My father died from Parkinson’s in 2019. He was an avid reader & an amateur novelist & this gave him much delight. My brother has since published his novel on Amazon with all proceeds going to @ParkinsonsUK . If you’re a fan of racing this is one for you! amazon.co.uk/Will-Win-Graha…

Just reflecting on keynote speaker @MagicCarmel from today’s @YLvsCancer conference. Carmel you blew me away;passionate, to the point, clear, succinct, funny…I cannot wait to digest with the team tomo what we are doing as project managers to make change happen. #ChangeActivist

At moments like these I feel Tolkien sums up my mood nicely …

Great morning at the Delivery for Good network talking to project managers and product managers all things audience segmentation, Agile delivery and strategic planning . Thanks for hosting @TheBHF

We want a better future for children and young people with cancer. Today we’re sharing our 2024/27 strategy, The Time is Now, laying out how we'll contribute to making it happen: ow.ly/GMEM50ToyRO

Two books arrived for me today - the work me and the mummy me…don’t worry I’ve got “Abroad in Japan” also out from the library too which I can’t wait to get stuck into just for the me that is Rachel 😂

Today @YLvsCancer everyone in the charity is given the gift of a well-being and development day. It’s such a fab idea where the focus of the day is the individual . So for my well-being it’s all about the running and for my development a dummy’s guide to system thinking! ❤️

Children and young people with cancer need to be prioritised by the new UK Government. With our friends at @CCLG_UK, alongside leading charities, we’ve written an open letter to the new Prime Minister asking him to do just that. Join us and add your name bit.ly/4cYruPE

The results are in, and lots has changed. But we're still clear: the new UK Government must prioritise children and young people with cancer. Congratulations to all MPs elected and @Keir_Starmer on entering No10. We're ready to work with you to deliver for young cancer patients

@RachelKirbyR OMG! Looks like your dog did their hair especially for the occasion ❤️

Everyone get out and VOTE! It’s not about perfection, maybe you have to compromise and vote tactically. You’re not choosing a partner for life… As CJ says in West Wing ‘Decisions are made by those who show up.’ Remember #VoterID #GeneralElection2024 #DogsatPollingStations

Love this 👇 after a weekend with the kids, I look forward to working with supportive colleagues that challenge me to look past perfectionism

Best karyoake by @Rylan this afternoon. Making a long car drive full of giggles and tuuunes - much needed!

Do you always get a little stuck choosing what film to watch? Check out my brother’s handy new book Ultimate Movie List including eighties cheese, Sunday afternoon, twist endings and much more amazon.co.uk/Films-Ultimate…

@KateLeeCEO I mean there couldn’t be any other shoe choice! Massive congrats Kate!

Lovely day and great excuse to buy new #Converse ❤️

I can’t believe this was 7 years ago. It has taken on a new meaning to me since having kids. Sooo funny and sooo relatable now. @turner_jenny I can just see mine wandering into a SGLT like this 😂 or even worse an Exec meeting! 🤦‍♀️

I’m so lucky to be surrounded by some fabulous women in my life who support me and give me courage to reach higher both in my work and personal lives. To those who have made me laugh, understood and let me be me - thank you #InternationalWomensDay

I mean it’s never too early to read about climate change right …

My new ‘work’ book by @AnnieDuke . I know I find uncertainty uncomfortable so hoping this book provides some great tools to improve the way @YLvsCancer PMO team approach our project and planning work …watch the space

First day back in the @YLvsCancer office & what started as a general catch up about books we recently read turned into a convo about gender, race & immigration - so grateful to work in a team where we’re not afraid to talk about DEIB issues. @KeiRettaFarrell led the way for us
