A6 - that a good digital leader isn't a digital or technical expert; they are someone committed to their own digital development, they value expertise in others, and they role model digital confidence (is that more than one thing?!) #LTHEchat #digitalleadership

A5 - Culture impacts everything! How people perceive digital, how much they value digital, attitudes to skill development, appetite for risk and innovation, and how expectations are woven through an organisation. #LTHEchat

A4 - I've really got a lot out of the work I have done recently collaborating with @jisc.bsky.social and other partners in their Digital Transformation Framework and Beyond Blended pilot projects. Being able to connect with likeminded colleagues across the sector has been really valuable. #LTHEchat

A3 - digital landscape is complex and fast moving. I want to be thoughtful about access to tools & spaces and recognise that the digital access is not always equitable, what can I do to help smooth that lumpiness? However, I also see how digital environments can help many find their voices #LTHEchat

that resonates with me too Niall! #LTHEchat

I think 'digital' can mean a lot of different things to people. For example, people often conflate 'online learning' with digital, and yet it means so much more than that. Hence explaining digital never seems to go away! #LTHEchat

A2 - I've had formal roles in 'digital leadership' but I also recognise that I have informal ones too. From sharing and showing other people practical ways to develop their digital skills to influencing for digital change in all kinds of spaces. #LTHEchat #digitalleadership

A1 - for me there are lots of similarities between 'digital leadership' and other types or contexts of leadership. It's thoughtful, adaptive, and people-focused #LTHEchat #digitalleadership

Fargate has just had its refurbishment completed and there are lots of new places to eat (Cambridge Street Collective is a fab new food court near where John Lewis was), so I'm sure you will enjoy a visit!

Hi Beth, I'm not sure where you are but Sheffield has some a couple of great local makers shops that are also online: Birds Yard (www.birdsyard.co.uk) Sheffield Makers (sheffieldmakershuntersbar.com) They may have what you are looking for, and I always find something I can't resist buying 🤩
