I’ve spent the majority of my career helping managers understand how to lead their people better. Here are six things I think every manager should focus on… 🧵 #Management #leadership #coaching

@Translink_NI Is the full line closed or will trains still run from Grand Central to Jordanstown and simply stop before whitehead?

#TRAIN Due to signalling problems between #Whitehead and #Larne Harbour the line is closed. Train services running through these stations will be cancelled. Disruption is expected until further notice. ℹ️ journeycheck.com/nirailways/ Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause

Despite the fact that stations are being equipped with scanner tech. On mLink I think I can buy a ticket. But the only options I see for return tickets seem to be for off-peak and I cannot check train times. I am baffled.

I am beyond confused by @Translink_NI’s apps and purchase methods. There are two apps. Translink Journey Planner and Translink mLink. On journey planner I can check train times and purchase a ticket. But it’s not actually a ticket, it’s a QR code that lets me redeem a ticket.

Now over a week since bags went missing with @British_Airways. We’ve had 2 out 3 returned. No clarity on the final one. They don’t seem to know where it is. And don’t seem particularly concerned with finding it. Cool.

@British_Airways Thanks for this, Cody. I’m already aware of it, but the issue is there have, concerningly, been no updates for over 2 days. You’re still just “searching for bags”. And no one seems to able to give any level of clarity.

@jonnymccormick We're sorry to hear about the delay to your luggage. To track applicable updates, please use the following online tracker. When an update is available it will show there: mybag.aero/baggage/#/pax/… Cody

Now into day three with no baggage from @British_Airways. No info on their online portal, no one on the phones has any info either. 7 flights from LHR>BHD today (at least 4 yesterday) and no clarity on getting bags. What a truly infuriating customer experience.

@johncgardner @British_Airways Same position, John. Absolutely bereft of any information. Truly shocking.

Hey @British_Airways, it’s been 2 full days without my luggage on a short hop from London to Belfast. ZERO updates, ZERO communication. Only reason I even know where my bag is? Apple AirTags—not you. Unacceptable service for a “flagship” airline. Do better. #BritishAirways #LostLuggage

This would be a fundamental reshaping of Diageo’s portfolio. Also…does it feel like Guinness is a steal at $10bn USD?! Diageo ‘could sell off Guinness for $10bn’ - The Times and The Sunday Times apple.news/Ao-hzMt0VTNOdH…

@benln @jarretblaze MeWork

@jarretblaze who needs wework when you have wework at home

WFH set-up finally complete

Great ad in the arrivals hall @HeathrowAirport. Funny (even funnier because it’s right by the loo) and highlighting a challenge with competitors. #shrinkflation

I wish I read this yesterday so could have said it was the best thing I read all year with a deeper sense of gravity This is quite a remarkable piece of writing. @CaitlinPacific recounts the indelible fingerprint that her father and Seamus’ relationship had on how she views life

@AllisonMorris1 Or to put it in the language of The West Wing “taking out the trash”

The Friday afternoon news dump is in full swing isn’t it?

@AlexKane221b @Olliemac Can’t see a move against NL any time soon. That would be wild. Wonder who will stand for deputy though. Many able contenders…

@Olliemac He was certainly—and was for quite some time—a key strategist. There will be pressure on Naomi Long, that’s for sure, but is there someone bold enough/popular enough to make a move against her?

I think this is probably his exit from a political career.

They’re at risk of being accused of being an echo chamber. @TheNewEuropean app seems to be repeating itself.

@jayclouse have you written anything on how to pitch podcast hosts to be a guest on their show? I feel like I’ve seen something from you in the past but can’t find it… I’ve found your carousel on LI re: being a good guest, I’m looking for the “how to become a guest” advice.

@GarethBurns18 @AlexKane221b That would be uncharacteristically efficient of us.

@AlexKane221b How will Assembly and Council Elections be co-ordinated, seeing as they fall on the same year? Could they fall on the same day?

Barring some sort of meltdown (and I never rule anything out, of course) there won’t be an election in NI until 2027. Let’s use the time wisely and do wise things collectively.

Delighted to see @SorchaEastwood speaking for the first time in the chamber. The best rep for NI - a voice of change and courage in Westminster.

@AlexKane221b Defection of Jacob Rees-Mogg to Reform on election night.

What I look forward to most in general elections is the big surprise. The thing that comes in at full blast from left field. So, just for fun (and I’m talking about the entire UK and not just NI) what would you like that big surprise to be?

@DUPleader @AlexKane221b 😂😂😂😂

@AlexKane221b NI21 wins East Belfast.

@AlexKane221b 13 seats for Reform, but Farage isn’t one of them.
