So many lovely thoughtful gifts on my retirement from Strathcarron Hospice today. Thank you all. It was a perfect day. This very special poem by Dr Sally Boa was icing on the cake! @BoaSally @strathcarron1 @CormacRussell

Waiting for change is hard. All I can do is prepare the ground & nurture my roots so my feet have somewhere solid to stand, & that if my branches get battered in a storm, they can regrow, changed slightly by the environment around me. Thankfully I'm stood in a forest & not alone.

@j0ckpaddy Indeed I did appreciate it very much. Thank you for your kindness

Trusting relationships are at the heart of our ability to deliver change. Trust takes time to build & can be lost quickly. To quote a Dutch proverb: "trust comes in like a tortoise & goes out like a horse". The "Trust Trifecta" from @TCI_ca suggests 3 components we need to work on to be trusted leaders & collaborators:
1) Authenticity
2) Connection
3) Competence

Denise & Steph are fundraising by shaving their heads in memory of their mum & mum in law.

"The care our loved ones received from all the staff at @strathcarron1 was 1st class. They passed away in comfort & with #dignity.

People say we’re brave. No. Our hair will grow back".

I’m greatly looking forward to speaking at this important event and connecting with friends, communities and colleagues from across Scotland to strengthen our collective voice to reduce inequalities ❤️🙏🏻

This book review moved me to tears. For 25 years, this man has carried the trauma of misunderstanding the changes in his mum's breathing as she was dying.
We all need to understand & talk about dying. Nobody should have to carry that unnecessary burden.

It's up again!

So lucky to have learnt these skills to craft a generative conversation from Peter Pula @AxiomNews, generously funded by pals @DemeMove.

@parkheadartist speaks beautifully about the careful art of stewardship & importance of connection.
