@sbkaufman It’s such a great point @sbkaufman

According to the extraordinary @FionaMurden; watching sport is exciting, engaging, visceral. Watching sport is key to learning and performance, improving our own capability. Sport brings together observing, learning and doing.

@MintridgeFDN Thank you 🙏🏻

How a Lost Kid in Detroit Discovered the Technology That Beats Every App

Ancient wisdom understood what modern life keeps trying to erase.

Fulfilment doesn’t come from climbing higher. It comes from our ability to connect.

Not a feel-good slogan. Just the most powerful force we’ve got.

@sbkaufman Totally agree on taking responsibility where we can. Psychologically, autonomy is key to motivation but when someone’s in survival mode, even small choices can feel out of reach. It’s not either/or. Empowerment starts with understanding what’s blocking agency in the first place.

[Fiona Murden CPsychol @FionaMurden]

@sbkaufman Yup - unless people feel a responsibility for their own life they are just being pushed about by every external force. And they of course are unrelenting putting people in a pretty unhealthy position to say the least!

[Fiona Murden CPsychol @FionaMurden]

The most advanced technology in your life isn’t your phone. It’s YOU.

But we weren’t given a user manual. So we keep searching for the next wellness app.

We’re built like Ferraris,
but most of us are stuck in first gear,
with no idea where the clutch is.

[The Mintridge Foundation @MintridgeFDN]

As the amazing @FionaMurden shares in her book, Mirror Thinking, simply having an adult who is not a parent or relative show interest and belief in a young person is often enough to help send them on a more positive trajectory through life...

Being kind and empathetic doesn’t guarantee people feel heard.
Here’s the piece we often miss - and how to fix it.

The best way to improve your writing is not always to write more. It's often to read more.

Instead of just enjoying the content, study the form. Pay attention to how they set up ideas, structure paragraphs, signpost transitions, and shape sentences.

Role models elevate art.

[Fiona Murden CPsychol @FionaMurden]

@sbkaufman @CeliaHardy20 I love the first line. It’s so critical as a first step to really fulfilling potential and something too many slip into ie ‘victim mindset’ without even realising. Look forward to reading 😊!

@benryanwriter @sbkaufman I’ve spent my career working with senior leaders - and in that domain I’d say it’s in part because other skills (ie social and emotional) are far harder to quantify. For most it’s easier to rely on what we can quantify - but also to dislike what we can’t measure up to.

[Fiona Murden CPsychol @FionaMurden]

@sbkaufman I would guess people hate it because it’s something that culture values and something that they feel judged against throughout life. Most often in a way that is not actually representative of what the full spectrum of intelligence represents.

@MattSeedorff We know someone who has lost their home. It feels unreal. It’s all happened so quickly. I just hope that everyone stays safe - including the incredible firefighters and pilots trying to stop the spread.

[Sara Fitzmaurice @sarafitzmaurice]

Palisades Fire growing & moving fast. Moments ago from the Brentwood Countrymart. Praying for the brave firefighters, pilots flying into the heat & smoke to drop retardant, prayers for friends and neighbors affected and at risk. #palisadesfire

Do you ever wish you could help someone at work or in your personal life, but feel unsure about how to do it?
