Really well done to all those serving in the @TheRoyalWelsh battlegroup! Keep up the good work @RuStreatfeild ! 💪🏴
#WelshWarriors were testing their warfighting credentials in Estonia this month.
Ex Bold Dragon enabled the @TheRoyalWelsh-led eFP Battlegroup to integrate @forsvaretdk & @armeedeterre - with the @Kaitsevagi 1st Brigade.

Awesome🧵 from @WillJMeddings, thanks. World class basics are important, and we’ve all grappled with it before in one way or another. What should be the priority for leaders? Creating white space, focussing on basics or inspiring the team to grow? @Phil_Prosser_13 @DCrook70
Want you and your team to be the best in the world?
This story about Kobe Bryant explains how.
But it is really a story for junior leaders and their 'white space'.
A 🧵 (of course)

Awesome thread! Thanks @WillJMeddings !!
There are almost 4,000 TED Talks.
Here are the six best leader/#leadership development talks that we used at the Centre for @Army_Leadership when it started, plus the questions we used for discussion groups.
Great views while out for a run this morning. It’s the first time in a while I stopped to take in the view. Not my best run time, but tons of fresh air and feeling great. Happy weekend all!

Feeling wiser and a little intimidated by the things I don’t know about my first language… great 🧵
Drunk on the value of writing. God, I love my job. 🧵
🗨️ A bar was walked into by the passive voice.
💭 Two quotations marks walked into a “synonym”.
🗯️ A bar, a bar, a bar, dammit – epizeuxis walked into a bar!
💬 A synonym strolled into a tavern, an inn, and a gin joint.

Still so powerful to watch an outstanding senior leader giving such an honest personal summary of his struggles with mental health and how well we looks after (all) our people when they need it.
Worth your time to watch.
It’s time to talk.
Today is #TimeToTalk. General Sir Patrick Sanders speaks openly about his mental health struggles and encourages the entire Army to feel confident speaking about their experiences, concerns and struggles.

A brilliant way to start the day. Running with my dog as the sun rises and then a mad ride across Bristol to catch a train; it was only divine intervention which saw me catch the right train. 🚂 Have a great week everyone, feels like it’s got off to a good start!

After a busy but awesome week, I’m treating myself. Enjoying a fresh decaf coffee (in my favourite Timmy H’s mug), polishing my boots, listening to classic @U2, waiting for my teenage daughter to wake up. Feeling rather lucky. Have a great weekend all and take some time for you.

Great thread here; take a look if you have ever been on the fence about your own professional development or a challenge of any kind! Also great context for leaders to review how much more supportive they can be to others.
Thanks for sharing @Jamie_Harle_ really inspiring!
Dear Pte Harle, I knew you could do it, sort of…
Yesterday I attended a very delayed graduation for my second degree from the @BritishArmy.
This thread shows my personal barriers that stopped me starting and might be stopping you or someone in your team.
Like Pte Harle…
That’s some gleaming prior planning / admin in the field! @CORPSASM_1
