@V_and_A We were really disappointed that the Marie Antoinette exhibition was sold out today ( my daughters bth). Is there any plans to extend or tour the exhibition???

@wesstreeting Dear Wes,
Please remember that the NHS has many other professions . Perhaps it would be nice if you said something to those of us in NHSE who face major job cuts and those in ICBs and Trusts who are also facing job cuts.
Merry Christmas.

They say never meet your heros but today I went to see @jacindaardern speak. The lady is a true inspiration not just for me but for my daughter too. To lead with kindness and empathy.
I fear my future essays are going to be peppered with quotes from today.

The little "chit chats" we have at the start of a meeting or Teams call (where we talk about our weekends, the weather, our pets or the traffic) are really important. Research shows that they actually work as a neural 'warm-up' for a deeper connection.
So the next time we get irritated by the small talk at the start of a meeting & push to start discussion on the topic at hand, we might remember that:
- small talk isn’t filler; it’s an entry point to foster group psychological safety.
- rapport isn’t a ‘nice to have’; it enables the trust needed for meaningful dialogue.
- alignment doesn’t begin with tasks; it begins with shared attention & mutual recognition.
Those first few minutes of “non-essential” chatter are doing critical work. They're building safety, alignment & a shared language that's the foundation for us to work more effectively together: https://t.co/N4N8rqFMhT. By Nick Wright. Fabulous graphic & signpost to this piece by @tashwillcocks

@HelenBevan Dear Helen, after a rollercoaser ride over the last 2 weeks this touched my core.
Being a kind leader is often seen as a weakness. It isnt but those who try are often treated poorly by those who prefer a more traditional style.
Thank you for reminding me its ok to be different.
