#MondayMotivation Thankyou @AllthingsIC
This #ReadABookDay I recommend Take Pride. I’ve nearly finished reading my copy and it even went on holiday with me. It’s wonderfully practical, inspirational and useful. A must-read for professional communicators: https://t.co/Wxsf9L9VQi

@thea_lenarduzzi I heard your interview at the Hay Festival and am now reading (and loving) Dandelions. May we please have a DM conversation? I have 'una rosa' I would like to introduce to you, set in the same era you have written about. So many parallels. Thank you.

@mstpparry I will add you in to any further tweets on this. Feel free to engage.

@TicketmasterCS And with 5 working days’ notice to discuss a ticket resale? Or within enough time for some opportunity to deal with a human-issue family crisis that shouldn’t be disclosed on Twitter? We need a human voice with a human brain and some ability to make decisions.

@TicketmasterUK how do I have a voice call with a customer service agent. Absolutely none of your online options fulfils my criteria. URGENT #ticketmastercustomerservice

[Sheila Parry @Sheila_Parry]

@TicketmasterCS Yes I have done that, as has my son, at 1.57pm on Monday 19th March - ticket 24090992 - and he has had no reply. We are customers of more than 10 years and we are being ignored. Apart from by your good self. But we are running out of time to fix an issue for a gig on 28/03.

@SimonMonger @iabcuki @LauraDesert @GMay_ @Sarah_Futurum @Titian73 @RachaelWrites_ @SarahParkerPR @Kennndoll45 @mbunkerlondon @Eleanorross102 @Beteenus Or even great things!! Say hi to IABC friends in New York. I would have loved to go but am off to a friend’s wedding this weekend which will definitely compete in the emotional stakes

@SimonMonger @iabcuki @LauraDesert @GMay_ @Sarah_Futurum @Titian73 @RachaelWrites_ @SarahParkerPR @Kennndoll45 @mbunkerlondon @Eleanorross102 @Beteenus Congratulations Simon, I am sure with your energy and commitment the committee will achieve to do greet things

@theICcrowd @AllthingsIC @mrsjennifield @danaleeson What a fab idea @theICcrowd was, so timely and relevant. Have recommended it to so many people over the years as a great source and network. 👏👏👏

@adamdriver85 @goodgrieftrust Hi Adam, I hope it’s not too personal to say what a lovely product you are of your parents and I am sure they would be so proud of who you are. I was lucky enough not to be orphaned until I was in my 50s but I still didn’t feel ready to join the older generation! Still don’t.

A moment of kindness and chocolate from my friends @luminouslondon. Remember, remember 13th November #WorldKindnessDay2021 Thank you to kind people everywhere.

More from Jim Donald #Cohesion2022 “be a freshman everyday - remember your attitudes when you were nervous, curious, had respect for others and had to ask for directions. Take those into every single job you ever have and you have the foundation for a great career.” Worked 4 me.

[Sheila Parry @Sheila_Parry]

Great lessons from former Starbucks CEO Jim Donald on how to lead: be curious/tell great stories/pay attention to your employees/give people the power to take risks and freedom to fail/be aligned in your messages but be bilingual in terms of hearts and minds. #Cohesion2021

This is an excellent and thoughtful column on WFH

Tired of onscreen working? I just learned the 20/20/20 rule from @MNordNL at #IABCConverge21. Every 20 mins take your eyes off the screen, look at something 20 metres away for at least 20 seconds. Does that count as 3 learnings? 🤦‍♀️ #ConvergeTable
