Martin Farrell - What I am doing now

This is what I’m doing NOW (July 2021)

With a refreshed fresh book structure for ‘Wild Waters – a route map for good leaders in bad trouble’, extending the focus to include third sector Chairs and boards as well as CEOs. With 42,000 words, the manuscript is now three quarters of the way to completion and my dream now is to find a publisher who will help me edit and design it so I can bring its 101 nuggets of advice to the third sector leaders who urgently need it.
'The Generosity Tree'. Now co-creating a website (as a necessary but we know not sufficient step) to test our proposition about growing generosity and nourished by gratitude; prototype was supported by u.lab 2x of the Presencing Institute
Coaching and supporting senior charity leaders through turbulent times ('Wild waters' indeed)
I and the GAIT (Guild of Agents of Intentional Transformation) core team are taking a long summer break.
With Patricia and Susanne, refreshing and preparing for the 4th series of Live Well Die Wise virtual listening group.
Leading a small international team to improve and put the spotlight on facilitation methods in the methods library of the International Association of Facilitators hosted by SessionLab. Soon to complete a virtual 'world tour' of session one in each of IAF's seven regions.
One of a small team drafting a volunteering policy for the International Association of Facilitators global board.

Taking it very slowly over July and August on an inner journey to gain insight into why I am painfully provoked by certain things I see and hear. This is a tough spiritual practice which has been waiting in the wings for a long time.
Watching German and French news to be up to date with what going on and to take me a few steps closer to my lifetime ambition of being multilingual (still a long way to go).
Enjoying seeing my 1000 litre water butts fill up with lovely rain water. Now completing my new shed roof (with the much advice from my most helpful neighbour JC).
Still regularly swimming in the Thames, temperatures have now risen to a balmy 20 degrees. I have a place in the Allgäu Triathlon in southern Germany in August. Should be training more; if I make it to the start line I hope to survive to the finish line and not be last.
Enjoying occasionally hearing the sound engine of my 1968 BSA D14 motorbike, now running again and trying to be brave enough to head out on some trips. Still trying to pluck up the courage to plan a day trip to the south coast.
