They let me loose on the CIPD podcast! Thanks to Lisa for hosting a chat where I reflect on the challenges we face as a profession - but also why the answers to many organisational performance and productivity now flow through people professionals getting things right. (1/3)

Great to support our @CIPD CPO community on Weds with a discussion in partnership with @DukeU Exec Ed and speaker @SharmlaC - focussed on supporting leadership development & decision making in a more uncertain world. New forms of performance intelligence needed!

I’ve read this and I still can’t quite believe they would ever be so stupid.
NEW: BBC will no longer have a dedicated education editor as part of proposal that will see 100 jobs go across BBC News. School leaders call the plan “deeply regrettable” and ask for a rethink. Education/Social affairs editor jobs being combined. theguardian.com/media/2026/o…

Exactly, the Climate Change Committee estimates that the UK will still rely on oil and gas for 20% of its energy needs in 2050. There is no contradiction in supporting domestic production for this purpose and also championing renewables investment. True progressives can handle trade-offs of this kind, populists cannot. arguably.uk/p/is-net-zero-st…
I think we’re also in this weird place where people don’t understand that Net Zero doesn’t mean zero fossil fuels. Until they invent electric shipping freighters and can substantially scale up non-fossil fuel fertiliser production, the entire world will rely on them.

Good to see we've approved Jackdaw after all these years - I realise it's not as though there's major disruption to energy supplies across the globe, or that there's any reason for urgency, or any shortage of high-skilled jobs, but better safe than sorry bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

At 9:15am today, Wales will fall silent to remember those who were taken from us in the Aberfan disaster. 60 years may have passed, but we will never forget them.

“Now, gentlemen, let us do something today which the world may talk of hereafter.” A happy Trafalgar Day to all. A reminder of that the denial of the North Atlantic to adversaries is, was, and will remain the primary directive of security for these isles. Get those boats built.
#OnThisDay 221 yrs ago in 1805 @RoyalNavy was successful in defeating the Franco-Spanish Fleet at #Trafalgar confirming British superiority of the seas. Lord Nelson died before the end, having done his duty, handing over Command to another great commander Admiral Collingwood.

That requires confidence, commercial understanding and an ability to cope with taking big decisions when the path ahead isn't entirely clear. We are going to do everything we can to help professionals navigate this world. (2/3)

Being willing to take steps that are generally right, but may prove to be specifically wrong matters. Better to have moved generally in the right direction and be a little off target, than to sit on your hands and be miles away. Listen here: cipd.org/uk/knowledge/podcas… (3/3)

Looking forward to my first @CIPD Trust Advisory Board today! While the core of the organisation is focused on helping members build their careers and impact in delivering workplaces that perform, the Trust is where members give back to the wider public benefit.

Elvis is spot on here. A lesson for leaders in general. I’m enjoying what he is achieving at Dundee.
Got to credit @DanAbrahams77 here for making me aware of this piece of absolute coaching gold dust ⭐️ Listen up and take heed of this coaches, because this is the best lesson you’ll learn today 🙌🏼 #SundayShare @SundayShare10

This morning's official #LabourMarket stats paint a picture of a world where employers are surviving, but not yet thriving. Firms are maintaining jobs, but careful of adding it - notably among smaller firms as @ons note. So much of this caution is fear of what happens next. (1/2)

This makes the Budget a big deal. No more nasty surprises - but maybe also some things that help on regulation, taxation and skills. Read more at cipd.org/uk/about/press-rele… (2/2)

Here’s what reffing for the @OxfordshireRFU taught me about leadership for the @CIPD… (1/billions) lol. Just nice to get back out there after three weeks in the new job to keep a decent game between @DidcotRUFC and @BuckinghamRUFC on the road. @Oxonrugbyrefs
