Creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, & supported enabling them to perform at their best even in difficult times

What does it take to lead change across an ecosystem? #QI

I'm working on a newsletter issue about the increase in awareness and popularity of psychological safety.

Feeling energised & grateful for the opportunity to spend the last two days with this group of inspiring #Leaders from NWAngliaFT

Facilitating deeper conversations on #Authority #Authenticity #Power #Influence & #Negotiation

Excited to follow their journeys

Absolutely inspiring & practical notes from Lisa The iCrowd CIC on developing our nurses & midwives identity as innovators
My takeaway
⭐️ constraints are the mother of innovation
⭐️ the need to develop mindset skills & pivoting abilities
⭐️ advocacy & representation is a must

'Klara and the Sun' by Kazuo Ishiguro is a wonderful example

Through Klara's lens, you explore the complexities of human emotions, the yearning for connection, and the power of empathy in an increasingly technological world.

#KlaraAndTheSun #Empathy '

Enabling leaders isn't just about providing opportunities, it's about creating environments that nourish their growth, challenge their perspectives, and cultivate their potential.

We must foster spaces where leadership can truly flourish.

#LeadershipDevelopment #StayCurious

There's lots of guidance for leaders on 'listening with empathy'. This research-based article says much of it (based on the idea of 'walking in others shoes') is problematic. 'Walking in shoes' gives us a clear picture of how we would feel if we were the other person but not how
