Four years ago I wrote my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb. Both when I wrote it and performed it, I did so while continuously reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King’s legacy. I was (and am) blown away by how my words reverberated around the world; if anything, it proved to me that we honor King’s dream, by daring to dream big, and by, most importantly, daring to dream together. Only then will the loving fantasies of our better nature transform into reality. The work and fight for the dream persists, and what’s more, it is not just a fight, but fate—that perhaps we are as destined for this time as it is destined for us. What a worthwhile, powerful calling only we can answer. Here with you in the hill and the climb, and whatever light lies beyond, whatever light lies within. -Amanda

Nurses are facing becoming homeless as an NHS trust moves to evict staff from its hospital accommodation. Dozens of #NHS staff will lose their homes after the trust decided it was 'unaffordable' to make fire safety updates to three blocks of flats.  rcni.com/nursing-standard/ne…

“You can’t be clapped one minute, and declared disposable the next.” This week, RCN member Patricia Temple told the COVID-19 Inquiry how nursing staff with long COVID have been abandoned. We're calling on the UK government to classify long COVID as an occupational disease. Find out more about Module 3 of the COVID-19 Inquiry, and our involvement in the process ➡️ bit.ly/4ej0g6z

The prospect of huge debt and lack of financial support is putting off the nurses of the future. We need action from the govt, including: ✅ forgiveness for nursing tuition fee loans ✅ financial support for nursing students to help with living costs 🔗 bit.ly/3AfjDiU

I really enjoyed the escape room with the medical doctors yesterday @UCLanBurnley. I'm still thinking about it this morning. I find it interesting what I learn about myself and, most importantly, communicating effectively. So much fun, @UCLan – at Burnley, England

The language we use as leaders shapes workplace culture. It plays a critical role in psychological safety. Our words (& the way we communicate) can encourage the experimentation & risk-taking we want our teams to demonstrate for innovation & improvement. It can also stifle initiative. @tom_geraghty sets out "seven deadly sins of psychological safety" - the most common/damaging things leaders say that crush psychological safety in the workplace: 1) “That’s a terrible idea.” 2) “You should know that by now.” 3) “Whose fault is this?” 4)“Everyone is replaceable.” 5)“Don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions.” 6)“Just get it done.” 7) “Not now, I’m too busy.” psychsafety.co.uk/the-seven-…. @tnvora has translated them into a brilliant graphic: qaspire.com/7-deadly-sins-of….

YouGov predicting the biggest Conservative wipeout in their history? It's the end of the Tories (and I feel fine).
