“Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. … To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Great to see the NHS EDI Improvement Plan published today, building on the NHS People Plan and providing a common focus to make the NHS a more compassionate and inclusive place to work, where everyone can belong and be themselves. https://t.co/sxLAxGBm24 #OurNHSPeople

Imagine your present choices are like small gifts that you’re sending to your future self.

Will your future self be happy to receive the choices you’re making today?

If not, think about how you can give that version of yourself what they need.

Should we ‘network with purpose’? Build relationships strategically?
Or because connecting is essential in itself? Let’s let go of the illusion that we’re in control and connect where we can because we’re human.

@StefanPowell I used to see people by my side as middle managers. Under pressure from seniors at the top.

I realise I’ve never seen someone claim to be the leader at the top. They must be a myth.

Everyone’s under pressure from ‘above’ in an open system - Just with different resources.

@StefanPowell “What’s driving that timeline?���

Often it’s not a ‘hard deadline’ after all.

Often there are politics under the surface. Egos. Fears.

Once we know more of the ‘ask behind the task’ we may be able to find alternative solutions we had yet to consider.

@weirb4 @SFMassie I can hear her mumbling to the earth along the way things we can’t yet fathom. She lives in the liminal space at the edge of the wild. And when we dare go to her - oh the stories she would tell.

I'm SO excited that the countdown has begun for my new podcast, Systems of Harm.

The 6 epsiode series will explore how design systems can perpetuate or mitigate system harm and exclusion, and what those of us working on them can to do create inclusive experiences.

@HannahDellarmi Ah coaching constellations - amazing choice! Let me know what you think and how you use it. It’s brilliant.

Managers need to mitigate their employees' fatigue around organizational changes. https://t.co/TmXhgPBcdh

@weirb4 Raising a glass in thanks with you and to you. So glad. 🙏

[Stefan Powell @StefanPowell]

Morning.

Don't try to be normal; be your wonderful unique self x

@mikechitty @Cleverestcookie What if it isn’t, presently, but could be. What’s the work of individuals and groups to move to that world?

@Wiltsgal What a lovely idea! What other headlines have you saved?

[Jason Brewster 🌟💙 @jasonbrewster]

@mikechitty @Cleverestcookie Then we’d have to make choices and be seen.
The things we, perhaps sometimes, say want more than anything and spend our lives chasing, yet can’t stand to hold.

[Jason Brewster 🌟💙 @jasonbrewster]

@mikechitty @Cleverestcookie So much less anxiety than having to realise we are powerful and responsible.
