Hi Rhiannon, I love the presentation of your blog post. It somehow gives an insight into your way of thinking and organising your thoughts in a way that took me along the journey with you. Very creative 🙂 I’m also very excited by the diversity of backgrounds on the programme and think working together will be a great way for each of us to challenge the way that we learn, create and deliver
Hi Maryam, thank you for your lovely comment. It was great to hear from you on the cohort meeting earlier today and all the ideas swimming about in your head. It sounds like it is an exciting space for all of us to plan out how we can better our communities 🙂
Hi Rhi, what a gorgeous blog post. I take it spring roses don’t typically rebloom in September (me = obtuse in plant-knowledge). I feel you on the chaos of settling in. I hope things are beginning to feel a little more solid now though. Your worries about data and AI also really resonate with me, but it’s neat to see the visual journey from your mind map of activities to the tidiness of your class chart. It left me feeling like perhaps there is some kind of progress there.
Hey Theresa – sadly no spring roses should not be reblooming. In fact they shouldn’t even have leaves where I am! Definitely settling in more now and I hope you are too 🙂
Thank you for the compliment on my post layout, I scrawled away before realising I had to capture it in a WordPress blog and couldn’t find the energy to type it up…I know now at least! It was a useful exercise to think about why I’m here for sure.
I really enjoy how you’ve structured you post. It was very interesting and fun to read through. I’m glad I wasn’t alone in finding this first week chaotic. We have a mutual interest in poverty and inequality drivers! I’m looking forward to seeing where you’ll find yourself as the program progresses.
Hi Meghan thank you for the feedback – it was nice to meet you earlier and hear more about your current role with data and interest in poverty drivers and homelessness. I look forward to hearing how your thoughts evolve over the program 🙂 It was interesting that you feel that qual data is something others don’t find as powerful as quant data in your line of work as for me it is the opposite. Everyone wants qual data and in large quantities as they recognise quant data doesn’t explain the why of behaviours or trends. Funny how that is so different for our industries.
