Quotes on the 200th episode celebration
- In everything you do at work, you use data to make decisions.
- When they are talking about diversity training, inclusion training and so on, it’s always focused on the people at the top and ignores the middle manager.
- Evidence based is four key areas: what the literature says (research), what the organisation says (key data points), stakeholders and expertise.
- Whenever I read a book, I take five memorable quotes, four stories, three practical activities, two frameworks, and one critical perspective. This allows me to get so much value from a book and make it practical, relevant, and something that I can communicate to other people.
- I like to watch movies that have a really simple narrative for my mental wellbeing.
