Each week Bath Business News gives a prominent member of the city’s business community the last word on its weekly e-bulletin. This week, Rachel McGill from Resilient Leaders Elements, answers our 10 questions.
What was the LAST:
Film you watched: The Boys in the Boat. A truly inspiring feel-good and true story about the US Olympics rowing team competing for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Games. Really powerful viewing.
Book you read: Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas. My daughter recommended this fantasy series to me and it’s got me absolutely hooked!
Music you bought/downloaded: Houdini by Eminem. He’s just as good as he ever was all these years later, and maybe even getting better with age!
Concert or play you went to see: I was taken to see Mamma Mia! in the West End as a gift for my birthday. I have always loved ABBA’s music and it was an incredible performance to enjoy live.
Sporting event you attended: Chelsea vs Fulham.
Holiday you went on: Sri Lanka for a cricket tour, supporting my partner in both life and business, Richard. There are definitely worse places to go on holiday! I adored Sri Lanka and would love to go back again someday — but maybe without the cricket next time!
Restaurant you ate in: Pony Chew Valley in Chew Magna.
Thing that annoyed you: A spiteful comment about someone else on Twitter (now X) from an anonymous sender — I hate that! If you have something to say, at least be open about your identity so that they can reply to you.
Thing that made you laugh out loud: My baby niece starting to talk – adorable and hilarious in equal measure.
Piece of good advice you were given: “Everything has its season, and everything will change – trusting that helps you to let things go.”
