We really don’t need all this noise. Endless emails, packed agendas. Rushed conversations. Thank you @charlie_psych this is incredibly important. Being still. Listening. Building trust. Fundamentally meeting our need to BE human and work with care to ourselves and others 🙏🏻

"People play differently when they're keeping score. However, the truth of this statement is more clearly revealed by a change in emphasis: people play differently when they are the ones keeping score. It's not about the leader keeping score for them." - Sean Covey #4DX #QOTD

Fantastic experience today at @Leeds_Childrens @LeedsHospitals with this one having botox on her leg for her cortical dysplasia. Every single staff member so cheerful and so glad to see her and she was so proud of herself getting a prize for being brave, thanks Martin Wing OPD!

POSITIVITY & SELF-CARE:
In the KPO team, we like to start with small incremental changes. So let us start with:

Having a cup of tea – slow down and take a moment, always ensure you make time for yourself each day.

Check-in with yourself and do something for YOU.

I need human interaction to feel uplifted and energised, working from home can limit this and I know some people struggle just like me. One thing that helps me is having a bit of a dance and sing along to some music with my dogs.

What works for you?

Today we will be supporting #DayofReflection marking one year since the first UK lockdown and an opportunity for us to reflect on our collective loss, support those who have been bereaved and hope for the future.

The primary ingredient for progress is optimism. The unwavering belief that something can be better is what drives the human race forward.
