Don’t suffer in silence.
Keep leaders/ influencers around you informed of your experience. Discuss options for improvement. No excuse is big enough NOT to look after each other. Keep well 💙💚

An intensely challenging week.
Learned more about myself, my limits and needs. Self care plus support of colleagues. Kept steady and kept challenging and miraculously kept going. Our culture will beat this time of challenge. 💙
