Strutting about as though he owns the place - and why not? Other shots, though, show the pheasants and diminutive muntjac deer of @blenheimpalace in more cautious, even stealthy-looking motion. #blenheimpalace #pheasant #pheasantundergrass #deer #muntjac #muntjacdeer #blenheim #palacegrounds #nature #explorengland #woodstock #oxford #explorebc #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #Oxfordshire #our_best_birds #bestbirdshots #wonderousnature #birds_captures #best_birds_of_ig #nuts_about_birds #planetbirds It’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood ... Now coming up for air and a walk under gorgeous skies today in the place I call home, after working with great people - assistants, event organisers and fellow speakers - at two conferences in six days - #ExecSecLIVE in Atlanta and @APCCanada right here in Vancouver. Have a great finish to your week, all! #vancouver #kits #kitsilano #vancity #vancityvibes #beach #novemberskies #westcoastvibes #explorebc #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #travelpassion ‪There’s a great vibe at this first-ever @APCCanada Administrative Professionals Conference - West conference, here in Vancouver.‬ ‪Delighted to be working with this great group of career assistants, and appreciating the Christmas decor here at Sutton Place Hotel. ‪ #apcwest ‬#professionaldevelopment #assistant #executiveassistant #vancouvervancity #itschristmastimeinthecity #holidaydecor #christmastree More than a few assistants approached me after my Saturday presentation at #ExecSecLIVE in Atlanta and told me I’d scared them with my presentation - and that they were going to make some changes in their cybersecurity practices. This morning, it was gratifying to read FB feed comments from three different continents picking up on lessons from my presentations. Am thinking of a new tag line 😂 ... Shelagh Donnelly: Transforming assistants’ and their executives’ cyber practices, one scare at a time! Today, though, I’ll be doing anything but scaring assistants. Here at @apccanada #apcwest conference in my home town, I’ll be working with them on self advocacy, self-promotion and negotiating on your own behalf. Tomorrow, we’ll focus on elevating the quality of meeting minutes. We’re in for yet another great event! #conference #assistant #ea #executiveassistant #cybersecurity #professionaldevelopment After a 1:30 AM Vancouver time start to the day Sunday, and flights from Atlanta, it was a treat to settle in to this lovely suite at @suttonplacehotels in the heart of downtown Vancouver. Last night provided an opportunity to show some out of town people here for the @apccanada #apcwest conference some of the nearby landmarks. #vancouver #veryvancouver #vancityvibes #conference #assistants #executiveassistants For friends new and old from Atlanta and #ExecSecLIVE: I will be uploading pics from our wonderful time together but, for the next couple of days, am turning focus to beautiful #Vancouver (just a little proud of my home) and #APCWEST. Here’s an early look at home for the next couple of days, The Sutton Place Hotel. @apccanada chose well when it came to property and location! #vancouver #conference #assistant #executiveassistant #itsconferencetime #explorevancouver #vancityvibes #surronplacehotel Now back in Vancouver from Atlanta, am settling in at Vancouver’s lovely Sutton Place Hotel and looking at the impressive program (and conference materials!) @APCCanada has developed for #APCWEST. Looking forward to presenting on self-advocacy and negotiating on Monday, and elevating your minutes on Tuesday. #APCCAN #suttonplacehotel #professionaldevelopment #assistants #executiveassistants #vancouver #conferencetime Oh, Canada! #aerial #ontario #flight Up in the air, from Atlanta to Toronto this morning - with city lights twinkling below the clouds #aerial #clouds #atlanta #ontario #flight #cloud Some sights from Atlanta and today’s very early departure from this southern city to head hone and present at another terrific conference #aerial #thewhitleyhotel #execseclive #atlanta #georgia #exploreatlanta #travel #skyline #atlantaskyline #exploreatlanta Atlanta, Georgia this evening. #execseclive #atlanta #conference #exploreatlanta #atlantarestaurants #execseclive #atlantageorgia #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #architecture #zombies A little taste of Atlanta, with fine company #execseclive #atlanta #conference #exploreatlanta #atlantarestaurants #execseclive #atlantageorgia #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #architecture #architecturephotography More from Day Three in Atlanta, Georgia for #ExecSecLIVE #execseclive #atlanta #conference #atlantarestaurants #luxuryhotel #thewhitleyhotel #atlantageorgia #visualsoflife The second of a series of shots from Day Three in Atlanta, Georgia for #ExecSecLIVE - great company and a bit of our explorations this evening. #execseclive #atlanta #conference #exploreatlanta #atlantarestaurants #execseclive #luxuryhotel #thewhitleyhotel #atlantageorgia #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke ‪Happy to see @iaap represented here at #ExecSecLIVE in #Atlanta.‬ ‪It’s good to be able to catch up with @juanitam516 and @song_ofthesouth - and to meet @PhiDDD face to face for the first time! #execseclive #atlanta #thewhitleyhotel #professionaldevelopment This morning at @thewhitleyhotel in Atlanta with friend and fellow speaker Diana Brandl, from Germany #friends #execseclive #atlanta #thewhitleyhotel #speakerlife Day Two in Atlanta, Georgia: fewer pics than yesterday, since much of the day was dedicated to work, but wrapped up with time spent with lovely people .... and a quick bit of shopping, despite the exchange rate! #atlanta #execseclive #friends #thewhitleyhotel Happily settling in and working away at The Whitley in Atlanta after Tuesday’s red eye flight, and in advance of #ExecSecLIVE. It’s people who make the greatest impact, and Club Concierge Minka made this traveller feel welcome despite the hour yesterday - as did Lynn when we met. Am also appreciating the pops of deep green in my room and around this lovely property. #luxuryhotel #atlanta #usedtobetheritz #exploreatlanta #thewhitleyhotel #atlantageorgia #visualsoflife #buckhead #exploreatlanta #aplacetoremember #TakeMeThere #MomentsLikeThese #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke
