Sometimes we drown not because there’s too much noise, but because we choose to listen.

Step back.
Say no.
Leap.

Trust that the net will appear.

Stop pretending you can outrun reality.

The truth will always find you.
And when it does, you’ll wish you had confronted it sooner.

Make it your currency, no matter how uncomfortable.

What truth is your board avoiding? What’s it costing you?

Hey, Superman...

Stop -

🚫 Swooping in with all the answers
🚫 Solving everything on your own
🚫 Shielding your board from the real challenges

You don't need to fly in to save the day.

#Governance is meant to carry the weight with you.

Drop the cape... 😉

Brain whirrs... if nothing else, you've reminded me that I never finished this... could be interesting, but it's quite long for Easter.

Well, over the last couple of days/nights (mostly between 2-3am...) I have written a poem. Who knew...
So I'm being brave and posting it on here. A few random reflections on being a chair of governors.
Be kind ❤️
