I have read over 100 books on writing. Here are 3 that have shaped my thinking: 1. Writing that Works - Kenneth Roman and Joel Raphaelson 2. Made to Stick - Chip and Dan Heath 3. The Art and Business of Online Writing - Nicolas Cole

@RuthSturkey Right?! Plus it’s so much easier to consume than create!

"Do I need to spend more time searching for better information or do I need to spend more time acting on the information I already have? Is the bottleneck strategy or execution?" I totally needed to read this today. – @JamesClear

@Marcusfarnfield @MavenAdviser Thank you so much, appreciate your kind words.

@MavenAdviser This was truly superb. Real standout session of the day for me. Thanks so much @melissakidd

Want to improve your impact during virtual meetings?  I'll be running a 'Personal impact and power" session for members of the @CIIGroup Insurance institute of Newcastle on 28th Oct ow.ly/yR5850BZAjc

This thought-provoking session with @melissakidd will introduce the idea that there are other ways to motivate yourself. Meaning you can enjoy work more and perform at an even higher level whilst reducing anxiety, stress and the risk of burnout. Part 1 > ow.ly/blIL50BureV

I recently ran a couple of writing skills webinars @pfsconf for #paraplanners. Here are my 6 tips for #effectivecommunication: ow.ly/pfHn50Btjj6

@Suzy_Madigan Wow, stay safe Suzy.

Unclear what's happening in #Beirut right now. This is the view from our balcony. Seems to be a fire at the port but location uncertain. Unsettling for #Lebanon following #BeirutExplosion

@nicklincoln Thank you very much, appreciate your comment.

Enjoyed this @melissakidd - given that communication is essential to our "value-add" this should be mandatory viewing! brighttalk.com/webcast/17182/…

Turns out, having taken a break from twitter for a while, I rather missed your updates, conversations and jokes. Digital detoxes are definitely good. For a bit.

@AntsBK @RGS_IBG Oh no! Make sure you pack your Brave Pants.

A screenshot of today's news from Nagaland: floods, landslides and the biggest deployment of Indian troops in thirty years in advance of Thursday's peace talks. Perfect time to be going then. #Nagaland @RGS_IBG #inthefield

@DVLAgovuk Apologies, I have lost my reminder letter with my 16 digit code - how do I go about paying to tax my vehicle?

@WebEx how come animations work w/ powerpoint 2010 but not powerpoint 2013 in a webinar? Is it a bug in the system that you're looking at?

Was a real pleasure to speak at the @BIBAbroker conference yesterday on the subject of "personalities and persuasion" Thank you #BIBA2017
