@RCOTNYRegion #OTalk I find people who get things done inspiring.

Final question of the night… Question 5 - Is it more important to inspire others, or be the one that gets things done? #OTalk

@RCOTNYRegion #OTalk important to be able to be both, in different situations. I don't think you can control whether others are inspired by you, but you can get things done.

@RCOTNYRegion #OTalk Passion is complex. If you need others to come on board, you need to know more about how people tick (a skill) and how to spread passion. It is possible to lead as a one-person crusade, in which case it would have to be your passion that keeps you motivated.

Question 4 - Is passion more important than skill in leadership? #OTalk

@RCOTNYRegion #OTalk I agree that a manager is not necessarily a leader, but I was once appointed to a grade higher than I had been interviewed for (didn't read the small print) and found myself up to my neck in leadership expectations. it only took 9 years, but I think I cracked it!

Question 3 - Did you ever find yourself leading by accident? #OTalk

@RCOTNYRegion #OTalk because they look, listen and assess before they plan

Question 1 (finish the statement) Occupational therapists make great leaders because…… #OTalk

@OTalk_ #OTalk Hello, I'm a first timer, just getting my bearings!

Don’t forget the hashtag in every tweet- remember it’s just 1 T and pronounced O Talk (as in occupation talk) #OTalk

@OTalk_ @PaulWilkinson94 @RCOTNYRegion @OT_rach Hello

Its 8pm that means its #OTalk time. Tonight's topic: Occupational Therapy and Belonging in Leadership. Hosted by @PaulWilkinson94 from @RCOTNYRegion committee. It's @OT_rach @OTalk_ account support tonight. Say hello, let us know you're here tonight!!!

So grateful to have been awarded a grant from @ElizabethCasso1 towards my Masters studies starting in September. At 63, their recognition I still have things to learn and offer to the OT profession is truly appreciated.

@OTalk_ Rather than focus on labels (styles, needs, preferences), shouldn't we be learning/teaching how to articulate what we want?

Q6. What changes are required within the profession to enable an approach that focuses on learning needs and preferences instead of learning styles? #LearningNeedsAndPreferences #LearningStyles #OTalk
