In UK, Autumn brings a new academic year for schools, colleges and universities. Transitions for many children and young people arriving in new places, meeting new people and navigating new situations. Not to forget their parents and families adjusting to new routines.
Autumn also brings party conference season for politicians, providing a feast for the media and a search for policy aspirations among the rhetoric.
Autumn is a time for businesses to take stock, often at strategy events. For industry sectors, this is the season for conferences and awards ceremonies. Opportunities to gather with colleagues and connections.
And for many individuals, this is a time to plan renewal and transitions. An effective starting point can be reaching out to your network and making time for conversations; re-connecting with those you have lost touch with; identifying communities you would like to participate in.
In a busy, noisy World it is easy to neglect the human interactions that enable us to be the best we can. From planned and ad hoc chats come insights and opportunities that may be missed by a sole traveller.
