The little "chit chats" we have at the start of a meeting or Teams call (where we talk about our weekends, the weather, our pets or the traffic) are really important. Research shows that they actually work as a neural 'warm-up' for a deeper connection. So the next time we get…

As a change leader, I've spent a lot of my professional life in workshops. I've participated in many workshops that have resulted in outstanding insights leading to positive action. I've also been in workshops that were a waste of everyone's time. So I appreciated this new…

I really like this new article on psychological safety (a belief that we can speak up, take risks & make mistakes without fear of being judged, humiliated or punished) at work. It sets out a series of activities/approaches that all of us can use to build psychological safety in…

Sir Bobby Charlton RIP. The saddest news. The greatest English sportsman ever, world champion, European champion, league champion, FA Cup winner, Ballon d’Or, such a wise club director, a gentleman and a gentle man. Thoughts with Sir Bobby’s family.

Job descriptions are changing. As the pace of change quickens & organisations move toward more project-based work, static JDs that set out a series of tasks/duties don't work as well. Three new approaches are emerging: 1) Outcomes focussed: specify the outcomes expected from a…

Do not use risk assessment to stratify clinical populations with suicide and self harm distress into high and low risk groups to allocate treatment. Focus on the drivers of distress and engage modifiable risk factors. Use techniques that are known to be effective. #IASPPIRAN2023
