award (not award).

She has been silently cheerleading and supporting other wellbeing businesses behind the scenes and she definitely needed some recognition for that.

Well done Puk. You get your own Trophy Guy to name and take out and about now!

Debbie Davidson was also the winner of a free ticket in "Spin With Lins".

If you fancy joining our fun and informative meetups then our next meetup is 11th Sept. Keep following for more info.
