The sound of starlings in this scrub near Crosby beach stopped me in my tracks yesterday. Volume up!

Spring is definitely in the air. A half term walk brought sunshine, birdsong and clouds of ?Blackthorn blossom - a perfect antidote to long days online!

Really enjoyed being part of this, and fielding lots of great questions. I feel confident we'll see more quietly powerful women emerging as really effective leaders in their own right

When you burn people out, you push them out. Stars are the first to leave—they have the most opportunities.
The solution is not to pile on the perks. It’s to pinpoint the root causes of overload and design more manageable jobs.
If you want to keep people, stop exhausting them.

What’s the most thought-provoking book you’ve read in the past year?

Quieter, introverted people can be mistakenly billed as aloof or shy, but we’re often the calm centre of things, building collaborations one conversation at a time. We need recognition for our different, yet equally valuable, skills — @thinking_ally link.medium.com/3Of8PqGwbBb

Good to see this attempt to shift to power skills instead of soft skills, and to see what makes the list. What do you think?
Helen Bevan@HelenBevan
Many commentators talk about the importance of so-called "soft skills" for leadership into the future. @IDEOU has (so appropriately) rebranded them as "power skills". Here's their brilliant list of 12 key power skills: 1) Cultivating joy 2) Meaningful collaboration 3) Small-scale experimentation 4) Grounding in purpose 5) Creating community 6) Frame shifting 7) Leading with empathy 8) Emotional proofreading 9) Making room for more voices 10) Leading with questions 11) Finding balance 12) Agility ideou.com/blogs/inspirat… Thank you @FerraroRoberto for the link & graphic

@RadioLento @HelenJMacdonald @ShepherdWells @WildlifeTrusts Thank you. I was just looking at one of these in our garden the other day and thinking I should look it up. It was on the mint plant, which I now realise was a massive clue to its identity!

Thanks to @HelenJMacdonald and @ShepherdWells for id-ing this as a mint moth.
Here's more about them from @WildlifeTrusts.

Precious tiny moth in the garden. Anyone know what type it is?

@LouMycroft If you haven't read anything from @ChimamandaReal I'd recommend either Half of a Yellow Sun or Americanah. Not yet read her other novels but I'm sure they're equally good.
