Hello!
Took a social media break because I needed it. Who should I be following? Who is here from Twitter, and where do I find them?

So many questions...

Agree. Have done work on this with different teams and have gone back to the 5 Dysfunctions many times over the years. It has been particularly helpful in guiding my thinking ‘ planning, in several of my leadership roles. I’ve always liked the nuance & consideration toward vulnerability based trust

Great way to build connections and shared experiences.
In the canteen, we display a rolling PPT: things that have happened in school, club timetables, news, weather etc. Great for culture! We also show things to prompt convos - dingbats, jokes, facts... I'm sharing the first 50 days here in case they are of use to anyone else! tinyurl.com/canteenICS

I like the way you can set up lists and then see the feed of the people that are on those lists. Sure it's creating your own echo chamber, but it's also a great way to hang out with people you like!

Pen of the day.

Wenge is a dense, exotic hardwood native to Central Africa, known for its deep, rich brown colour with subtle black streaks. Its fine, straight grain and natural lustre give it a sophisticated and elegant appearance.

Honey on the left from spring flowers, the one on the right from summer flowers. They taste different but are both delicious.
