Ms Irene Chan: All you need is love. But how do we operationalise love within organisations? Many health services list compassion as a core value. But what does this look like in day-to-day practice? #SPCC2026

Friendliness isn't always a sign of trustworthiness. Warmth is easy to fake. The foundations of trust are reliability and integrity. What counts isn't courtesy in the moment—it's keeping commitments over time. The best way to inspire confidence is to consistently walk our talk.

Emotion regulation is not about denying your feelings. It's about choosing a constructive response. Victimhood is blaming others for what you feel. Regulation is taking responsibility for how you react. A key to resilience is expanding the space between stimulus and response.

Psychological safety is not about withholding criticism. It’s about enabling people to speak up without fear. The goal is not to lower our standards. It’s to replace knee-jerk reactions with open-minded consideration. All ideas are welcome. Not all views are equally valid.

#Kindness makes the world go round ⁦@LaTrioli⁩ abc.net.au/news/2025-02-15/v…

Kindness can hide in a polarised world but it is there if you look for it

A human exchange on a flight reminded me that it is never too late to rediscover your ability to show compassion for others.

“I don’t know” is not an admission of ignorance. It’s an expression of intellectual humility. “I was wrong” is not a confession of failure. It’s a display of intellectual integrity. “I don’t understand” is not a sign of stupidity. It’s a catalyst for intellectual curiosity.

GP shortfall forecast to grow to 8,900 by 2048, and is likely to disproportionately impact rural, regional and remote areas #RuralHealth ⁦@RuralDoctorsAus⁩ abc.net.au/news/2025-01-22/r…

The 'bidding war' for Australia's GPs isn't fair and it's set to escalate
