“If you want to achieve anything in this world, you have to get used to the idea that not everyone will like you.” Simon Sinek

You will be kind and still be misunderstood. You will be thoughtful and still not be liked.

You’re allowed to be yourself.

The sunshine brings such a brightness to my mornings, and starts the week off on a high. It’s the first week of our new programme at the South East Region Academy, looking forward to engaging with colleagues on how to improve and develop what we do #nhs #onf #staffdevelopment

Had a great visit today to a hospital to do some activities with their finance team. I won’t say team building because they are a well established group already. It was more a chance to reconnect in our now so virtual world and allow for messages to be shared consistently to all #nhs #lovemyjob

Ask for the help you want and need.

Spent the day with my daughter today in half term just the two of us, and had the best time! Favourite moment? Playing Pooh sticks on the river. It’s always the simple things ❤️ #mumlife #annualleave #makingmemories

What a week! It’s been a long time since I’ve met so many new people and had such inspiring conversations, my brain is buzzing with ideas

Any #nhsfinance colleagues joined me over here yet? Do connect!

To be kind is to believe in others when they forget to believe in themselves. Every act of kindness plants a seed of courage for someone else.

Ending week 3 of my new role as Director of this fantastic Academy looking ahead to what we can achieve in the coming year. I was worried returning from maternity leave would be challenging professionally, but instead I’m full on enthusiasm, energy and ideas #nhs #onf #newyearnewme

Ending a grey January by joining Bluesky feels appropriate!

So who is out there from the NHS Finance community? #nhs #finance #onenhsfinance
