@MoneySavingExp I was one of these people, I didn’t realise and there was very little advice about what I was entitled to. Everything was focusing on the funded hours. I went to sign up for these and found I could access this as well, which has made a difference already.

Electronic fetal monitoring involves multiple interactions between people, tasks, tools & technology, organisation, culture and behaviour, but work systems are often poorly optimised, finds new study.

Cultural differences, hybrid/remote teams, and overlapping deadlines are some of the common dynamics that can influence the opportunity to give - and share - feedback.
Here are a few models you can use to make your #feedback even more effective.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Adaptive leadership means shifting from being the leader who “knows it all” to the leader who's a “learn it all.” Five critical leadership skills for creating an environment in which learning things the organisation does not know how to do is valued over implementing flawlessly what it knows already:
1) Cross-cutting: leaders with more diverse networks create more value for the organisation.
2) Collaborating: fostering psychological safety to increase team performance.
3) Coaching: having critical conversations that develop others’ potential,
4) Culture shaping: shaping organisational culture by changing processes & systems.
5) Connecting: growing in empathy and authentic leadership.

Steve Jobs had his best ideas while walking—this Stanford study explains why...

In 2014, a team of Stanford researchers examined how creativity levels were impacted by walking.

They conducted experiments with 176 participants that placed them in different situations:

• Walking on a treadmill facing a wall
• Walking outside
• Sitting inside facing a wall
• Sitting outside

In each situation, the participants were asked to complete a range of tasks that are typically used to measure creative thinking. For example, a test of "divergent thinking" asked the participants to come up with as many uses as possible for a set of objects.

The results were incredible:

Participants were dramatically more creative while walking than sitting.

In fact, one group of participants who took back-to-back tests, first sitting inside and then walking inside on a treadmill, saw a 60% improvement in creative output while walking vs. sitting!

Walking, indoors or outdoors, had a similar robust positive impact on creative thinking.

The authors concluded, "Many people anecdotally claim they do their best thinking when walking. We finally may be taking a step, or two, toward discovering why."

Many of history's greatest thinkers, entrepreneurs, artists, and athletes have believed in the power of walking.

It's a simple, free tool we can all use to dramatically improve our lives. Schedule more walks into your weeks.

Simple challenge for all of you:

Go for a 30-minute tech-free walk every single day this week.

• No phone
• No music
• No podcasts
• No articles
• No audiobooks

Just you, your thoughts, your gratitude, and the fresh air.

It’s a simple reset that will unlock new creativity and shift your perspective.

"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it." - Søren Kierkegaard
