a pretty place to play

Hi, I'm Bethan, a runner, yogi and PhD student from London. For questions or press please email me at aprettyplacetoplay@gmail.com.

I'm on Instagram...

As COO @chasingprojects creating a culture where we live our values and practice what we preach is my number one priority...even when that practice manifests itself in slightly left of centre ways (and trust me nothing was as amusing as my face suggests, I’m just am awkward person sometimes).
.
@chasingprojects We take selfies in lifts.

But then we “show up” to meetings. Because that's what “operators” do.
.
We operate a machine that is built on “systems,” to create one “system” with the purpose of delivering our mission.
.
”To build lightbulb moments, where people realise they have all the tools they need to put stress to good use, feel in control of there own health and optimise energy for life.”
.
Taking selfies in lifts is a “system.” A “system” to cement our culture, live our values, connect us as a team, put things in perspective and to help us “transition” into a high performing environment.
.
One where we “show up,” ready to put “stress” to good use, accessing physiological resource, cognitive skill menus and creativity as we step into a 90-minute meeting with a Private Equity firm.
.
Do we fool around post meeting? No, we have “system” to “transition,” “adapt” and learn. We sit down and we ask what could of we done better? No matter how well it went.
.
“Systems....”

Something I posted yesterday got far fewer ‘likes’ than usual, and it’s left me feeling kinda bummed. I knew I’d experience a drop because my content has changed and Instagram is tricksy, but my ego is screaming ‘why doesn’t anyone love me!!’⠀
⠀
Social media is ace, it can create communities and spread messages, but it’s also addicting. Each ‘like’ = dopamine, and that’s a hormone that feels good, but is pretty short lived. Once we’ve had a hit we want more (and my God I want more right now, gimme the dopamine!!), which is when social media gets difficult. ⠀
⠀
How many likes I get on a post does not determine my worth, but my love of the dopamine hit makes me feel like it does. And when a tech company controls how you feel about your worth you’ve got to question things.⠀

Thoughts? Comments? Ideas? ⠀

How do you respond when you don’t know what the f**k is going on?
If you’ve watched my stories you’ll know I forgot all about a meeting with a potential partner today, and you know what my first response was? To try and FUDGE IT. I did that whole ‘yeah, yeah, just remind me thing’, you know the one because I bet you’ve done it too. Why did I do it? Because I wanted to seem like I had my sh*t together. Well I was quickly rumbled (don’t suggest taking your little dog to a private equity firm), and the lesson is I should’ve just fronted up, called Chevy and asked what I was missing.
What would your response be in this type of scenario? Let me know below.
