@thedancingflea.bsky.social @pialidg.bsky.social @resident-music.com I think it only right that I should say that 2025 is the year that I fill in the remaining gaps in my collection of records by The Mekons.

We’ve had a great start to the year with the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities in Yorks & Humber, running the final workshop in our #SystemsLeadership programme. Thanks to Chris Sharp & the participants! Contact [email protected] to learn about April’s cohort.

I made myself listen to all of this just to ensure I had the context (they were closing on the theme of hope). Is it so hard to think about, let alone express sympathy for the victims? Seemingly so among the self-regarding and entitled. open.spotify.com/episode/3zxt...

Suffering for your art.

This is a spoof account, right?

Yes. But. It’s secondary to culture, funding, governance, the weight of history and more.

Oh, when in Brum we all love a red right hand. Apposite.

🚀 It’s been a busy week at #LGAConf24! @mkmrogers.bsky.social attended on behalf of the Leadership Centre, hearing insights from sector leaders. A strong focus emerged: building relationships & making leadership a "team sport" is more crucial than ever in these challenging times.

Wes Streeting pledged to "fix the front door to the NHS" by boosting primary care. Our work in #Devon highlights key insights which may support this shift. Read @debbiesorkin.bsky.social, John Wilderspin & Tim Whitworth's take on transforming primary care: www.leadershipcentre.org.uk/business-as-...

This week @debbiesorkin.bsky.social kicked off the 2nd cohort of our Systems Leadership Programme for public health professionals across #Yorks & the Humber.

Thank you to Andrew Blake-Herbert, Frances O'Callaghan & Edwin Ndlovu for leading powerful discussions on health & cohesion. Big thanks to Fiona Taylor, Lib Peck & David Rhodes for their insights on working with the criminal justice sector. What a jam-packed two days! 🙏

A huge thanks to community leaders Ben Lindsay, Laura Thomas-Hockey, Souci Frissa & Sister Christine for placing community at the heart of our discussions. Plus, Althea Loderick & Stuart Love, for your brilliant session on EDI and cultural competency in leadership! 🌍👏

This week, we came together for the latest session of the London Councils Aspiring Chief Executive Programme at Brixton Library (thanks to Amy Buxton-Jennings for hosting!). Our theme, "Place shaping and leading as a Chief Exec in contested spaces" sparked two days of rich dialogue and reflection. 🙌

And keep your eyes open please - with the support of #LondonCouncils (programme founder), we are preparing to launch (October) a national programme, but one that is then regionally delivered, focused and tailored, so that many more executive and corporate directors can participate and benefit.
