Wednesday will be promoting the work I do on the “Empowerment Panel” with my amazing #abcdretreat #infographics #nordicwaliking in GMC as well as… @METUPUKorg - awareness, drug access, clinical trials and data #DarkerPink #MetastaticMay #costofliving #severitymodifier #Enhertu #metastaticbreastcancer #secondarybreastcancer If I could show you the work I do in a run it would be the length of England… (and back) @GM_Cancer @TNLComFund #GMCC24
For our final keynote ‘Empowerment panel’ we will hear from a combination of people affected by cancer and healthcare staff that have used their own experience and knowledge of the cancer system to set up their own organisations in order to support other patients. #GMCC24

Starting team meetings with a check-in &/or having regular team check-ins is such an important part of leadership practice. Check-ins prime the behaviours that make collaboration possible. Here's a website with some great check-in resources: checkinsuccess.com/what/ & a framework for an end of week check-in, if you wanted to start tomorrow. Graphic: @heyamberrae via @TCI_ca

Building belonging is a critical task for leaders of change. How are we creating a sense of belonging in our teams so everyone is seen & valued for their own unique & authentic selves? Belonging counts more than diversity (the facts) or inclusion (a choice). When we feel we belong, we thrive, and so do the people around us: anitasands.medium.com/divers… By @DrAnitaSands.
