@philllewellyn @w_roberts6 If you do get there let me know!

It’s possible achieving ‘work/life balance’ isn’t realistic.

Perhaps seeking a ‘work/life blend’ that works for each of our unique and dynamic needs, preferences and circumstances is a more useful target.

@chrisshambrook @MusSarkar Thanks for sending that over Chris, enjoyed the video!

[Tom Rusga @TomRusga]

@philllewellyn @w_roberts6 I think you raise an excellent point - describing work as something other than, rather than a part of, probably not helpful!

@HowellsDan @GaryHuttSC @collab_sports @coach_nickward @Back_in_Action @EricCressey @RhysIngram @MichlPearson @SophSmithMoore @benashworth Seconded!

@HermanNarula Have pre-ordered this off the back of @JimmysJobs podcast - fascinating episode and looking forward to the book!

@coachblueprint1 Managing time, expectations and boundaries perhaps some of the most under-developed qualities of many entering the work force

[Tom Rusga @TomRusga]

Toolset - the methods, techniques, approaches, devices and frameworks you use.

What tools could be useful to you? How effectively do you deploy them? And in what circumstances?

Skillset - based on your knowledge and understanding, the capabilities you bring to be effective in your working world.

What are the skills that you need to be effective in your world? How are you developing them?

@GaryHuttSC @dwhembro @eis2win Yep I agree. As practitioners we do have deliverables we’re accountable for though in a way that interns shouldn’t.

[Tom Rusga @TomRusga]

@GaryHuttSC @dwhembro @eis2win They will and whilst I’m not close to this specific role, those who are have made provision to ‘mentor the mentor’ too.

[Tom Rusga @TomRusga]

@GaryHuttSC @dwhembro @eis2win I think most important difference is the intent - not ‘cheap labour’ and a greater focus on development rather than delivery that’s then reflected in the roles, responsibilities and support around the role as well as the realistic prospect of progress to a higher level role.

[Tom Rusga @TomRusga]

@dwhembro Hi Dave, I’m not involved in all of the job designs and adverts but in my experience it’s reflective of the job’s roles & responsibilities and also where the role sits in relation to other members of the team; some of which may or may not be EIS employed.

[Tom Rusga @TomRusga]

After a uniquely challenging few years for athletes, coaches and support staff - 65 medals for @TeamGB and 124 medals for @ParalympicsGB has been a remarkable achievement.

Some inspiring and powerful moments that reaffirm the positive impact sport can have!

@RICH_AgilityLab I try not to get into feedback there and then as don’t feel it’s the most useful time to receive feedback after the disappointment of not getting a job. Most arrange a call, but have had one or two ask for written feedback too.

[Tom Rusga @TomRusga]

@RICH_AgilityLab When informing candidates they’re unsuccessful (normally by phone, but sometimes email depending on circumstances) I let them know I’m happy to provide feedback and how they can follow up to receive that
