The difference between being kind and being nice - well worth a read

Think you’re kind? Maybe you’re just being nice. I’ve learned there’s a big difference | Ann Russell

Like many women, I was conditioned to people-please – until I realised that this was neither helping others, nor myself, says author Ann Russell

Loved this session tonight (my first time). Really enjoyed the focus on deep listening - we always start a change project with an "understand" phase so why are we so quick to jump to solutions in a conversation? Deeper listening is good!

Listening is a relational practice we do between us. It is not easy to do it genuinely, and yet it is essential. It rests on so much more than skills. It can't be faked or achieved by shortcuts. It requires lifelong learning, humility, care, and curiosity. And it is so worthwhile.

Thanks @kindnesshealthcare.bsky.social for a really vibrant conversation about responding meaningfully to #ChangeNHS- so it's not just another lifeless plan.

We need more emphasis on the RELATIONAL not just the rational, & to open up honest dialogue about other important tensions within healthcare.

Researchers found that to address the epidemic of mental ill health among HCPs, workers needed:

Targeted MH interventions
Hot food
Rest areas/lockers
Free parking

Essentially staff just need to be valued & treated like human beings.

Rocket science it is not.
