JAM TODAY There’s a line from Alice Through the Looking Glass “The rule is jam tomorrow and jam yesterday – but never jam today.” When Alice meets the Red Queen, she’s offered a job. The reward is twopence a week and jam every other day. But those days are yesterday and tomorrow. Never today The jam is always out of reach, an unfulfilled promise Like listening to a politician at election time Jam today can also mean about being in the moment and enjoying and being grateful for what is A Jam Session is a gathering or performance where musicians improvise and play together also in the moment Mediation too is about coming back to and helping people to interact with one another in the moment rather than dwelling in the past Jam today could mean discovering what the parties have in common and what benefits they would derive from reaching a resolution today ✅ In problem solving or decision making are you able to focus on Jam Today rather than on what may be out of reach of unresolvable? #mediationskills #listening #conflictresolution #letspeaceittogether #training #conflict #leadership #learning #election #politics ……………………………………………………………………… About #barefootmediator 👣 I help people manage and survive in times of change, challenge and crisis and to make effective decisions and take action in line with their core values

We must look to the future and not to the past. We have an opportunity to reshape and redefine the accountancy profession in Ireland. The amalgamation of CPA Ireland with Chartered Accountants Ireland will allow us to have a clear voice to attract future talent, a single Irish education offering in the market and all members will be subject to the same standards of regulation. I have voted in favour of this proposal and I hope all members will use their vote too.

Have you cast your vote in the M&IT Awards? Voting is in full swing, and YOU get to choose the winners! Publishers of an industry-focused magazine and hosts of popular networking events throughout the year—their awards are kind of a big deal. Do you know what else is a big deal (or at least to us anyway)? Collaboration over competition. This is why, even though we’d love votes for Best Large Intermediary Agency of the Year we’re simply here to remind you that your vote matters and is appreciated. The events industry is full of so many deserving, hard-working, and creative people who make it one of the best industries in the world to work in, so please take a few minutes to cast a vote to ensure that hard work gets recognised! None of the awards categories are mandatory, and you can vote for as many or as few as you like! https://hubs.li/Q02nM5cb0 #EventProfs #EventAgencies #MITAwards
