In South Africa, many are against nutrition professionals working for industry. This poses a challenge to engage with industry & have an impact on our food system. Q: what impact can a junior intern have in such a large institution? Away with super-sized meals be a good start!
Gunter Kuhnle@ggkuhnle

This is an excellent opportunity to get experience in the food industry and be influential in making changes to improve diet. We can't change the food system if we don't engage with those who are part of it.

Leading across a system requires a massive & ongoing commitment to the practice of collaboration. A new report from @TheKingsFund sets out six areas of practice for effective collaborative leadership: 1) create a safe, inclusive & trusting environment 2) build & maintain healthy relationships 3) create a shared purpose 4) manage power dynamics 5) surface and manage conflict 6) promote shared decision-making t.co/CK4T6JuK3a. Thank you @nicolawalshkf

Balance rarely comes from increasing efficiency. It usually involves reducing responsibilities. The more priorities we have, the harder they are to juggle. It's better to do a few things well than be overwhelmed by many. A key to avoiding burnout is deciding what doesn't matter.
