Not just me missing some human contact then. thetimes.co.uk/article/lets-a…

⁦The Orvis Company⁩ am I missing something.

As I walked to the office, a year ago, I checked my emails. There was one marked urgent - something about an ‘epidemic’. We all know the rest of the story but not the ending. Here are some of my reflections on the last 12 months... nafisashafiq.com/2021/01/22/com…

I interviewed 5 billionaires this week I asked them to share their lessons learned on startups, life and entrepreneurship: Here's what they told me:

Ever sit on webinars thinking why did you sign up? Bravo Peter Mallozzi of Staffbase for making this IABC one worth it. I paraphrase: In an era where people create their own echo chamber, work is one of the last places where diverse people come together behind a common purpose..

... seems to me as communicators that is such an opportunity and also a responsibility. An opportunity to create a forum for debate and collaboration, and a responsibility to communicate with integrity and creativity and add value. Thanks IABC and Staffbase for the thought.

It's #WorldBookDay . Here are 3 must-read #internalcomms books. 1. Take Pride: How to Build Organisational Success Through People by Sheila Parry 2. Exploring Internal Communication by Dr Kevin Ruck 3. The Insiders’ Guide to Employee Communications by Poppulo

I was so busy reading my birthday bookshelf I missed this lovely tweet from Poppulo. What an honour.

Stick it on repeat 🔥😍 Tadhg Furlong has got moves. #GuinnessSixNations #SCOvIRL

Get ready to fritter away your entire morning on this puzzle! I’ve done 3 since 8.30am and now have to get to work. How many can you do on your coffee breaks today? #TuringChallenge #brainteasers gchq.gov.uk/information/tu…

Oh this is good 👍

I like this simple approach to employee experience presented by ⁦Dan Holme⁩ at #IABCConverge21. Cuts through a lot of current themes and puts employees at the centre.

Tired of onscreen working? I just learned the 20/20/20 rule from Michael Nord, SCMP, MBA at #IABCConverge21. Every 20 mins take your eyes off the screen, look at something 20 metres away for at least 20 seconds. Does that count as 3 learnings? 🤦‍♀️ #ConvergeTable

This is an excellent and thoughtful column on WFH

Great lessons from former Starbucks CEO Jim Donald on how to lead: be curious/tell great stories/pay attention to your employees/give people the power to take risks and freedom to fail/be aligned in your messages but be bilingual in terms of hearts and minds. #Cohesion2021

More from Jim Donald #Cohesion2022 “be a freshman everyday - remember your attitudes when you were nervous, curious, had respect for others and had to ask for directions. Take those into every single job you ever have and you have the foundation for a great career.” Worked 4 me.

A moment of kindness and chocolate from my friends Luminous. Remember, remember 13th November #WorldKindnessDay2021 Thank you to kind people everywhere.
