Book 1️⃣6️⃣⠀ ⠀ Had me laughing, angry and empathetic. Often at the same time.⠀ ⠀ A lesson in what happens when individual purpose and values are compromised by an organisations behaviour. ⠀ ⠀ When great people exist within a dysfunctional system.⠀ ⠀ A lesson for anyone in here. And a few laughs, especially in places where you think you shouldn’t laugh. ⠀ ⠀ #purpose #values #health #secretdiary #juniordoctor #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #52booksin52weeks #booksofinstagram

Happy 88th birthday, to the worlds youngest 88 year old. Your joy for life, your resilience and your ability to wind us up consistently are without a doubt your strengths. The comedy on the other hand - still needs work. After all of these years. The hardest thing today was not being able to give you a hug and a kiss on the top of your head. Keep that positivity, and we’ll make sure we have times like this in the future. 🍻

Reading is my opportunity for reflection.⠀ ⠀ I know when my resilience is running low, these are the first things to disappear.⠀ ⠀ And until recently I wasn’t aware enough to realise.⠀ ⠀ At times of challenge pull on your values to create professional resilience. ⠀ ⠀ We’re gonna need it.⠀ ⠀ #resilience #learning #growthmindset #positivity #optimism #booksofinstagram #52booksin52weeks

#workingfromhome advice required please. ⠀ ⠀ How do you handle a co-worker that repeatedly stares at you in your office, and only leaves you alone when bribed with treats?⠀ ⠀ Harassment?⠀ ⠀ Extortion?⠀ ⠀ Expert advice required. ⠀ ⠀ #stayhome #stayhomesavelives #catstagram

(E)book 1️⃣5️⃣ - working backwards through Nigel Harrison’s books.⠀ ⠀ For £3 or so it’s a buy recommendation. Simple as that. ⠀ ⠀ Readily accessible. Practical. Challenging. And uplifting in equal measure. ⠀ ⠀ Number of the ideas reinforced across his books, which make it completely consistent. ⠀ ⠀ Being a true business partner and Performance consultant has never been needed more than right now. ⠀ ⠀ The ability to get underneath the surface meaning of requests and solve the real problem at hand. ⠀ ⠀ Respond v react. ⠀ ⠀ #performanceconsultants #problemsolving #businesspartner #learning #development #personalgrowth #growthmindset🌱

My state of the nation address. ⠀ ⠀ Where are you in the current situation:⠀ ⠀ React ❌⠀ or ⠀ Respond ✅⠀ ⠀ While we need to be quick to pivot in the circumstances, I want you to stop and reflect on which one of these you’ve been operating from. And why. ⠀ ⠀ I’ve seen a lot of ‘reaction’ in my industry in the form of:⠀ ⠀ ‘Get everything into a virtual classroom’ ⠀ ⠀ ‘Watch our webinar on turning classroom into virtual quickly’⠀ ⠀ And I’m asking you, politely, and strongly, to stop. 🛑 And just think. Think a little bit longer term, past the next hour. ⠀ ⠀ What is the legacy you’re going to leave by reacting? How could you change that by responding?⠀ ⠀ L&D world - be careful our ‘new world’ after this isn’t ‘I need one of those virtual classrooms’ because we’re creating a situation where:⠀ ⠀ ‘The King is dead. Long live this King.’⠀ ⠀ This is one of the biggest opportunities we’ve had in a long time to show the value of moving away from the classroom for everything. ⠀ ⠀ Please use it wisely.⠀ ⠀ #learning #virtualclassroom #learninganddevelopment #personaldevelopment #respondvreact
