I’m running one of these with our client in the tech sector today and I just can’t wait!

It might only be a half-day workshop, but it’s full of straightforward #wellbeing habits for immediate use.

It’s #meditation without the woo-woo. No guru voice, guaranteed.

It’s easy to get caught up in planning and delivery of #training programmes, but notes like this bring me right back to the heart of it - people #learning, reflecting and changing together.

#SelfCare isn’t one size fits all.

For me, it’s an aftershave ritual - a scent that centres me.

In a recent blog post, I dug into how these small rituals can be powerful acts of #wellbeing and identity.

What ‘The Celebrity Traitors’ teaches us about team development - Justin Standfield

Being busy in back-to-back #meetings can feel productive, but our brains experience it as fatigue. Focus and #creativity need recovery time, not another calendar invite.

If I were dropped into #TheCelebrityTraitors as a #TeamDevelopment facilitator, I’d start with trust, purpose and #resilience (and maybe an air freshener, Celia Imrie). 💨

New blog: what the show reveals about real #TeamDynamics and how to keep your Faithfuls on track.

Guided Meditation: Relieving Stress - Justin Standfield

There’s something special about #feedback written by hand. Every comment like this reminds me why I do what I do - helping people #learn, grow and connect in real and lasting ways.

👏 Today our Beyond Boundaries participants celebrated the completion of their 6-month #IntentionalInclusivity programme with Incendo.

#InclusiveLeadership starts with listening - not the performative kind where you’re waiting for your turn to talk, but the courageous kind that’s willing to rethink your view.

It’s not about defending our stance; it’s about evolving it. That’s how #teams feel seen and how #leaders actually grow.

Breaking free from normalised neglect -

e of today’s sessions for #WorldMentalHealthDay focused on #burnout and what organisations need to be doing more of to protect their staff from the risks.

In Part 2 of my blog from earlier this week, I explore why benign neglect has become normalised – and what it might take someone to break free from it.

The overlooked toxicity of benign neglect -

Incendo @incendo.bsky.social · 27d

Most of us recognise toxic #leadership when we see it - the micromanager, the shouter, the control freak.

But there’s another, quieter kind of harm that slips under the radar: benign neglect. It’s what happens when #leaders fail through absence, not cruelty.

Go Ahead, Write in the Margins—It’s Good for Your Brain

Incendo @incendo.bsky.social · 27d

This is one of those things that’s always divided opinion among my friends & family…more of an etiquette thing than anything else. Rules from school perhaps.

Where do you stand on notes in books?

Annotating the margins of books is an important part of deep reading and has a long legacy of merit in both science and literature

It’s worth paying attention to the line between #confidence and arrogance in your own #leadership style, your team #culture or the way you #coach others, because confidence grounded in humility is magnetic.

Arrogance, no matter how polished, usually repels.

💻With that calm half-smile, you’re giving big “I know the WiFi password, but I’m going to let you struggle for a bit first” energy. 4/4

🟠Orange background? Bold choice. It screams, “I’m the human embodiment of a highlighter pen, you will NOT scroll past me.”

🪓The #beard says lumberjack, but the blazer says management consultant. Basically you look like you could both chop the wood and lead a strategy session on stacking it. 3/4

Curiosity has got the better of me - here’s what it had to say about mine.

🧔🏻‍♂️You look like you’re about to give a TED Talk titled “Beards: A Journey from Hipster to Wise Sage.” 2/4

I recently attended a webinar on #PersonalBranding.

One of my fellow participants mentioned that AI had given them useful feedback on aspects of their online presence - but they’d ALSO asked it to roast their #LinkedIn profile photo! 1/4

When “can” gets ahead of “should” in L&D -

Incendo @incendo.bsky.social · Sep 25

Just because we can doesn’t mean we should. In L&D, the trendiest tool isn’t always the right one. Pause, reflect and design #training for impact. Read more:
