A key ability of a change agent at work is to be able to rock the boat and stay in it.

I find myself sitting & reflecting on my doodle about rest. Unpicking where I need to slow down, to let go, to protect time, to pace myself & to ask for help
Today, a beautiful listening space by @charlie_psych @bridgetlees1 has inspired change. Recommend their spaces to you all

We can implement all the performance improvement initiatives or new quality systems in the world. But if leaders don't light the way to change through their own everyday behaviours & practices, it isn't going to stick. This new blog sets out powerful research evidence from the evaluation of the NHS/ @VM_Institute partnership: bit.ly/3ncbfJX Great job @DrNicolaBurgess @WarwickBSchool #LeadingQI #QITwitter
