@hintondm.bsky.social will give you one

Thank you for another thought provoking chat! Good evening all! #LTHEchat

That too, I guess the emphasis is don’t change it for the sake of it or for wanting to make a personal impact regardless. #LTHEchat

A6 Less of the upstairs/downstairs culture, some (not all!) academic staff don’t seem to want to treat PS staff as experts. This needs to change! #LTHEchat

But I can’t spell with a pen! 😒 #LTHEchat

A5 for senior leaders - Make up your mind, don’t change your mind unless things are heading for a car crush, stick to your plan you decided 5 mins ago… give us a chance to make it a reality. Give us more freedom to contribute to key institutional wide decisions. #LTHEchat

A4 Sometime I feel they don’t ever talk to each other and so end up giving multiple different but similar instructions. #LTHEchat

Some peers of mine did some CPD for us at BNU. I asked one of our PVCs to write a thank you email. He was more than happy to do as it’d take him 2 mins. Everyone who got it felt truly appreciated and that email will help them in their future applications to fellowship or CMALT etc #LTHEchat
January 28, 2026 at 8:42 PM
Depends if the person you thank in advance then do what they are suppose to? If not, I’d email back and demand to have my thank you back! #LTHEchat
January 28, 2026 at 8:38 PM
A4 We are all a bit overworked & sometimes, we don’t know it all, but that’s OK, we learn with our students. Also, we use doughnuts & Taylor Swift songs as currencies to exchange time in some parts of BNU. Oops, the secret is out! @katharinehubbard.bsky.social @profdamienpage.bsky.social 😬 #LTHEchat

A3 would it kill you to send a thank you email? Well depends who you ask! πŸ˜… #LTHEchat

A1 oh yeah, there is that… this all started with me admitting to you reading policies is one of my favourites pastime! 😬 #LTHEchat
January 28, 2026 at 8:28 PM
A2 I am a firm believer of paying it forward. We all have a part to play in supporting each other to flourish, of course with a supportive environment, it’s a lot easier. #LTHEchat
January 28, 2026 at 8:22 PM
A1 sometime the important aka the boring stuff end up being valuable opportunities for future interesting stuff. Like I used to find reading policies boring, but now I love reading them & have opportunities to review & write new policies, letting me to flourish in ways I never imagined. #LTHEchat
January 28, 2026 at 8:20 PM
A2 depends on what these are and whom for. Conditions for employers to allow staff to flourish, yes. Conditions for staff to flourish might backfire. I have experienced colleagues reacting badly to be given opportunities to flourish, citing it’s stressful but felt obliged to engage. #LTHEchat
January 28, 2026 at 8:15 PM
A1 Freedom to explore, express, to make mistakes and learn from them. Failure is not branded as an unacceptable affair. Also, be listened to irrespective of backgrounds and walks of life etc. I know these sound basic, but it’s easier said than done. #LTHEchat

Today I have finally grown up. I am not a youngster anymore… πŸŽ‰
January 11, 2026 at 10:25 PM
A6 My life is definitely quieter now we don’t work together anymore. Better or worse? We will let the community be the judge! πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰ #LTHEchat

Thank you for having us! @katharinehubbard.bsky.social & Kevin @drkck81.bsky.social are some of the coolest people I have ever worked with! Also excited to know #LTHEchat Jan 2026 will be a BNU month because there will be one more BNU guest host joining last week of Jan! Looking forward to it! ☺️

A6 Listen to the people, if a course has been constantly preforming poorly in particular areas, don’t automatically assume the staff is πŸ’©, have open and frank conversations with them to understand why and how we can work together to improve. #LTHEchat
January 7, 2026 at 9:03 PM
A6 this might get me into trouble as both my bosses are here, but I always get confused between TEF and REF… 😬#LTHEchat
