They were all playing Poohsticks together. They had dropped their sticks in when Rabbit said “Go!” and then they had hurried across to the other side of the bridge, and now they were all leaning over the edge, waiting to see whose stick would come out first. ~A.A.Milne #thursday

A real honour and privilege to lead a lecture this evening for Keele University 🐿️ on Navigating Strategic Resources as part of the Global Health Leadership. Great to be able to share experiences and talk about strategy with the students and faculty.

I am my mother's savage daughter The one who runs barefoot She looks for her omens In the colors of stones In the faces of cats In the dancing of fire In the curve of old bones She sings heathеn songs By the light of the moon And dreams she can reach it With a song & a broom.

Great to be able to go for a run with the hound this am. Weather a bit cooler, which was nice, but keeping up with D remains a challenge ! Four legs v two, it's no wonder I can't keep up. I hope you ge a chance to get out and blow off any cobwebs.

Piglet jumped backwards hurriedly, and smelt at his violets. “I think -” began Piglet nervously. “Don’t” said Eeyore. “I think violets are rather nice,” said Piglet. And he laid his bunch in front of Eeyore and scampered off. ~A.A.Milne #WednesdayMotivation #flowers #gift

Owl was telling Kanga an Interesting Anecdote full of long words like Encyclopaedia and Rhododendron to which Kanga wasn’t listening, for there came a sudden squeak from Roo, a splash, and a loud cry of alarm from Kanga. “Roo’s fallen in!” ~A.A.Milne #summerholidays

When something is beautiful…

When Rabbit said “Honey or condensed milk with you bread?” he was so excited that he said, “Both.” And for a long time after that he said nothing… until at last, humming to himself in a rather sticky voice, he got up and shook Rabbit lovingly by the paw. ~A.A.Milne #wednesday

Too often when we talk about "leaders", we focus on people who have "manager" or "director" in their job titles. We can end up undervaluing the role of informal leaders - team members who influence outcomes by the tone they set, their conduct & how they interact with others in

Tigger leant over the back of Roo’s chair, put out his tongue, and took one large golollop. Kanga said, “Oh!” and pulled the spoon safely out of Tigger’s mouth. But the extract of Malt had gone. “He’s taken my medicine!” sang Roo happily. ~A.A.Milne #golollop

Eeyore led the way to the most thistly-looking patch of thistles that ever was, and waved a hoof at it. “A little patch I was keeping for my birthday,” he said, “but, after all, what are birthdays? Here today and gone tomorrow. Help yourself, Tigger.” ~A.A.Milne #sharing #friends

“It’s the middle of the night, which is a good time for going to sleep. Tomorrow we’ll have honey for breakfast. Do Tiggers like honey?” “They like everything,” said Tigger cheerfully. “Then if they like going to sleep on the floor, I’ll go back to bed,” said Pooh. ~A.A.Milne
