Hello Bluesky followers. I am starting a ten-day talking-to-camera challenge to overcome my fear of speaking confidently to a camera, without using 'ums', 'ers', and 'likes'. Here's day one for you. You'll be my accountability by the way!!!!

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

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

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?
