When we honestly ask ourselves whcih persons in our lives means the most to us, it is those who instead of giving advice, solutions or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand

Watching in disbelief as people flock to the pubs in the
#UK
to socialise as much as possible until shutdown at 9 pm - whilst we in Victoria
#Aus
closed our pubs down totally to combat
#COVID19Aus
and stop 2nd wave. Current daily score
#Aus
18 new cases
#UK
6,300

When I despair, I remember that through history, the way of truth & love have always won. There have been tyrants & murderers & for a time they seemed invincible but in the end they always fall - Gandhi
When someone says 'where do you find the time for
#Twitter
or
#socialmedia
? - they have this conception that it is trivial or frivolous rather an an extraordinary way to connect and collaborate
The New Tech is a catalyst for putting
#peoplefirst
in the
#futureofwork
but only if our work cultures elevate every person. Right now, most cultures are not like this, they have inequities. If you were to change this, where would you start?

The idea that we have to 'measure everything by numbers' in business is so 90's, so one dimensional, so rational, so head not heart. In the future of work let us embrace

My son’s little cavalier dog was bravely barking at this huge

who started to go into attack mode beating its chest - check out the six pack! Thank goodness for the fence !

A

is someone who sees what others can't see yet and who initiates a conversation so that others can see enough to be drawn into a

We lost one family member in the
#UK
from
#coronavirus
two weeks ago and now a second member, Len, is fighting for his life in hospital, a much loved great granddad. The hardest thing for the family is not being able to see or talk with him, he is emotionally isolated from us.
We snuff the creativity out of our children and we force them into pathways that don’t engage their individuality. I think of one of my favourite Brit bands in the 70s - Pink Floyd - the kids crying ‘we are just bricks in the wall’ The future starts with the individual

One of our family members in the
#UK
contracted
#coronavirus
and has just died. There are many grieving family members, so sad. One thing that the family has been discussing is why it is so important to social distance & take this seriously - it is killing people we love
I was trying to reach Big Jake the big grey kangaroo that lives behind our house to practice
#SocialDistancing
but he would have non of it. He got quiet grump and beat his chest and I beat a retreat !

Most of my
#tweets
are positive - I am reluctant to be negative. But today, as five members of my
#UK
family have
#COVID19
and one is dying - I am angry at the lack of decisive
#leadership
by
@BorisJohnson
who could have prevented this. I live in
#Melbourne
- no new cases
Awesome to see
@Twitter
take a stance against
@realDonaldTrump
for abusing community standards on Twitter. The best of
#Twitter
engages us to
#collaborate
with respect for each other and as equal voices - not as broadcasting. Also, we should uplift, not tear down on this platform
I started on
#Twitter
with 0 followers five years ago & I was grateful when someone followed me then. Just as grateful now & humbled that anyone real and authentic follows me. Someone said you need a hashtag - so for my first tweet I wrote
#fow
short for The Future of Work
My heart goes out to our family and friends in the
#UK
- In
#Melbourne
where I live, we went into hard lockdown for 14 weeks and now we are down to 0 cases today. Why is it so hard for the
#UK
to do the same, instead of dithering in between - why?
The union between 2 people who love each other for 40 + years is so beautiful. For hospitals to deny access to a partner who is dying from
#coronavirusaus
and not see them is cruel, not care. I have been married for 44 years & would rather die with my wife, than not see her
