I enjoyed it, single source of light in each scene makes for quite a dark movie, some of it is genuinely creepy.

Being included as decent EduTwitter, I like... I'm hoping people have kept their handles from Twitter, but I do need to get my head around the differences between here and there.

Hello! Took a social media break because I needed it. Who should I be following? Who is here from Twitter, and where do I find them? So many questions...

You'll suddenly find lots of people mysteriously visiting just to check in, or for an urgent meeting...

The images one was particularly tricky, I think she'll have to spend quite a bit of time exploring "transparency of intent".

Done. An interesting question that required some thought before filling in.

Fluid is a difficult one, I usually make sure that I am well hydrated by drinking enough in the days before the race, and then only taking on small amounts as needed from the water stops. Depending on heat on the day. You could use a camelpack or something similar with electrolytes in it.

Carb load for a few days by replacing some protein in the meals rather than eating more calories. Don't just binge on pasta the night before. Stick to the gels you normally use when training, you also want to have them before you feel like you need them. I usually hit them at 5k, 10k & 15k.

Remember that you've done that. I speak from experience, having done something similar, and then wondering why said thing didn't work when I needed it.

In primary, especially in small schools, I think there are challenges around pay/responsibilities from both leadership and staff expectations. UPS does suggest that they have the experience/abilities for leadership roles. TLRs also enter this equation. What is affordable/justified for the role

I think that should be built in to the induction and offer for all staff.

Ben Brown @edroundtables.bsky.social · 05/09/2024

I have noticed as I have started coaching is that there must be an element of assertiveness in leadership, setting of mutual expectations and a follow up if something doesn't happen (for whatever reason). Worth thinking about what your boundaries are and what you are prepared to tolerate in others.

Ben Brown @edroundtables.bsky.social · 05/09/2024

Coming to this a little late. I think that an element that can be missing in some leadership styles is being human. If we focus on process, policy and procedure we can forget the people at the heart of the organisation. That said, it doesn't mean letting people take advantage of you. 1/

It's changed a bit from when I used to go there as a kid. That's the Plaza, right? Round the corner from the Fleece?

Have you got Splinter of the Mind's Eye - Alan Dean Foster? If the original film hadn't been a success, this was going to be the low-budget sequel.

Ok, so no standard chart pop. Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit - Dylan Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man - Mr Rusty Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar - Dougal Frank Zappa - Peaches and Regalia - Zebedee You've got Florence. Slowdive - Alison - Brian

Is it to dance to or for another reason?

Ben Brown @edroundtables.bsky.social · 23/08/2024

Surely some Bob Dylan is required.

But work might be a reason to not like Mondays... Maybe. 🤷‍♀️

I was contemplating that for my list. The title rather than the lyrics?

Productive procrastination... if it's not a thing, it should be... Learning stuff that might come in handy one day...

Paywalled, so many won't read it. Probably more engagement from readers sharing. E.g. the Guardian and Marina Hyde often trends.

Assassin was virtually scene for scene identical to the original, just for American audiences, so I can live with it. I just have a weird love of Luc Besson movies and, by extension, Jean Reno and Christopher Lambert.

Found it in your list of films. We have a very similar movie playlist, but you are lacking some foreign language films... La Femme Nikita (1990) Feral drug addict becomes assassin. Delicatessen (1991) Post apocalypse setting: cannibal butcher v retired clown

Agree. Have done work on this with different teams and have gone back to the 5 Dysfunctions many times over the years. It has been particularly helpful in guiding my thinking ‘ planning, in several of my leadership roles. I’ve always liked the nuance & consideration toward vulnerability based trust

That isn't necessarily on the first day back though...

I feel like I'm stalking you today... But this leads back to that conversation on Trust Part of a summary of Lencioni I did for the heads in the EDRT tribe, I think that this is where whole school CPD can be useful, if the answer is no, then this is where something needs to be done with everyone. 1/
