Stories are the most powerful way to engage people in change, even more than data (although we also love data). When we hear someone else's story, we can find a connection at the level of shared values. We have to make the time/space to listen to stories. Thanks @sherrillknezel
Make memories and share love and friendship, not COVID-19, this holiday season.
How each one of us behaves over the holidays, will set the stage for COVID-19 cases in 2022, so now is not the time to stop being careful.
Vaccination is your best defense. https://t.co/j6DgHUG9vR
Vaccination & Breakthrough Infections report for Nov: rate of hospitalization was 35/100,000 cases for unvaccinated individuals versus 6/100,000 for those fully vaccinated. The COVID-19 vaccine is not a cure but will ⬇ risk of transmission & ⬇ risk of serious illness/death.
Cultivating compassion is not a religious practice focused on ensuring we go to heaven or a good future life. It’s about living a good day-to-day life here and now. It’s about being a happy person. Warm-heartedness is a fundamental good human quality.
I just finished leading a session with @ck4q at #IHIForum on taking an improvement approach to the wellbeing of our people. We discussed the importance of energy for change. More information on the 5 energies for change written by my colleague @rosielhunt https://t.co/A7Ro6945KU
I'm a fan of Tuesday's tips from @jeanmariespeaks. Often when we listen, we do so in judgement & are just waiting to be able to jump in & respond. If we can fight the urge to judge & instead listen with curiosity, we open our minds to possibilities & breakthroughs can happen
It was great to catch up today with my fellow improvement leader @ck4q who is in BC Canada. Christina sent me details of the Highly Adoptable Improvement Model, that combines improvement methods with approaches to build energy & engagement & avoid burnout: https://t.co/jm2nBem3iR
Any team meeting, virtual or face to face, should always start with a team check-in, that is a core part of the agenda. Check-ins provide a massive psychological boost to our teams: https://t.co/HogBV9tRHt Thank you @aimyourteam @dbarrath

Anger and aggression sometimes seem to be protective because they bring energy to bear on a particular situation, but what needs to be acknowledged is that that energy is blind. It takes a calm mind to be able to consider things from different angles and points of view.
Dr Takaya reached out to some of her #YXE doctor colleagues who contributed 💰 to print thousands of stickers, coloring sheets, crayons & bandaids that will be available on site at Prairieland Vaccine Clinic to kids 5-11
We strive for psychological safety in our teams, but what comes after that? Psychological safety fulfils lower tiers in Maslow's hierarchy of needs but higher levels need "psychological enrichment", allowing true learning & experimentation: https://t.co/6axcdOLzy3 V @tom_geraghty
I enjoy having walking meetings and need to have more of them. It's time to swop more Teams/Zoom calls, get back to the phone, wrap up warm & appreciate the power of walking. Thank you @CheriSterman @VizwerxGroup
Multitasking is a myth. The problem is it requires us to keep switching between contexts & every time we do that, we have to shift attention (to a new context/new set of rules) & disengage from the parallel task. It slows down thinking & learning & erodes memory. TY @ImpactWales
Everyone wants to live in a peaceful world, but it’s necessary to understand that what destroys peace is anger and hatred. This is why the long term goal is to create inner peace within individuals, so contributing to a more compassionate humanity.
