Change is so often seen as a bad thing based on something not working, but the ability to change an adapt is a huge positive. Education changes all the time depending on government change, strategies not working. We need to be equally as adaptable to internalise, and make it work for stakeholders.

It's important to be open & informed. When the facts change, we need to adapt and not be afraid to change direction. #UKEdGovs #UKEd

2/2 One of the ways I have tried to mitigate this is to ask govs to send questions to the GProf, before the meeting to give them a voice. It also makes sure ALL govs read the documents prior to the meeting. 😅

1/2 Very true! I have witnessed the loudest voices that can dominate meetings that don’t actually ask the right questions, whilst quieter individuals get completely overlooked. Cont/d

Ey up! I thought you had been up early in’t garden with a cup of Yorkshire tea snappin’t flowers 😜

So true, we also need that light to light up those hidden timers, see things that aren’t necessarily obvious by asking questions that satisfy.

We need to be clear in our purpose & communicate it to others (vision). We need to know what we stand for & demonstrate that in all our actions & interactions (values). We need to be impactful in our work & ensure this impact is positive for all our children & YP (effective/reflective) #UKEdGovs

We definitely need to do that to come back fresh and ready to go, or run the risk of burning out or resenting the role.

I hope we're going to take a break for at least some of it and do something we enjoy with people we like being with, or on our own if that's what helps us relax and recharge. #UKEdGovs

That can be a real challenge can’t it. I know I have been guilty of that in the past but realised that I had more time on my hands so had to cut them some slack. The issues tho means we can over compensate and make excuses for non engagement of others which can end up in taking on the workload.

Definitely 💯!!! It’s the best part of the job!! 😊
