We all need to feel connection, respect and belonging in the workplace, it’s what brings out the good stuff in us;we feel invested. This can only happen if we also have autonomy in how we share & use our workplace environment: meal breaks, decent staff rooms…

One of history’s greatest scientists whose genius transcended all the oppression that women faced in the early 20th century. #MarieCurie

So true 🫶❤️ @SONHStrust @SONHSPreceptor @maryjowaldron @Steph_Athers @midwifeandmore @MsLynneBarnes

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

Excellent final day of our Midwives Leadership course @gloshospitals focusing on #inclusive-leadership delivered by the inspiring (and ever patient) @andymorford350 👏🏼 @glosbetterbirth @sagefemme2000

So concerning. Appreciate your support @glospmas striving to make our services safer and our workplaces healthier

New from the author of "Radical Candor": We should seek to build "radical respect" at work. There are two elements: 1) We have to honour individuality (rather than demand conformity) if we want every person in our team or collaboration to bring their full potential 2) We have to work on the basis of healthy collaboration (not coercion which doesn't improve results and blocks innovation) kimmalonescott.medium.com/what-is-radica… By @kimballscott

Love the cowardice (and irony) of a screenshot tattletale! 😏

Breaks @grh maternity have worryingly become an infrequent ‘luxury’ rather than a legal right & imperative safety measure on 12 hr shifts. Unbelievable! #Needmoremidwives @glospmas NHS staff on our knees @RishiSunak #nhs

Many staff I work with are frightened to speak up-to even try to improve just the basics (like a right to a 30 min break on a 12.5hr shift 🙄) for fear of backlash🤫🤐 6 C’s #courage 🗣️ @MidwivesRCM #NHSCrisis #freedomtospeakup

@Credhedz @Dawn_French 🤣

@Dawn_French That’s nothing. We lost the bar trivia quiz last night by one point. The last question was, "Where do women have the curliest hair?" Apparently the correct answer is, Fiji.

Apparantly I went out AND I’m still growing hair….#stopthepress
