This gentleman's message speaks volumes. Absorbing, impactful and a clear call to action. Worth watching for humanity, let alone powerful communication. lnkd.in/eQR8xX7C

Work & car parking - 2 things always bound to create tension. Until yesterday evening. My car park space last night was one to behold - and I don't often admire my car park space. But at Windsor Castle, attending the Society of Leadership Fellows dinn…lnkd.in/eM5GZNAT

Get it? Does the message get across? Or would a paragraph of text, with some bullets have worked better? Consider carefully what you choose next time, to get your message across. Especially if you're trying to change something. lnkd.in/ecFRHRcv lnkd.in/e4ak2Ai8

Today's demonstration (by an 11 year old) of a laser-like focus on stakeholder needs, to deliver the optimum outcome. step 1. the need was proactively anticipated. - "...after several hours at her desk, she needs cooling down to help her finish on time"…lnkd.in/eHPnKfXz

Sometimes the wait is most definitely worth it - even all 10 hours of it & queueing overnight. With a feeling of tremendous awe, wrapped in soft splendour, I walked through Westminster Hall just now to see the Queen lying in State. We had joked earlier…lnkd.in/eJY66qiG

What does Wisdom taste like? Chicken, apparently. Or more precisely, that was the food we all enjoyed at the recent Society of Leadership Fellows event where we explored wisdom. I hadn’t gone to the event with a plan to collect any of Solomon’s pearls,…lnkd.in/e9YFd7Uv

Sometimes you just need to tell people - right? "This is how it needs to be." Correct or incorrect? Try asking a few politicians this week. In my experience, when you know you have the luxury of your intended audience either (1) already being in comp…lnkd.in/eZjuNkX5

Would you have bought 1 or 3 watermelons? Sometimes persuasion is achieved through taking a seemingly unorthodox approach. The outcome is sometimes not so obvious on purpose. Never just stick to the ordinary when you seek to persuade. #iandptoptips…lnkd.in/enaYbEii

"Where will you be in 132 years?" A stunning eye-opening start to Shelley's communication. Gets the attention. Not for attention's sake, but in a way that shines a direct, and relatable spotlight, on the incredulous state of affairs regarding the gender…lnkd.in/esNWQ2C4

"Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!" heard in the car on the radio this morning. So much more inviting than 'have a good day'. Choice of words matter, even in the smallest of sentences. If you want to create a specific impact, that is. And, of course…lnkd.in/emdqe5J8

It's not about 4 candles, or even fork handles. But rather 46,000 candles. That's the number, roughly, of votive candles stacked up at St George's Chapel, Windsor last week. A fact I came to know after counting the boxes during a walk around the chapel…lnkd.in/eWUR8534

Port and cheese tasting on the 1829 train to Waterloo. I kid you not. The group doing the tasting awarded marks for taste as well as presentation, and options for pairing the cheese with other wines. Not something you see everyday. Unfortunately, I was…lnkd.in/eVPAn5eU

"It's the way I tell 'em". All the best entertainers have figured that out. As have the Scottish road gritters. I wouldn't have thought I'd be interested enough to look Traffic Scotland and their map showing where the Scottish gritters are operating tod…lnkd.in/eJUVbYyJ

Imagine what President Zelenskiy’s 'business case' was like for those tanks. Highly persuasive content.   Clearly, I’m not party to any of those details. But having analysed his communication style, I’m confident that the positioning of his content for th…lnkd.in/eAPmsz89

Still think Fellows are mainly male, pale and stale? Not this week. It was truly terrific meeting up again with my 'old' colleague Jila Bahri-Esfahani at St George's in Windsor Castle this week. I'm delighted to say that Jila has recently become a Fell…lnkd.in/edrFzH5e

A simple list from 2,000 years ago on how to be happy. Sometimes the simplest things have the biggest impact (especially number 6 for me). Which element stands out for you most? - How to be Happy according to the Stoics: 1. Control what you can 2. D…lnkd.in/etrGGkD5

Sometimes you get lucky. 😃 Sometimes you get to work with people who are both extremely warm and welcoming, as well as incredible scientific experts. And then you have to say goodbye as you move down a new road. And I've been that lucky recently.…lnkd.in/eXaFfkkX
