If you’re on the Audibles, please do consider listening to my books on there. I can come on a run with you, help with the ironing, or do that hike. #Botheredness and #Oops read by me.

Emotional this morning about the loss of Prescott. He hugely inspired my dad, who became a Labour councillor at the age of 50, after years as a bus driver. He gave permission to be in politics, while being your imperfect self, whatever your accent or background.

Thanks so much. Really glad you are thinking about ‘unconditional positive regard’ 🙏🏻
We were lucky enough to have @davewhitaker.bsky.social deliver our inset. The Kindness Principles just make sense. Unconditional positive regard, the words I've been searching for to frame our culture around managing behaviour. Today ripples of change, tomorrow waves. Every educator needs this!
