This is shocking. I am hearing about this more and more. Hotels (including Travelodge UK) MUST do more to protect customers. It cannot be ok to just accidentally give out room keys to the wrong people. And appalling customer service to just fob someone off like this #NOTokay

Just had a full blown row with my Alexa as to why she wouldn't play my favourite playlist without shuffling. I use this playlist to focus and GET ON IT. After some desperate googling I discover that it's not just me, but this is an actual 'upgrade'. Not happy @Amazon!

Improvement can be exponential - v.slow at first, but then increasing. With consistent + frequent practice, all of a sudden the progress can be HUGE. This phenomenon can be frustrating for a new learner, but the coach must let them experience it themselves. #katamicrolearning

I'm very lucky to be coaching two teams at University of Michigan - daily coaching cycles over Zoom using Mural storyboards. Each team has a short process which they're working to improve, and by doing so, they're learning how to think and act in a more scientific way. #ToyotaKata

Hi Canva I LOVE using Canva to make documents - particularly workbooks and support materials for training. Any chance you might soon include the functionality for automatic page numbering? 🤞

Today I am sharing the story of my recent experiences of 'casual' sexism. I debated whether or not to write this. Whether I should stay quiet and not rock the boat. But I decided that this is too important not to share. linkedin.com/pulse/story-ca… #sexism #leanthinking

How do you spot a #KataGeek out in the wild? When they bring a Desired Operating Pattern, in the form of a block diagram, to their pottery class. Safe to say, I found plenty of obstacles 🤣 #ScientificThinking

Imperial Venues I booked 4 nights in Beit Hall in September. I could not stay more than 1 night as there was no hot water and the room was filthy. I was assured I'd get a refund, but now I am not getting any response to my repeated emails. Please help?
