Delivering a session on the MSU to care home staff on safer mobility - what a great idea to bring the “meeting room” to the car park. Thank you for the great conversations this morning. @scottishcare @lynnflannigan1

New research shows that fatigue from Teams, Zoom and other virtual meetings is a demonstrable neurological phenomenon. It differs from the fatigue experienced in face-to-face settings (brain images show that). Certain platform features, such as seeing our own faces, makes the fatigue worse.
Scientifically-based strategies to address "Teams fatigue":
1) Mix in some audio-only meetings (eg, phone calls/conference calls): this reduces the cognitive load and means people can move about during the meeting
2) Try to stick with one platform: switching between Teams, Zoom, Google Meet etc, makes the fatigue worse
3) Practice "IT mindfulness": actively explore & adapt the technology to better suit your needs
4) Switch off the "self-view" function (so others can see your face on screen but you cant): in virtual settings, maintaining a continuous self-view can unintentionally affect both individual performance & group dynamics

From today, new requirements are in effect for international applicants to prove their English language proficiency.
Key changes:
🎓 List of 'qualifying countries' introduced
✍️ Self-declaration no longer accepted
💼 OET joins our list of test providers
ALT Graphic with a blue and purple background and the HCPC logo in the top right corner. The words over the background read: From 29 January 2025, You will no longer be able to self-declare English as your first language, you can demonstrate you meet the standards if you gained your primary qualification in a 'qualifying country', and all other international applicants will have to complete an approved test.'
Language is so important as it dictates the lens we choose to see a situation - how we see a situation will either be enabling or disabling. Those people who depend on our support deserve to be enabled, it’s better to be a participant than a recipient 💕

"Humanocracy: creating organisations as amazing as the people inside them" is a book that's had big impact on my change practice. A new updated version is due out in August 2025. In the meantime, here's a fantastic new sketchnote on a key principle from "Humanocracy": impact multipliers for large scale change. What can we do to truly create impact & influence change in complex environments?

Work smarter not harder - are you considering leverage points when creating conditions for change?
We would get better outcomes in our action planning for change if we thought more about "leverage points". Leverage points are the powerful places in a system where small changes can lead to significant impact. They're not always obvious, which is why, when we are identifying potential change interventions, we need to think about the connections, relationships & behaviours in the system, not just the technical processes. Leverage points offer a way to create substantial change by focusing on areas where even minimal effort can lead to impactful results: medium.com/weareopencoop/an-…. Via @WeAreOpenCoop.

Team "scaling fallacy": The mistaken belief that by expanding the size of a team we will get more work done, more speedily. Leaders are often too optimistic about the impact on project costs & outcomes because we overestimate the value of adding team members while underestimating coordination costs as team size gets larger.
