This is the home of our blog...
We are going to share ideas and articles here gathered from over a thousand managers and leaders completing "Lead to Succeed" with us, with contributions from our own team of experts, former inspectors and business leaders.
Thanks for the feedback over recent weeks to the blog posts. We know that these are challenging times and we are all adapting as we go. This week, I wanted to follow up the recent post around “learning vs training” and its counterpart, but “eLearning doesn’t work, does it?” We know you have all had…
Thanks again for everyone’s feedback following the recent posts and welcome to the new subscribers who have joined us recently. This week, I want to go back to the post from two weeks ago: “Learning vs Training”, looking specifically at Infection Control. The essence of the recent post was that learning is what we take…
I know we thank everyone for their feedback at the beginning of each post, but I wanted to thank those people who have contacted us directly following the last two weeks’ posts, sharing how it had prompted them to think and re-ignited their passion for what they do. We were genuinely delighted to hear that…
Last week, we talked about the fact that “eLearning does not work” – well, ordinary eLearning doesn’t anyway. After we published last week’s post, a friend shared that they worked in Air Conditioning, with a number of current contracts in NHS settings. As a result, they had to undertake loads of eLearning… (sound familiar?). …

You have probably all had to do lots of eLearning recently because face-to-face is not…
Following last week’s post about Online Learning at Work Week and Mental Health Awareness Week, I wanted to go back to something we started looking at a few weeks back when I wrote the “Not April Fools” post. I shared how we had learnt that we could do things differently, things that previously we thought…
As you might be aware, it’s Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK, focussing on the power and potential of kindness. I don’t need to tell you to be kind to others (bit patronising, to be honest!) as it’s what most people do instinctively and what most of us do in our everyday job role….
Over the last two months, we have seen a complete transformation in the way that people are working and living. There are great stories emerging about people spending more time with their loved ones and getting round to doing the jobs that have been put off. I remain amazed at the resilience and positivity that…
We know it is not quite May 4th just yet, but we are delighted to achieve Skills for Care Centre of Excellence for the fourth year in a row and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank my team for all of their hard work in making this happen. Literally thousands of managers and…
Thanks for the kind feedback on last week’s Resilience blog; I hope it provided some support during this difficult time for all. I wanted to turn this week to another key issue – the recruitment and retention of care workers. This has always been a thorny issue within the adult social care space, though there…
