Last year, I talked a lot about how my business was like a toilet (and why that was a good thing).
This year, I'm likening it to an iolite gemstone.
And after some more recent researches about this gemstone, I think it's still a substance that represents me well -
* it's strongly associated with helping people navigate uncertain spaces (the Vikings used it on cloudy days to help them find the sun) - something I regularly do through my work with clients and in my research/policy efforts;
* it's forged in metamorphic rocks in areas of high pressure (some may recall my 'tubthumping' revelations last year which show some of the challenges that I've endured in getting my business to where it is today);
* it's mythical and ritualistic associations see it stimulating vision and creativity, and enhancing insight (another feature of what I do through my facilitation practices with different groups, and in my consultancy work).
So - this year, I'm definitely an iolite gemstone; but I'm curious to know what jewel might best reflect your business or organisation?
