Wow! Explains A LOT! Stopped me in my tracks. Thanks Holly Morris & Alex Partridge for sheding light on something thats been niggling me for years! For as long as I can remember I've questioned how long things last (degrees, course, etc). ⏳️ Or once the dopamine rush of a new creative idea has worn off, how long will it be before I hit the crash? 💥 What happens if this idea takes off, I go full throttle, create a whirlwind and then lose the drive & let people down? 😵💫 When I was barely conscious of this, I would seek out people who could enable me to get the idea across the line, or who could deliver on a idea (& therefore less flakey than me). Ive come to realise theres a couple of issues with this; 1) my dreams & goals are my dreams & goals. Yes, leverage other people's skills to realise your dreams BUT its a fine line between blending skills and expecting others to do it for you. And, I suspect I used the excuse to seek out 'help' as a deliberate attempt to avoid the uncomfortableness of having to do it myself. Subconsciously sabotaging the idea to stay 'safe'. 2) The idea that I can't follow through or that I have an untrainable skill gap is misguided self awareness. Someone, somewhere, at some point in time, may have said something which I chose to internalise as 'I cant'. I looked for evidence to back this up by replaying unhelpful scenarios & tagged those memories with the label of failure, none finisher, needs help etc etc It's a fine line between knowing your abilities so you can find complimenting skills and letting those lacking skills shame you.... As part of my mindfulness practice I remind myself everyday of my gifts of creativity and my thirst for inquiry. I'm a creator and my medium for delivery is self expression. Managing ADHD shame & over thinking is a life long practice. My brain feels like a sandstorm of ideas. I just can't follow up on all of them. But, whats the rush....?? Sure, i risk some ideas falling by the wayside but, my purpose is to keep creating and keep expressing. And, what was meant to be will follow with perfect timing. ♾️😍

Internal Comms can help you to be a better leader and move faster.

Celebrating a Century of Life: A Legacy of Connection Reaching 100 years is an incredible milestone in itself. But reaching 100 years surrounded by those whose lives you've touched? That's the true measure of a life well-lived. #LifeGoals Western society often sends the message that aging diminishes our value, pushing our eldest members to the margins. In doing so, we overlook the vast history, wisdom, and perspective our elders carry. By setting aside the eldest among us, we lose a vision of the life we all hope to create. This is a powerful reminder of why #RepresentationMatters—because, as the saying goes, "You can’t be what you can’t see." Imagine if we each had frequent interactions with centenarians. Perhaps the daily pressures of modern life would feel a bit lighter, and we’d focus more on the life we want MOST rather than the life we want NOW. Ask yourself: “Will this matter when I’m 100?” As a new mom, this question feels especially poignant. It keeps the main thing ... the MAIN THING. It challenges me to build a life that endures through the decades—a life that values deep, genuine connections. I hope to leave a legacy that truly matters. #Legacy #Centenarians #AgingWithPurpose #LifelongConnections #Inspiration #MeaningfulLife #Family #Wisdom #MomsJourney #GrowthMindset

I like Joanna’s posts. If you’re in internal communications or want to learn more (no, it is NOT the same as external comms) I encourage you to follow her. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard “can you just….” It’s not that simple and the uniformed ask is just that - uniformed and not thinking of desired outcomes. Leaders, next time you ask “can you just….?” pause for a minute and think of the outcome you need. Strategic planning is key. 😊

I think the list could go on forever. I just don’t think it should…. without budget, headcount, respect. It's time to pivot from endless questioning to meaningful action. Adequate resources aren't just nice-to-haves. They're a must for sustaining efficiency and happiness. Leaders: It’s time to prioritize and properly equip this function. Communicators it’s time to show our value in terms leadership can relate to. #RightTech #RealConnection

Constant reminder about the importance of family, love, and relationships overall. Accomplishments, awards, and possessions are left behind. Live eternally through the positive impact we have on others. #FamilyFirst #LoveAboveAll #RelationshipsMatter #LegacyOfLove #ImpactOverPossessions #CherishConnections #LiveWithPurpose #PositiveLegacy #EternalImpact #LoveAndKindness

Remembering their courage, honor and bravery, today and every day. Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸 #CallCriteria #CallCenter #ContactCenter #CallCenterSolutions #ContactCenterSolutions #QualityAssurance #CallCenterLife #CallCenterProblems #CallCenterBoss

It's Memorial Day! Do you know why we celebrate today? If not, here’s a quick lesson:

It's Memorial Day! Do you know why we celebrate today? If not, here’s a quick lesson:

The USA Olympic basketball teams demonstrate what the make up of a high functioning work team looks like. A group of individual contributors who are really good at what they do, without too much overlap. A selflessness to help elevate each other, but ready to execute when called upon. A leader that can take the blame for the team, while finding ways to help the team execute more efficiently. Time to develop as a team and a trust in the process to get there.
