After attention creativity is probably our most precious asset. Don’t give it away lightly!

Some straightforward tweaks to the (Seed) Enterprise Investment Scheme could really help get equity funding to SMEs. I've just signed this petition. Will you add your name and share too?

Where next on the road to recovery? 'I'm doing OK, but the world around me is not.' I hear versions of this often and I empathise with it deeply. My June newsletter for Leadership Squared is public, so feel free to share it. https://t.co/6b1Cn1BDMw

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! When we use our voices in an authentic and graceful way, it has more ripple effects than we can imagine. #MyTwitterAnniversary

In a world of chaos where everyone seems to highjack the narrative, the non-verbal has never been more important.

We can all benefit from learning to communicate without words.

On my mind. With all that’s been going on in the world these last few years, we seem to have begun to find a way collectively to acknowledge emotions like grief, loss, anxiety, fear and sadness. But it’s made me wonder if we talk enough about anger? #anger https://t.co/h3xNyiHSyJ

For many of us there is a growing exhaustion around meeting culture, both online and face to face. Hybrid has come to mean not only splitting the week between different places of work but also being in two places at once: present both in real life and digitally at the same time.

Empathy fatigue is real and it's draining! I unpick how to use it for showing up with more compassion #LeadershipSquared #selfleadership #growthedge https://t.co/bxFkhBfYZf

@SAMGREIS Everything minus the low rise jeans … that’s a hard no.

@Peston The sleight of hand which convinces a population it’s more important to restrict their neighbours than the government. It has been interesting and instructive to see what kind of political scandal actually lands with the public.

Compassion fatigue is a a misnomer. Herein lies the challenge for most leaders: we tend to get trapped by our empathy, making us unable to shift to compassion. Is empathy weighing you down? #empathyfatigue #leadership #newnormal

[Monique Borst @Monique_Borst]

This month in Leadership Squared I'm unpicking compassion, 'that slap' plus a few other things #disinformation #misinformation https://t.co/su5v7OPUbC

VUCA. Volatility. Uncertainty. Complexity. Ambiguity. Our new normal radically different leadership context that can rapidly degrade our brain systems. Interesting read on how supplements and microdosing offer support.

How would life be different if you brought a beginner’s mind to difficulties?

😡It is INSANE that there is no central govt site for refugees to find english classes that local authorities must provide.

It really isn’t hard to have one site where a refugee can enter a postcode & find local options immediately.

Anybody out there want to take on this task?
