Anti-racism Mentor Training today. As always with #EdScotBRL @EdScotPLL CLPL sessions, it was full of inspiration, empowerment, learning, love, and deep reflection. So many notes taken and connections made with like-minded, inspiring people. Thank you.

Today is the 88th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, when thousands of East-Londoners stood alongside Jewish and Irish communities to drive out Oswald Mosley and his fascists. Never forget: working-class unity can defeat the far right for good.

There's a big difference between "speaking up" & "calling out". This is so relevant in the context of building psychological safety & addressing issues & concerns within teams. ‘Speak up’ cultures enable people to get under the surface of issues; to feel & be heard. ‘Call out’ cultures shut down open & honest communication, breeding fear & discontent. When things go wrong, there's often a knee jerk reaction towards fault finding. Stepping back from this & instead focusing on finding solutions supports growth & development of people & systems. linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…. By @drbrockbastian. Graphic: Mays W. on LinkedIn.
