Please switch off the lights when leaving the room

August 30, 2020 HBurge

The Off Switch, written by Professor Mark Cropley is a thought-provoking book and had been recommended to me and was in my growing pile of lockdown books purchased but not yet read, so at the start of the Bank Holiday weekend when I was switching off I picked it up. This was the right time,… Continue reading Please switch off the lights when leaving the room

Virtual Learning Zone

August 3, 2020 HBurge

I’m quite an optimistic person, I like to find the silver lining around most grey stormy clouds and whilst there haven’t been many silver linings to the worldwide pandemic and subsequent COVID19 lockdown, something awesome has happened and I need to tell you about it! Back in April during one of the weekly ISBL regional… Continue reading Virtual Learning Zone

Land Ahoy!

July 14, 2020July 14, 2020 HBurge

This blog has loads of nautical sayings and analogies, which I think have been swirling around in my mind over the last couple of days, inspired by a number of different sources – possibly reading about Johnny Depp aka Jack Sparrow or potentially from conversations with my boss, who is ex Royal Fleet Auxiliary and… Continue reading Land Ahoy!

Tortoiseshell – our new normal

June 4, 2020July 23, 2020 HBurge

I’ve not written on my blog page for ages, since last November, over 7 months ago. I’ve written a few bits for other organisations, but nothing about the random thoughts going through my head some of which relate to school business leadership. Since January I have been full time Deputy COO and moved from my… Continue reading Tortoiseshell – our new normal

Hygge

November 9, 2019July 23, 2020 HBurge

Is it ok to admit I don’t like Halloween? or rather I don’t like the commercialisation of it, hang on I also don’t like children knocking on strangers’ doors for sweets – that’s just odd! Halloween also signifies the start to driving to and from work in the dim light and the onset of winter… Continue reading Hygge

Face to Face connections

September 1, 2019July 23, 2020 HBurge

Photo by rawpixel.com on Pexels.com Over the last couple of days there has been a surge of activity amongst the #SBLTwitter community, a drive to increase our numbers and get them on our #SBLTwitterMap, we’ve now got 250 on there!  Then @JustChezBubbles created the @SbmMentors twitter account so SBLs can offer to mentor or request… Continue reading Face to Face connections

Walking & talking my way through Term 7

August 26, 2019August 26, 2019 HBurge

This Term 7 has seen the great #GLSCoast2Coastchallenge, when SBLs across the UK have signed up to walk from The Grand Pier, Weston super Mare to Waterloo Crescent in Dover.  454.4km over 6 weeks, virtually.  It finishes next Friday 6th September, but I feel inspired to write now about it, as I’ve realised that this… Continue reading Walking & talking my way through Term 7

#SBMLunch

June 9, 2019 HBurge

It’s coming up two years since the concept of #SBMLunch was first tweeted about and yet I’m still not perfecting this aspect of my well-being.  Don’t get me wrong I have lunch, otherwise I would fall over, I just eat it at my desk or in the car, whilst checking emails or reviewing my lists… Continue reading #SBMLunch

Snookered

March 30, 2019March 30, 2019 HBurge

I don’t usually comment on anything political, I’m mindful that even though these blogs are my opinions, I’ve still got a MAT I want to protect, enhance and carry on working within!  So this is unusual for me but I’ve felt I cannot read all the twitter comments about School Resource Management Advisers (SRMAs) without… Continue reading Snookered

We all stand together

February 1, 2019 HBurge

On Wednesday, Somerset School Business Leaders held their first conference in the stunning ballroom at Weston Winter Gardens. Avril and I decided to call this conference “We all stand together” as we were visualising this conference as one to unite our relatively new ISBL regional group.  Avril and I couldn’t help thinking of Paul McCartney’s… Continue reading We all stand together
