Stunning as individual pieces, sensational as a trio. Visitors catching an early glimpse of these artworks by @anniebelcourt were awestruck how Annie’s marks conveyed the movement of the waves, ‘I feel I can hear them’. Machlud I, II & III online here: https://t.co/s6MpqHj3Nn

If you want to know how much a hospital values women, look at the condition and appearance of its labor and delivery suite and then compare it to the orthopedic wing. You’ll know immediately.

We want to build a strong, positive organisational culture, based on values. Leaders often set out abstract absolute positives as organisational values (integrity, respect, trust etc) but these don't drive the day-to-day decision-making (& therefore the behaviour) of the people

My job over the last 40 years has been writing strategies. Depressingly none of them have worked. Not a single one 😐 What has worked are the compelling stories about a place, a partnership & the people. We can waste so much time on pointless documents that people can’t remember.
Strategies are completely pointless. They take up all our time & energy preparing them, presenting them to boards & management but they just don’t make a difference. It’s STORIES that really make a difference. Develop a compelling story of place, of community & of relationships.
