This is a fascinating book for anyone interested in self-reflexivity - although that term never features in the book. It offers some crucial insights about the difficulty of self-knowledge. Well written, clear and engaging too.

Where do you eat your lunch? Outside? On the go? At your desk? Meal times are a construct but when and where we eat is related to how much and how well we eat. We might eat better & find other benefits like movement or outdoor nourishment if we take lunch away from work… 1/2

2020 - practically all organisations had a Black Lives Matter statement, pledging to address racism. 2021 - Tories got Sewell to assemble Black people to say systemic and institutional racism didn't exist despite clear evidence it did. 2023 - Met is denying institutional racism

"The challenge is that people have different interpretations of what institutional means." Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley tells @krishgm why he will not accept there is institutional racism in the force.

I keep getting these ads in my feed. They're driving me so nuts. How about 'The first time he (she/they) hear "being respectful is admirable, strong, and brave"' Let's change the narrative so that the onus isn't on those being disrespected to change their situation.

On #InternationalWomensDay - and EVERY OTHER DAY - don't use words like 'empower' and 'celebrate'. Instead, use words like 'hire', 'promote', 'pay', 'raise', 'bonus', 'fund', 'invest in', 'enrich', 'give equity to', 'elect', 'lead' - and don't just say it, DO IT. #IWD #IWD2023

I did some surveying of leadership programmes last year to benchmark #WELeadFood. Naturally, not all leadership programmes are created equally, and obviously, they are not all suitable for. These are my conclusions and advice #IWD2023
