COP30 closed with a gavel, a gasp and a diplomatic sugar crash. The fossil-fuel phase-out disappeared, Russia took a swing at Latin America, and Argentina hit back hard. My final dispatch from Belém sheds light on what really happened in the room. Read it before the dust settles. buff.ly/xtVx325

#COP30 called itself the “People’s COP” — and the real momentum came from women, Indigenous leaders and frontline communities who made the negotiations impossible to ignore. buff.ly/NFtpBYw #COP30 #ClimateComms #Belém #ClimateJustice

COP30 took a dramatic turn yesterday when a Blue Zone pavilion caught fire, prompting an evacuation that nobody had planned for. The official line says “contained quickly”. The unofficial version? I wrote the inside recap of the day COP30 went off-script. buff.ly/oUBv9Y0 #COP30 #Belém #UNFCCC

Day 9 at COP30 blurred the line between the official agenda and the real one. Lula made his big return, negotiators stalled on the usual sticking points, and outside, protesters delivered a far more direct message. Belém feels like a summit being written in two languages at once. buff.ly/bQk5UvC

COP30 in Belém went off-script today. Midnight sessions that solved nothing, a Blue Zone breach that said everything, and a city making it very clear who actually lives with the consequences. The Amazon isn’t waiting for diplomats to catch up. #COP30 #BelémCOP#ClimateAction #ClimateChange

Week one of COP30? Marches. Music. Security ramped up. Real tension—and real climate deals starting to take shape. We condensed all the information into a single page. Reflective. Edgy. Honest. Read the daily report buff.ly/GhpxaQX #COP30 #ClimateJustice #NetZero #IndigenousRights

Discovered the hidden food court (vegan sandwiches + Guaraná Zero = summit fuel). A peaceful protest at the main gate rerouted thousands of people. Catch the full dispatch from Belém: buff.ly/seaoD6p #COP30 #ClimateAction #BelémBuzz #ForestFinance #ClimateJustice #InsideCOP30

Day Four at COP30 had its own momentum. The room-freezing AC, the melting ice-cream queues, the Australia–Turkey pavilion standoff, and a powerful Indigenous flotilla all shaped the day. Belém feels like it has moved past the warm-up and into real work. buff.ly/s1nZaaz #COP30

Day Three at COP30: freezing AC inside, rainforest heat outside, and 55,000 devices choking the Wi-Fi. Protesters broke through the front entrance (yes, past an actual tank). However, talk continued about justice, education, and who the Paris Promise is truly for. Full dispatch:

Day Two at #COP30: The chaos is calming, Wi-Fi’s back, and discussions flow from forests to finance to food. Rumours of Gavin Newsom, caffeine shortages, and samba beats mix beneath the Amazon canopy. Belém hums — vibrant, human, unforgettable. medium.com/@chrisnial/d... #COP30 #ClimateAction

Right now I’m juggling six proposals. We’re blessed with lots of new business opportunities. So if I look a little dazed on Zoom this week, assume I'm mid-pitch-switch. Anyone else in proposal season? How are you keeping your brain in one piece?

On World Stroke Day, the message is simple: learn the signs & act quickly. The easiest way to remember is FAST: 👉 F – Face: Has one side dropped? 👉 A – Arms: Can they raise both arms? 👉 S – Speech: Is it slurred or strange? 👉 T – Time: Call the emergency services immediately. #worldstrokeday

I’ve put a lot of work into me. Each step has pushed me to grow in ways I didn’t expect. The more I learn, the more I realise there’s always more to learn. And that’s the exciting part. What’s one thing you’re working on right now to better yourself?

For a long time, I thought resilience meant pushing through no matter what. However, I’ve begun to realise that real resilience is about finding balance. It’s knowing when to rest as much as when to push. How do you give yourself permission to recharge?

Leadership isn’t about having all the answers. I used to think that was the expectation, that people looked to you for certainty, direction, and a clear plan every time. But the longer I’ve led, the more I’ve learned that honesty, clarity, and openness matter far more.

Do you find personal images get more engagement than your professional content? And if they do, why do you think that is?

Confidence isn’t something that just arrives one day. For me, it’s been built slowly, through small wins and even smaller steps. Speaking up in meetings. Sharing a thought. Saying yes to opportunities. Each time, I grew a little. What’s one step you’ve taken that’s grown your confidence?
