Meet Kate, or should I say Linda the bad manager? This TikTok account is great at highlighting poor leadership practice to help people become great leaders.

@Carolmkidd2 @Caraway18 @brfcharity Thank you so much

@GaryHop have completed your survey on discipleship & cholaincy: other Anna Chaplains might be interested in doing so too @Caraway18 @brfcharity

We're interested in how chaplains’ understandings of discipleship relate to their chaplaincy role and work, and what we might learn about discipleship in a range of contexts. So we're asking chaplains to respond to this survey: forms.office.com/e/m3YrAuMDR9
