@thedancingflea.bsky.social @pialidg.bsky.social @resident-music.com I think it only right that I should say that 2025 is the year that I fill in the remaining gaps in my collection of records by The Mekons.

I made myself listen to all of this just to ensure I had the context (they were closing on the theme of hope). Is it so hard to think about, let alone express sympathy for the victims? Seemingly so among the self-regarding and entitled. open.spotify.com/episode/3zxt...

🚀 It’s been a busy week at #LGAConf24! @mkmrogers.bsky.social attended on behalf of the Leadership Centre, hearing insights from sector leaders. A strong focus emerged: building relationships & making leadership a "team sport" is more crucial than ever in these challenging times.

This week, we came together for the latest session of the London Councils Aspiring Chief Executive Programme at Brixton Library (thanks to Amy Buxton-Jennings for hosting!). Our theme, "Place shaping and leading as a Chief Exec in contested spaces" sparked two days of rich dialogue and reflection. 🙌

And keep your eyes open please - with the support of #LondonCouncils (programme founder), we are preparing to launch (October) a national programme, but one that is then regionally delivered, focused and tailored, so that many more executive and corporate directors can participate and benefit.
