Mwahahaha there,

Yep, that’s me, Sarah, trying to be spooky again and believe it or not, that is a word in the dictionary!  Who knew?  Here I am again surrounded by painted pumpkins and light-up skeletons.  But this year my kids have excelled themselves.  With their new 3D pen they have made a ton of plastic spiders, spider webs, and even an Eiffel Tower (not related to Halloween but I was so impressed)!

It’s our Chatter spooky special with lots of stories - some scary (see the Apple story 👇). We’ve been a busy tribe with events too:  

• Justyna and Aly visited World of Learning,
• I went to the Forrester B2B Summit,
• Sarah Winter is at the B2B ABM Conference next week in London,
• I got back in the LinkedIn Live seat with Chris Kim from Airtable (in costumes, see below 👇 can you guess who we are?).
• A few of us will be at the Onalytica Social Trailblazers next week in London – if you’re going, let me know!

It feels good to be back out again, talking and learning.  After the last couple of years, I’m ready for inspiration, new ideas, and opening my mind.  Anyway, I’m taking the next couple of days off to ride on scary trains, host a Halloween party for a load of kids and try to get excited about trick-or-treating.  Why do I do this to myself?

Until next time, have a great November.  A quick tip: light a candle on your desk – keeps you warm and lifts your spirit.
