How a digital communication passport can help people have greater ownership of their story – and help others understand what really matters

Imagine having to explain the most important things about yourself again and again.

How you communicate. What makes you anxious. How somebody can tell when you're in pain. What helps when you're overwhelmed. The things that are important to you. Your health needs. Your routines. The people who matter in your life.

Now imagine having to do that at precisely the moment when you're least able to communicate it.

For many people with learning disabilities and complex communication, health or support needs, this isn't hypothetical.

It's part of navigating health, social care, education and other services. It's one of the reasons we created AboutMi.

It’s been a busy few months at Here2there, and recently I’ve found myself moving between some seemingly very different pieces of work.

One day I’m facilitating a leadership programme. Another I’m talking about workplace wellbeing. I might be coaching, working with a group exploring organisational change, facilitating a co-production session or sitting down with the team to think about the next stage of one of our digital products.

But the more I reflect on it, the more I realise there’s a common thread running through almost everything I’m doing.

It’s about people, progression and creating the conditions that help us move forward.

Most third sector organisations don’t exist because of technology. They exist because someone cares deeply about people, animals, places, or ideas — and wants to make a difference. Technology usually comes later, if at all. Often as something that feels necessary, but not always comfortable. And yet, in today’s world, technology plays an important role in how organisations are discovered, how relationships begin, and how communities stay connected over time.

Having worked across multiple roles and industries (as a coach, trainer and executive) I’ve been on all sides of professional development.

I’ve designed and delivered training. I’ve commissioned learning programmes. And I’ve sat in the room as a participant too.

Over time, one question has kept coming back to me:

Why does some development genuinely change how people work, while other training is forgotten before you even leave the room or log out of the portal?

This week, I had the privilege of delivering a session on Moral Injury in Social Care, commissioned by Social Care Wales as part of the Early Years and Childcare Conference.

Although “moral injury” isn’t a term most people encounter day-to-day, it resonated deeply with the room. As we explored what it means, practitioners, students, assessors, managers, and leaders recognised themselves in the concept almost immediately.

That tells us something important:
social care carries an emotional and ethical weight that is often felt, but rarely named.

ForMi represents the future of professional development. It transforms reviews from a tedious disconnected task to an ongoing dialogue that benefits both employees and businesses. It empowers people to take control of their careers while supporting managers in delivering quality feedback and direction without unnecessary administrative hassle. In today’s fast-evolving workplace, ForMi’s ability to connect strategic goals with personal development makes it an essential tool for forward-thinking businesses.

Professional development should be continuous, engaging, and empowering. With ForMi, we have the chance to take performance reviews out of the filing cabinet and embed them into the culture of the business, where they truly belong.
