I think my most nineteenth century belief is that we should all take our free time much more seriously. I wrote this on the virtues of self-education and against wasting time on screens

Wise words from the always wonderful @Carter6D - so many us have benefitted from his coaching, kindness and example 💫👏🏻💪🏻♥️

"For most, the language of ego is a shell, it’s a protective reaction to the insecurity they feel."

Superb and hugely useful How I Lead piece from @Carter6D

[Radnor House School Twickenham @RadnorHouseTW]

Thank you to Amity, Shreya, Aoife, Florence and Lily for leading assemblies throughout the week on the topic of International Women's Day. They discussed the importance of the day for celebrating women as well as looking ahead to what still needs to be done. #IWD2024

[Libby N @LibsNich]

@steve_munby Aw that’s kind- thank you Steve. I learned from the best! X

[Jon Severs @jon_severs]

Why leaders should only stay in post for 6-8 years, carving out time for "critical impact opportunities" and why losing hope means you should get out of leadership.

@LibsNich is this month's How I Lead interviewee - a fascinating chat!

If you were influenced personally or professionally by the work of Professor John West-Burnham, do join us on November 30 to reflect on and honour his legacy and help to think about how we can now take that work forward.

[James Timpson @JamesTCobbler]

We’ve added a line to every colleagues job description. “Try every day to carry out a random act of kindness for a customer, a colleague or a member of the public…even one who doesn’t even come in to our shops.” Being kind is the best way to do business.
