@TanyaMo15935369 @clementOU1 I work in the void sector, so know exactly what you mean. Often the landlord is forgotten.

[Natasha Lorimer Wing @LorimerWing]

@HLPB329 I also did not earn much for 4 years between the two children.

[Natasha Lorimer Wing @LorimerWing]

@monikapend @sin_j007 great call to action. how did you share the slide show on twitter?

#oub329 WK17 Social change enabled by leaders through storytelling has the power to change laws, and perceptions. Creating conversations that would never otherwise be considered. Reframing and addressing systemic issues is truly liberating. Storytelling is a part of life......🌎

#oub329 WK16 Purpose in leadership is vital. I have learned that a visual symbol can convey a raft of meaning that I did not consciously think I knew. Social media and technology have enabled the coalitions of different groups to join forces to achieve a common purpose.

[Natasha Lorimer Wing @LorimerWing]

#oub329 WK 15 resistance of any kind is one of the most energy-sapping efforts a team or a leader can do. It is a shame that sometimes it is the only way change can happen. The cost is negative feelings in whichever camp loses. I have learned that I walk away and say no.

[Natasha Lorimer Wing @LorimerWing]

#B329 WK14 a change that I will make after this week is asking for help when a problem is presented that I don't know how to deal with. I have learned that it is ok not to know all the answers and that being open is key to resolving problems both personally and professionally. 😀

[Natasha Lorimer Wing @LorimerWing]

#B329 WK14 I have learned that business leadership is about using skills we already have. Dealing with issues that are tame, wicked, and critical. Asking for help, finding solutions with a 3-step approach. Ending with a call to action.

@ClouOUB329 @B329Leadership That could work but what if Government investment was put into the house to make it livable and the profits were used to pay back the loan? There is a tendency to keep charging landlords but no real incentive to create a different outcome and reduce the shortage of housing.

[Natasha Lorimer Wing @LorimerWing]

#OUB329 @B329Leadership
#b329leadershipchallenge Is there a housing shortage in the UK? If so why are there over 257,331 long-term empty homes? A Government led program needs to be implemented to use make use of these houses through incentives. Do you agree?

#OUB329 Wk12 the impact on one's mental health of working in a negative and in some cases zero-sum game can be very difficult. I have found that positivity breeds positivity. A negative person in a tram can bring the whole mood down and from a leader, it's even more toxic.

[Natasha Lorimer Wing @LorimerWing]

#OUB329 WK12 I have learned that I have a coaching collaborative style but also do a lot of delegation which surprised me as I thought that this was one of my weaknesses. It may be that I need to translate this into the real world more.

[Natasha Lorimer Wing @LorimerWing]

@ValeryValery91 @lynnrobertscc how very true, all too often we lose sight of the goal and focus on the ego.

[Natasha Lorimer Wing @LorimerWing]

#OUB329 WK11 Without robust discussions in a leadership role real change will not happen. Change is not easy but conflict handled in a positive non-personal way will create an exciting environment to grow. Personal conflict is toxic.

[Natasha Lorimer Wing @LorimerWing]

I have learned that conflict at work can be uncomfortable if your line manager is not sure of their position and is against listening and learning. I have however also learned that staying silent is more difficult personally.
