[Existential Comics (find me on bluesky) @existentialcoms]

A "free thinker" is usually, ironically, someone who thinks the ideas that they've thoughtlessly absorbed from their culture were generated spontaneously in their mind on account of their genius.

Serious thinking means knowing where you got your ideas from.

[Dr Julie Luscombe @JulieLuscombe]

Lots of gems to take away from @Relationology seminar courtesy of @leadershipjsy - the importance of nurturing relationships as a leader. Treat everyone like a VIP and love the idea of 'switching over rather than switching off' when we get home! Nurturing home relationships too!

[Kevin Keen @keenjersey]

Tickets for next @leadershipjsy event on July 2nd with @MattBirdSpeaker have been selling really fast over the last few days. So don’t wait too long. Nominated charity for the event is @CheshireHome_je
