We lost a dear friend,
Annie De Silva. The ceremony brought ppl together from across the wld, laughing/crying/singing/celebrating Annie’s uniqueness & nrg. She was a radiant light & co-founded the Prana Lounge in Sri Lanka, a lasting legacy. We miss you Annie but carry you w/ us.

Building on above thread…My own celebration of female entrepreneurship is on the link. #FloralBoxFormula tells my grandmother’s story of extreme resilience; her lessons in life & leadership are as relevant tday as they were when she started up in 1950s!

…Plenty to reflect & act on. And one hot topic that resonated was need to celebrate & support women entrepreneurs. Because this is core theme of my book ‘The #FloralBoxFormula which tells story of my grandmother’s flower shop in the Midlands. Told you it was an on-point episode!

[Tom Hadley @HadleysComment]

The #FloralBoxFormula captures lessons in life & leadership from my grandmother’s flower shop in the Midlands. It’s a celebration of old school values but recipes for success are as relevant today as they were when the rickety door of The Floral Box swung open for the 1st time.

On this… One takeaway is that business case for gender equality & for addressing latent barriers & biases has been made. Focus is now on making change happen on the ground - & this is where convening & galvanising power of representative employer orgs really comes to the fore.

The photo on this post is taken just outside the Floral Box in the early 70s. And that’s me in the pram. If you’d told me then that 50 odd years down the line I’d be writing a book about the shop…..#FloralBoxFormula #Nuneaton @ClaireH_NN

Nothing brings a team together quite like a bit of friendly competition! ☀️

Earlier this year, our Care Team took a break from their busy schedules for a team day at The Ark and Barnet Rugby Club. The day included a sports day-style challenge, a scavenger hunt and a team picnic.

A privilege to deliver one of the keynote talks at #SussexSkills26 event in plush surrounds of the Amex Stadium. This was a timely platform for showcasing latest Youth Employment UK research. Plenty to build on & a real sense of collective resolve: Let’s make change happen!

[Tom Hadley @HadleysComment]

@MarkCCrowley Yes agree with that last point 100%. The role of employers as ‘social hubs’ and human ‘connectors’ is more important than ever. The same applies to sports clubs and community groups.

[Tom Hadley @HadleysComment]

@Redd_rum_ Yep, and who do we reckon is most likely Villa player to be called up next to England squad: TBH? Madjo? Hemmings?

#avfc #threelions

[Tom Hadley @HadleysComment]

New CL ditty (to tune of ‘what a night’)?

🎶We’re all agreed,
Watching Villa in the Champions League
Ain’t nothing like it, it is all I need
Madrid in May, it’s guaranteed🎶
