OK kids. Struggling to stay on top of various different feeds so I’m going in on Threads for a while. I’ll be there if you need me.

Might come back here at some point, we’ll see.

Everything you might have missed from Apple’s big iPhone reveal event. Including me in a wig.

Should you buy an iPad Air or an iPad Mini?

Despite the size differences, there’s more in common than you’d think.

Hay fever levels through the roof at the moment!

Two tickets available for Greg Davies live in Leeds on Friday 20 June. Tickets are BL 330, row T at First Direct Arena. Message me if you’re interested.

Watched this over the weekend. Utterly beautiful and heartwarming stuff. Hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure.

Cheers buddy!

🎉 It’s my birthday today! 🎈

And apparently, I’ve been making videos on YouTube for just over 4 years too.

Anyway — since it’s my birthday, you legally have to watch my latest video about awesome MacBook accessories.

Yes, that’s how birthdays work. I don’t make the rules.

Yep. Thought mine had overheated but it’s done it repeatedly through the evening.

It’s a hell of a set of bookings. I can’t wait!

Got yourself an iPad Mini 7? I’ve got a bunch of awesome accessories to show you! (and no, Paperlike is not one of them).

Raisins was utter carnage. Loved it!

YouTube video by That Mark Gilroy I tried EVERY productivity system. This one works.

I got fed up overly complicated productivity systems so, erm…I invented my own.

It’s simple, easy to apply and no-nonsense.

Featuring @craft.do (though it will work with most note-taking apps)

Oh wow, it looks awesome on the watch. Thanks for letting me see them in the wild 👍🏻

Good fact! I’ll go with that. Can a 2 inch difference be explained there?!?

Had a full health check yesterday.

✅ to blood pressure
✅ to cholesterol
✅ to iron levels

The most surprising thing? I’m 2 inches shorter than I thought I was this whole time 😮

Anyhoo, I’m off to York Parkrun to try and see if it’ll make me any taller.

Good to see you sir. Hope you have a restful weekend ahead!

Well that was fun! Heading home now- with a head full of ideas and about a hundred new friends to connect with. #LT25uk

Finally got around to posting my thoughts on today's opening keynote from @danielhulme.bsky.social

It was truly mind-bending. He painted a vision of AI not just as a tool—but as a force that could reshape everything.

Love this quote!

@garycookson.bsky.social starting to wrap up talking about how hybrid working is the lens through which you can see what’s happening in the organisation.

Hybrid work reveals issues about your company culture in microscopic detail.

#T5S4 #LT25uk

@garycookson.bsky.social talking about the importance of helping hybrid teams induct new team members. It’s about helping them feel that they belong and not look at the team from the outside.

“People need to know HOW TO WORK, not how to do their jobs.”

#T5S4 #LT25uk

What tasks DO need to be done synchronously, and which ones can be adapted so that they can be done asynchronously? L&D can help figure this out, says @garycookson.bsky.social

#T5S4 #LT25uk

We need to reboot leadership and management development, says @garycookson.bsky.social

We can’t assume that a manager who was good at managing people face-to-face, will be automatically fine managing in a remote setting.

They might be, but do we want to leave this to chance?!

#T5S4 #LT25uk

@garycookson.bsky.social & @gaellewat.bsky.social inviting the audience to share their thoughts on how we could help managers personalise the relationship in a hybrid environment, and understand how their teams are doing. #T5S4 #LT23uk

@garycookson.bsky.social sharing a simple framework for helping businesses figure out where work needs to be apportioned in a hybrid environment #T5S4 #LT25uk

Hybrid work tells people that you have to work in a fixed place at a fixed time.

We’re treating everyone the same when they’re not. Mandating onsite working isn’t the answer.

“Don’t count the days, make the days count.”

@garycookson.bsky.social

#LT25uk #T5S4

Yikes.

Research from January showing what people want from their the office is very different to what business who are trying to mandate a return to work are giving.

“The office was never the problem, getting TO the office is the problem.” - @garycookson.bsky.social
