1 TICKET TO MELINDA GATES LIVE IN LONDON 🎙️

I have a ticket to attend An Evening with Melinda French Gates in London next week — but I can’t make it. Instead of letting it go to waste, I’d love to gift it to someone who really wants to be there.

💬 If you’re following me here and would love to attend, drop me a DM:
1️⃣ Why do you follow my content?
2️⃣ Why would this event be meaningful to you?

P.S. No need to like or share this post — I’d be grateful of course, but the real goal is to find someone who’d truly love to be there and make the most of it.

Remember when you were a child, and every little thing made you ask, "Why?"�Why is the sky blue? Why do people shake hands? Why do some words feel more powerful than others?

🧠 Curiosity is in us from the start. It’s how we learn, how we connect, how we grow. But somewhere along the way, many of us stop asking, hesitate before speaking, or worry that our questions—or our voices—don’t matter.

💬 But they do.

Every great conversation starts with a question. Every strong leader, every insightful thinker, every engaging speaker—they never stopped being curious.

At PowerTalk, we explore:�
✨ What makes a great question spark a deep conversation?�
✨ How do we express curiosity in a way that connects with others?
�✨ How do the words we choose shape the way we’re heard?

🔍 When was the last time you asked a question that truly made you think? Drop it in the comments. Let’s stay curious—together.

The way we work is evolving, yet 𝟰𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝗞 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗼 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. Meanwhile, the demand is rising:📈 8.29 million people in the UK are working part-time (June 2024)📈 4.23 million workers are now on flextime contracts—up from 3.22M in 2013Yet, flexible work means different things to different people—for some, it’s about work-life balance; for others, it’s about staying in the workforce altogether.In our latest interview, Elizabeth Willetts, an award-winning recruiter, specialising in flexible working solutions, shares how she built Investing in Women, a platform connecting professionals with flexible, part-time, and remote opportunities. She also offers insights into how businesses and employees can find the right balance.Some of her thoughts that stood out to me:✅ “Most often people don’t know what they want, and they end up hating their jobs.”✅ “Lean into your strengths and pick a career that complements them.”✅ “There’s always time to dust yourself off, pick yourself up, and start again.”✅ “Everybody is to some degree replaceable. It’s about how you manage to stay relevant.”📺 Watch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/e5c8fFPm.
