Professor Eddie Obeng talking about change at #ilconf23

Had to miss the first #ilconf23 talk this morning as I had to have a conversation with OfSTED for one of the schools that I support.

It was Jaz Ampaw Farr, CEO Human First Leadership, who I have heard speaking before luckily.

Next up is Sam Freedman, Senior Fellow at the Institute of Government, Senior Adviser to the Education Charity Ark.

Closing the first day was the inspirational Fatima Bhutto.

Love this #quote!

#ilconf23

Are we caught in ‘busyness’ - If we want to get things done - pause.

Are we caught in ‘Anticipatory Worry’ - worried about that what has not happened.

“It wasn’t the hours I worked, it was the hours I worried about the work that took the toll on me.” Stephen Tierney

Great to see #FocusTrust being mentioned on #mindfulness and a slide with a quote from one of our headteachers. #ilconf23

Maggie Farrar and Dr Alan Lee talking about #Mindfulness, #ImposterSymdrome and the importance of looking after ourselves #ilconf23

Great to hear Bruce Daisley (ex Twitter) suggesting that Twitter is significantly more toxic and not a good place to be. Unfortunately he didn’t recommend #Mastodon as an alternative- he didn’t recommend anything. #ilconf23

Never in the history of ‘calming down’ has someone calmed down by being told to calm down. #ilconf23

Next up, Bruce Daisley, ex #Twitter VP, writer and podcaster. Encouraging us to visit #fesshole at the moment to unburden yourself. #ilconf23

Start of the #ilconf23 with Kelly Beaver from IPOS. #inspiringleaders
