It is good to know that Musk can push an Irish far right candidate hard on his pet social media network, and a whole country can just say absolutely not. Come on Brits, learn something.

What if something as simple as #SchoolMeals were treated as an opportunity to catalyse green and inclusive economic growth?

Zuckerberg says Meta will build data center the size of Manhattan in latest AI push CEO says company plans to spend hundreds of billions on developing artificial intelligence products

This is unbelievable (not in a good way). What part of a Mission-based approach would suggest disempowering officials and preventing them engaging with outside views?

CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open.
DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open.

Defibrillators to be provided to Channel island fishers A UK charity says free defibrillators and first aid kits are being provided to island fishers.

So this is the new great idea🤔

I’m pretty sure if Sarah had seen a GP she wouldn’t have needed to have a CT scan, no need to speak to the ENT registrar & yes it could be managed in the community

Why does NHS England always underestimate the skills of GPs?

LLLLLDLWDLLL City

Manchester City been renamed after a town in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.

Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.

"But there's something that’s much more difficult to confront than the inspiration and dignity of Gisèle Pelicot. 51 men. 51 men who are #notallmen… but who are, also, quite a lot of men. 51 of them, in fact."

Exceptional opening monologue by @sophyridge.bsky.social tonight. ~AA

Such pleasure to work with Amnesty for #InternationalMigrantsDay to share this simple, but too often silenced message:

How we treat people matters.
It always will.

Please share :)👇

Do have a listen, spread the message far and wide, and lets encourage everyone to practice Truly Human Leadership.

"Others wish things were different. Listen to them. Everybody matters. Show them.”

I hope I was able to do this interview justice, as it was an honour to spend an hour soaking in such wisdom. 🙏

"It is about living with an abundance mindset: an abundance of patience, love, hope and opportunity.”

“Everyone wants to contribute. Trust them. Leaders are everywhere. Find them. Some people are on a mission. Celebrate them..."

Anyone who has seen me present will know I tend to use quotes from Bob's book, and this one always stands out to me:

“In the end, it is about truly caring for every precious human being whose life we touch. It is about including everybody, not just the fortunate few or exceptionally talented."

a people-centric approach where Barry-Wehmiller team members feel valued, cared for, and an integral part of the company’s purpose.

His book, Everybody Matters, which chronicles his journey and leadership philosophy, is a Wall Street Journal bestseller.
