    Episode 4: Making a Difference

    Hello Intrepid Leaders and welcome to another episode of the Leadership Log where we talk about navigating everyday leadership. In this episode I am joined by the lovely Sue Tranka, CNO Wales and Nurse Director NHS Wales, and we are chatting about how you can use your 'difference' to make a difference. Come with us and listen as we reflect on how we can and must strive to unleash the difference in others as well as ourselves by sponsoring and championing individuals. We share our love of the great Brene Brown and explore the power of embracing vulnerability and muse over why we may never truly be able to master it. And Sue tells a beautiful story about a time where she felt she used her differene to make a difference and encouraged a young person to embrace the art of the possible. We all have qualities that make us unique. Instead of trying to fit into a mold, we should embrace our differences and use them to our advantage. We can learn to value our unique perspectives and use them to solve problems in creative and innovative ways. Diversity is crucial in all aspects of life. When we surround ourselves with people who have different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, we can learn from each other and create a more inclusive world. By recognizing the value of diversity, we can build stronger communities and organizations. By using our unique qualities and perspectives, we can make a positive impact in the world. We can start by identifying areas where our differences can be an asset, and then take action towards making a change. Let's celebrate our differences and use them to create a more inclusive and equitable world. Sue's Bio  Sue is the Chief Nursing Officer for Wales and Nurse Director of NHS Wales, having taken up post in 2021. She has responsibility for Quality and Nursing policy at Welsh Government, with a focus on Maternity, neonatal and breastfeeding policy. The office of the CNO supports policy areas of nursing education, regulation, and workforce, Nurse Staffing Levels (Wales) Act 2016, Mental Health, Learning disability and Community Nursing.  Sue has 30 years of varied experience in nursing and her career has predominantly focused on quality improvement, human factors and safety systems.She was made an honorary visiting professor by University of Surrey in 2017 and more recently by Cardiff University.  In October 2020, Sue was listed among the Health Service Journal's 50 most influential people in health, and in December 2021 was awarded a fellowship of the Queen's Nursing Institute.  Sue is an alumni and previous leadership scholar of the Florence Nightingale Foundation and is a current Trustee of the Foundation.  Sue recently attended JFK School for Government at Harvard University and was awarded a certificate of completion for the ‘Leadership for the 21st century programme'.  Follow Sue on Twitter: @CNOWales We would encourage you to tune in and listen to our back catalogue of shows!

    Hello Intrepid leaders and welcome to another episode of the Leadership Log where we talk about navigating everyday leadership. In this episode we are going to chatting about leading with kindness with the lovely Rebecca Aylwrad Of course we view kindness as one quality of leadership. And, you don't have to look very far to find many stories and articles promoting random acts of kindness. That being said unfortunately there will be many of us who have been on the receiving end of leadership approaches that are void of any kindness. Random acts of kindness are important. But, if we want to be great leaders, maybe we shouldn't focus so much on being random, but instead focus on the one thing great leaders intentionally practice, kindness. Rebecca trained at the Royal London Hospital and worked at Guys Hospital London before returning to Wales. She has been a nurse for over 30 years and is passionate about nursing and strives to drive the quality agenda forward. Rebecca is now the Director of Nursing for Professional Standards, Governance and Improvement at Cardiff & Vale University Health Board. In 2018 she won the Chief Nursing Officer for Wales Leadership award at the Royal College of Nursing Nurse of the Year awards. Rebecca is also a member of the Florence Nightingale Foundation Scholar Alumni having completed the Senior Leader Scholarship in 2020. When not in work Rebecca is a keen runner (and will be running the London Marathon in October this year raising money for McMillan - she has already raised around 10K for this wonderful charity) and is a huge fan of 80's music.

    Hello and welcome to another episode of the Leadership Log where we talk about navigating everyday leadership. Storytelling is often the best way for leaders to communicate with people they are leading. Effective leaders—the Brene Browns as well as the Obamas — tell or embody stories that speak to other people. So is it the tool that everyone — leaders especially — should be constantly sharpening? In this episode we are going to be chatting to Jane Dwelly and exploring storytelling and making the case for storytelling as a key competence for effective leadership Jane can truly be described as a thought leader in digital health and in particular the development of people who are able to make this vital transformation happen.
