Why does my inbox look empty, but it isn't… Because I snooze emails. A lot. Maybe you’ve found ‘snooze’ already. But if not, you’re in for a treat :) It’s one of the best ways I’ve found to protect my time, my brain, and my well-being.

September INSET is coming. Faster than we’d like! There’ll be the usual - mandatory training, safeguarding updates, maybe some new policies. It’s one of the few moments in the year when *everyone* is in the room. So here’s a question: How could you use INSET to grow culture, not just compliance?

Well-being. That word again. Everyone wants you to look after theirs. But who looks after yours? I know you try your best to support your team. But there’s one way I see that I think would benefit from a little tweak… Emails.
