Getting some last minute help reviewing my notes before today’s 2.20pm @CogX_Festival chat with @claireoatway @neon_juno. CogX asks us: “how do we get the next 10 years right?” Our fireside chat: how do we spark conversations to heal our systems of care?

@claireoatway, hopefully you’ll be a little less judgey than these cats... they don’t seem entirely impressed. 🤣🤣

Sorry @claireoatway, Exponential Leadership! Got carried away in all my excitement. ☺️

Serious question: why do you follow the football team that you do? Is it inherited? Place based? Gut feel? How do you KNOW? I’ve always followed other people’s teams - but it feels time to commit to my very own team.

Is my football team the one I’ve seen the most games of? My ex’s (Arsenal)? Or my mate’s team? (Birmingham? Newcastle? Stoke City?)

Or do I watch every game for a month and decide my football team is the one that has the best shirt design? The one that makes me cry? Has the best team dynamics? This is so hard! How do you know?

Feeling all the emotions today! First time on tube since 12 March, on way to post-covid physio*. Felt nervous, but (oddly!) comforted by TFL sights + sounds. Tube travel has enabled so many great experiences + opportunities for me over 11 years. Lots of fab memories.

* The covid story is a longer one, for another day. In short: 3 months very ill, often desperately scared, but doing OK now. Back working and sense making of all that's happened. Which starts with being grateful for things like TFL seat covers… 🤣

Grateful for the positive energy from our #HRCHEngagementChampions at this afternoon's training session. We're working on our approaches to understanding what matters to people giving and receiving care in the community @lamb_donna @sparkthediff @HRCH_NHS – at Richmond, London

In Hackney Downs today, starting a new project: reenergising #PPGs (Patient Participation Groups) in local GP practices. How can PPGs help create real, positive change in local communities? Glad rain held off for lunchtime walk & got to see some stunning community art projects!

This has been, and continues to be, my most challenging learning - how to be aware of my negative thinking and how to notice when I’m “doing alright”. Would love to hear what works for other people.

Thank YOU @PointonChris for continuing to share the #hellomynameis story with us - and to @BriBrdan and @MarieFortune for your compassion and humour in bringing the play’s words to life. Grateful to have seen the play and to hear the Q&A afterwards.

Thank you @KingfisherCoach for holding a great space for me to explore me as a “work in progress”! kingfishercoaching.com/sam-m… And for listeners - let me know if you fancy joining the Unicorns Who Vomit Rainbows Club. #MightActuallyDoIt #🌈🦄
Ian asked me, “What goes on in your head, what’s it like to be Sam?” I realise I literally described my mind as a giant, colourful, ever moving whiteboard! 🤣 My key reflection after this interview: you’re probably not as weird, or alone as you think you are. 💗

Thank you for your generous words @ClareFreeman_ last night. So thrilled to hear @abtdeathpodcast on the radio! This work wouldn’t exist without the support and trust from so many brilliant and brave people. Here’s to starting conversations that matter, before it’s too late.

It’s been AGES since Spark has run an event. And I’m excited to hosting a Bring Your Project/Problem meet up on 21 June. Yes, it’s on a Friday night. We reckon (1) you’ll want the weekend to keep working on your project idea(s) (2) we’ll go for drinks + food after. Come along!
