100% this! At our Transformation Tuesday forum @WyeValleyNHS I always start to host a few minutes early for exactly this reason. The chatter as a host is so important to set the scene, settle the participants and role model the culture of the session.
The little "chit chats" we have at the start of a meeting or Teams call (where we talk about our weekends, the weather, our pets or the traffic) are really important. Research shows that they actually work as a neural 'warm-up' for a deeper connection. So the next time we get irritated by the small talk at the start of a meeting & push to start discussion on the topic at hand, we might remember that: - small talk isn’t filler; it’s an entry point to foster group psychological safety. - rapport isn’t a ‘nice to have’; it enables the trust needed for meaningful dialogue. - alignment doesn’t begin with tasks; it begins with shared attention & mutual recognition. Those first few minutes of “non-essential” chatter are doing critical work. They're building safety, alignment & a shared language that's the foundation for us to work more effectively together: linkedin.com/posts/nick-wrig…. By Nick Wright.

Prince William appeared on BBC Countryfile this evening where he spoke about mental health care for young famers. The event, which took place on 26 March, coincided with Prince William becoming a patron of the Herefordshire-based charity We Are Farming Minds. It highlights his commitment to supporting young farmers and his continued passion for promoting good mental health across the farming community.

I often talk at work (@ home with my daughters) about normalising nerves. It’s normal to feel nervous about something that either you haven’t done before and/or you really care about. Don’t let that stop you, because if you care so much, the end result could/will be amazing.
Feeling nervous doesn't mean you're unprepared. It means you care about something beyond your control. Anxiety is a caricature artist. It magnifies flaws and minimizes strengths. Gaining confidence is not about denying what could go wrong. It’s about recognizing what might go right.
