David R Blackburn Consulting

Yesterday Birmingham, today where am I heading 🤔 Returning to my Alma Mater to deliver a lecture at the University of Aberdeen Business School 😊 ❤️

On the road again 😉 Today delivering workshops with the Regulator of Social Housing in Birmingham but my toasted teacake has set me up for a busy morning 😋💕 #

We don't just bring academic expertise we bring hands on, multi-award winning practical experience of how to turn ideas into action. So whatever you are doing this Pride Month let's do it together 😍

Simply fabulous 🥰💕🌞

I am a very proud Alumni of Aberdeen University and so I am beyond thrilled that I will be back at my Alma Mater to deliver this session based not just on my almost thirty years personal experience but also working with the incredible FranklinCovey content of the same name at the Bank of England. This talk has become a bit of my Scottish Tour presentation having delivered a version earlier this year at the Power Summits People Summit in Edinburgh 😊

A huge thank you to John Storm for the invitation, to Stephen Pobjoy for his ongoing support and working in partnership with the CIPD, and to Vanessa Holmes and her colleagues for reconnecting me with Aberdeen 😍 I hope to see you there
