Assertive kindness... something to think about. Basic things that we shouldn't take for granted...
Instead of passive aggressive signs, Let’s put up assertive kind signs @NeedsAtWork #Wellbeing

So many thought provoking questions/themes today. Feeling motivated and inspired @SpeakUp_Scot
Think back to the last time you were challenged and think 'how did you respond?' @MeganReitz1 at the #SpeakUpScot23 Conference

One of my favourite change quotes is from @nancymdixon: "The greatest knowledge deficit in organisations is not the lack of sharing nor poorly designed repositories. Rather, it is the inability to hold authentic conversations". So I was delighted to see these ideas expanded in this blog & sketchnote from @tnvora: qaspire.com/how-to-have-an-e…. Conversations are the currency of great leadership.

Without the NHS I would not be here today. Thank you #NHS! Times can be tough and not everything goes to plan. But free at the point of delivery for all and a drive to keep delivering for those who need our services is why I continue to work for NHSG.
Today marks the 75th Anniversary of the #NHS which was founded on 5 July 1948. Buildings, historic monuments, and other high-profile sites across the country will #LightUpBlue this evening to reflect on 75 years of free health and social care at the point of need. #NHSScot75

Team work makes the dream work, my wee boys favourite phrase when we play Duplo. Been feeling it at work the last few weeks seeing our team work so collaboratively, with care, shared learning and motivation. #teamwork @EveLamond @NhsgStarAwards
