@sstansfieldcb @One_Glos Back to Swindon Hospital @GWH_NHS as Deputy Director - Improvement & Partnerships, very exciting but a break first! Hope you’re well Sarah.

"Abstraction laddering": a technique to get a group of people to consider the why, what & how we are seeking to do, with equal focus. There is also a link in this article to a fantastic set of templates for conversations for change: uxdesign.cc/abstraction-la… Thank you @dastillman

In a fearless organisation, people feel psychologically safe to challenge current thinking & practice, without fear of being criticised, shunned or ridiculed. It's tough to build a fearless organisation but people & performance levels flourish in them. By @AmyCEdmondson @tnvora

Women make up 80% of the NHS workforce, yet NHS structures & systems still benefit men more than women. New research in healthcare & other sectors where women dominate shows how bias against women persists hbr.org/2022/03/resear… Getting ready for #InternationalWomensDay 8 March

The chains that bind us most at work are not the policies, processes & bureaucratic rules that we have to adhere to. Much worse are the mental chains of our past experiences, fixed beliefs & perceptions of our own limitations. HT & graphic: @tnvora
