Leaving After 15 precious years with many ups and some downs (personally) I sadly decided to leave the mothership of Sue and be part of another company. I will announce which company later on, I need to make it a bit exciting to read right? ;-) Leaving after so many years is a difficult thing, or at least for me.

Digital edition As Covid is still around very much and restrictions are in place all over, we needed to host this event on our digital platform. For me that was the first time doing a talk on a digital event. Ofcourse as coach for Sue I do this daily, but not as speaker with polls and such. It is good that we practised a bit upfront to be familiar with the tools. ...
