Back in the Peopleside days, one of my favorite things to put together was our monthly newsletter. I loved having a reason to stop and ask myself what I’d been noticing lately, what I was learning, and what I’d come across that someone else might find useful.
As Peopleside became Nimble Up, the way we shared our work changed, too. We wrote blog posts, built courses on online learning platforms, and tried plenty of things in between. Each gave us a different way to share ideas and help people put them into practice. But when I was thinking recently about what I wanted to make space for again, I thought of that monthly email. I missed having a regular way to catch up with you.
So we’re bringing it back in a new form. It’s called Field Notes, and it’s a monthly email for people who want to build better ways of working, for themselves and for the people they work with.
What you’ll find in Field Notes
· From the Field. I’ll share what I’m noticing in my work with organizations, in conversations with leaders, and in everyday life. Sometimes it’ll be a pattern I keep seeing. Sometimes it’ll be a question I’m still working through.
· Worth Keeping. Practical tools you can use in your own work, like a template for your next team conversation or a checklist to help you get clear on what needs to happen next.
· Worth Exploring. Books, podcasts, research, and ideas I’ve been thinking about and want to pass along.
· What’s Next. A look at upcoming Nimble Up webinars, workshops, and places where I’ll be speaking.
· Reflection. One question to help you pause, notice what matters, and think about what you might do differently.
My hope is that each issue gives you something you can use, whether that’s a tool you bring to your next meeting or a question that helps you look at a familiar problem differently.
If you’ve been here since Peopleside, I’m glad we get to pick up this part of the conversation again. And if you’re new to Nimble Up, I’m glad you’re here.
