What I’m doing right now.

(inspired by Derek Sivers)

Role: Director/Biz Owner

With my company, Think Productive, I’ve spent most of the last few years taking a deliberate back seat and leaving (almost) everything to the brilliant team. Find out more here.

Role: Author

KIND: The Quiet Power of Kindness at Work comes out with Bloomsbury Business on 10th October in the UK and later in the year everywhere else. I’m currently in the ‘pre-launch’ phase. Trying extra hard to do the marketing properly (a big weakness of mine - I hate it).

Role: Speaker

I’ve also been developing a new keynote talk on kindness at work and been trying it out with clients. If that idea resonates with you and you have something to share, now’s the time. Email me: graham@thinkproductive.co.uk.

Every week I do an email called Rev Up for the Week and I’ll be doing some kindness-related stuff there too, alongside my usual productivity stuff. You can sign up to that using the form below. I’m really enjoying the discipline of writing something snappy and useful each week - it’s a nice way to build and retain my writing muscle.

Role: Dad

My son is in the process of twice-yearly spinal surgeries scoliosis (for the next couple of years at least). It’s all pretty stressful but he takes it all in his stride and teaches me so much. What they don’t tell you about disability and autism is quite how much bloody admin there is. Man. I wrote this about how he found the covid lockdown, which I know is a while ago now, but I don’t write about him much and I’m proud of that piece.

And finally…

Away from the ‘day job’, you’ll find me immersed in music. I organise Brighton Sundae, which I also DJ at, and have a few other DJ gigs here and there too. And very much enjoying the fortunes of Aston Villa, which makes up for the fortunes of the Toronto Blue Jays this year.
