Yes, be explicit about why what someone did or said was helpful or useful or appropriate so they and others do more of it #ukgovchat

Verbalise them in meetings... Annual reviews... #ukgovchat

Have you discussed The Facilitator? Doesn't necessarily want a profile for themselves but do their best to help the meeting run, for all on the board to speak, including those who might otherwise not be heard, but also keeps their focus on what has to be discussed #ukgovchat

A probing question, but in a supportive manner, quite a skill #ukgovchat

Recognise and praise their skills and contributions. Encourage them and then learn from them. #ukgovchat

Watching and then having a conversation with them outside of the meeting about what they asked and why is even more interesting! #ukgovchat

They are also comfortable with silence... #ukgovchat

.... and not being afraid to challenge. This governor asked a really great question of the board - challenging our own practice and it really made me (us) think. #ukgovchat

That's a good point. Sometimes a great question comes from someone who's not got bogged down in the history or the personalities and can zoom out and see what the governance issues are #ukgovchat

I must admit it does flag a bit now as the years have gone by but .... if I just go and spend time in school with the children I am recharged! #ukgovchat

Have the rest of you learnt from them? Has it improved your communication skills away from the Board? #ukgovchat

The superpower of the governor who always asks a really great question - so important and I love it when it makes us all think. #ukgovchat

Energy is my superpower - boundless energy to make the lives of our children better #ukgovchat

Wait, but how do they slow down time? I missed that bit in the Handbook #ukgovchat

What about 'actiongovernor' - so the superpower of happily volunteering to take on tasks and importantly actually do them !! #ukgovchat

Getting things done as a superpower. We don't ask for much #ukgovchat

Yes it's all about relationships isn't it so listening, empathy and understanding are important in building trust. #ukgovchat
Rachel Muers retweeted
Being able to know what others are thinking! 🤣 .... but more seriously the superpower of being a really good listener. Something I often remind myself I need to practice #ukgovchat
