… spent 4 years listening to it!
As you know I went to London for the first time in 3.5 years to run some training for a client.
On the station platform, at an earlier hour than I’m used to ?, I was watching my fellow travellers prepare themselves for the journey.
Then, to my surprise, I heard a familiar voice passing by. It was Michael, a former district council colleague of mine from over a decade ago.
Being a councillor was an interesting part of my life. I learned a lot, especially about representing a large group of people with differing opinions without compromising my own values and beliefs.
Michael was always there to help me navigate the ins and outs of the council, dealing with the many demands on my time and sanity, and making it an easier and more rewarding experience.
He is still a councillor but wasn’t on council business that morning. Instead, he was taking a break with the local Rotary Club in Amsterdam. I hope they had good weather! Having someone with a wealth of knowledge and experience to turn to is so important when you’re new to something or facing a difficult issue.
