Great evening chatting all things purpose - thanks for a fun evening @Given_Agency and for producing another brilliant guide. The first has been like my bible! #theinsidersguidetopurpose

Things have escalated. I’ve been spending my 5 days paid #volunteeringleave in my community - we now have road socials and a postbox transformation underway. #bethechange #stitchandbitch #WineWednesday #communityvibes

Our first act together is to make positive change happen in communities across the UK. That’s why we’ve launched the Virgin Media O2 Together Fund to supercharge hundreds of small charities already doing incredible things. #together #teamvirginmediao2

Lastnight we celebrated - it’s the end of a @VirginMediaCorp chapter. Excited to be joining forces with O2 colleagues next week. Fab to be in the office & see friendly faces in real life! Thanks to everyone who nominated me for an award & to #vmsust team for being simply the best

My mask is hiding my smile. Today at 3pm I stopped work & started my volunteering leave. Everyone at @VirginMediaCorp, as part of our Meaningful Connections Plan, now has five days paid volunteering leave to be used regularly throughout the year. I loved every min of it #takefive

Great conversation tonight on #clubhouse. Thanks for inviting me to join the panel - love talking about smart disruption and breaking rules to make stories that change lives.
A day spent feeding the ducks and watching out for planes in the sky with my two boys. A welcome break from emails and sitting at my desk. #outofoffice #recharge

End of an era: today my nearly 16 year old #goldfish Doris, given to me as a prank by a friend, went to fishy heaven. She had many an adventure, survived university with me and the odd hairy escape but must have known it was ‘Doris Day’ #RIP

Today we gave our @VirginMediaCorp people a reusable water bottle to help us remove single use plastic from our biz. Great effort from @robmccann84 who made this happen #bottlesup #vmsust

Great @givenlondon @imperialcollege workshop this afternoon discussing all things social impact. So much energy goes into partnership planning & management that we often neglect to focus on articulating the true outcomes & impact. #geekedout #fuelledbytea

Gosh more goosebumps - watching leaders be vulnerable and honest about #disability. By doing so, they are breaking down the fear. Disability will never be this difficult again. #watchinghistory @CarolineBinc

‘This is not a HR issue but a leadership issue’. @CarolineBinc at @wef 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Proud that @VirginMediaCorp is one of the very first companies to sign up to @500Valuable #DisabilityInclusion

Got goosebumps watching @CarolineBinc do her thing. Watching history being made. Tune into @wef and watch now! 2019 is the year we make positive change happen. There’s no time to lose - disabled people are counting on us. @500Valuable

For some reason I just dug out this vid we made nearly five years ago on disability at @VirginMediaCorp. What a long way we have come - message of teamwork still as critical. youtube.com/watch?v=Ht9laY4q…

Spent today out and about understanding more about our frontline. I learnt how to blow cable underground & splice fibre. Also spent time listening on calls with our vulnerable customers. #insight

I’ve just inhaled this book, couldn’t put it down. Great read - brutally honest, hilariously funny and truly inspiring. Off to big up my pals that work for the #NHS @amateuradam
