Really needed this handbook in my life!
Read it, then read it again to really give myself time to think about the reflective questions.
It has been so helpful in thinking about where we are and how we move forwards @lekhasharma.bsky.social
Thanks for the recommendation @nimishlad.bsky.social

Thank you @lekhasharma.bsky.social for such a helpful & insightful CPD session today!

I particularly found the ICAN framework helpful & feel empowered by this structure to support culture building. I also thought discussion around psychological safety hugely informative. Trust is everything!
