With many of us returning to work today for the start of 2019 this is a helpful reminder to look after ourselves, and to recognise the symptoms of burnout in time to do something about it.

@BBCWomansHour @VivGroskop @Emmabarnett I got engaged in November, and we were thinking about what our wedding would be like... I 100% want to do a speech, I love public speaking, and it’s a big day! He was less keen, much more of a traditionalist! I will be speaking though!

So insightful Henry, excellent example of leadership!

[Henry Stewart @happyhenry]

For the last 12 months at Happy I have tried to make no decisions as a leader.

Employee happiness is at a high, sales are up 30% and profit has more than doubled.

If you run your organisations, could you decide to make no decisions?

Great to have attended the Association for Project Management Awards last night with Gate One, who were a finalist for the 2018 APM Project Management Consultancy of the Year award. Sadly we didn’t win, but there’s always next year!

The sign language interpreter doing the Brexit Agreement on BBC News is perfectly conveying the perplexing fuckery of this situation #Brexit #BrexitChaos

Happy #worldkindnessday!

The impacts of being kind are lasting, and people will always remember how you made them feel, plus being kind doesn’t cost anything, and it’s contagious 😊 https://t.co/jEwpwBvWpt

The day finally came for me to start my new role as People & Talent Manager at Gate One, and what a great day it was! The start of a very exciting chapter of my career!

So happy to join a people-centric business that stays true to their values. Plus it’s…https://t.co/7U5a14mZKz

Do I like night swims? I often reply with a quote from Martin Luther King "Only in the darkness can you see the stars" followed by a quote from William Shakespeare, "There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so." Basically it's all perception #GreatBritishSwim 😊

@thameswater Thank you Ashé

[Thames Water 💧 @thameswater]

We’re aware some customers in #N1 and #N7 are experiencing no water/low pressure. This is due to a burst water main on Offord Road #N1. We’re on our way to investigate now and we’ll provide an update as soon as we have more info.

@BBCBreakfast @JeremyH09406697 Genuinely shocking, I wonder how many others there are that are facing this too? It is like we have gone back into the Victorian age!

Maintaining or improving your mental health is so important to your overall wellbeing, and yet so often it is the thing that gets pushed down the priority list for so many.

Really insightful article on D&I, all too often businesses follow what other businesses are doing, without properly assessing whether it is the right thing for them, and if their initiative will produce the intended results. #diversityandinclusion https://t.co/8UPidlx7em

[Megan Forbes @Meg_forbes]

Brilliant, and insightful article, provides a useful reminder that you need to #selfcare in order to be the most productive and positive version of yourself, which is something that all too often falls down, or off the list of priorities for many. https://t.co/wSJGFY5DAT

Show interest in people. Smile. Say thank you. Don't tell when you can ask: help people find their own solutions. Step out of the way. Trust. Simple steps towards creating a happy workplace.
