Thought for the Week: Reassess your values - with the help of Gordon Ramsey
Kitchen Nightmare, Episode 2: The Atmosphere. This week, Gordon Ramsay asks restaurant owners to think hard about the atmosphere they are intending to create in their restaurant. What does the restaurant say about their values, and can they use lockdown to reconnect with their ‘Why’? As a quick recap, lockdown is your very own Kitchen Nightmare moment. In this version of the reality TV series, the restaurant represents your life.
Thought for the Week: Take a break from multitasking
The current disruptions to how we work can make it tempting to juggle multiple tasks at once, while work and home life blend ever closer together. But there's a trade-off to constant screen time and trying to do too much, writes Recipes for Wellbeing's Greta Rossi. This week, pause for a moment and give your brain a breather. The current pandemic has disrupted the way social impact leaders work, collaborate, and bring about positive change in society.

Thought for the Week: Be brave enough to express how you're really feeling
We have a lot of time with ourselves in times of lockdown and isolation. There's so much that we're taking in or ruminating on, but not letting out. I think this is a time to express ourselves and have some release. If we don’t let out some of these emotions we’re feeling right now, and they get bottled in, they will just come out in different – and often negative – ways. Expression also helps you to connect with others, which is so important right now.
Thought for the Week: You can transform overwhelm into brilliance
It’s big stuff that we’re all going through right now. The survival of many organisations, including social enterprises, is at stake, and for many it’s overwhelming. This feeling of ‘overwhelm’ cuts the knees out from our confidence and blocks our ‘brilliance’ to figure out a way forward. Overnight, our routines have been disrupted both at home and work. Many of these changes are significant shocks to tolerate and make sense of, let alone the direct effects of the pandemic.
‘We’re pausing our community relationships, not just the business’ - Rosie Greatorex, Lexi cinema
“Cinema is a sector which is going to be hit really hard by the pandemic. A lot of major titles have moved their release dates to 2021, so there will be fewer big films to bring in box office revenues. We also also don’t know how long it's going to take for people to feel comfortable sitting in an auditorium again. Box office analysts have been saying that after reopening it could take 14 weeks for the landscape to return to normality. For small cinemas like us, that’s a really long time.

Thought for the Week: Start by establishing some ground beneath your feet

This time, leadership coach and mindfulness teacher Tim Segaller offers a simple exercise to rest and reboot. You hardly need me to tell you that these are times of great turbulence and uncertainty.
How to think clearly and creatively under pressure
Today’s workplaces are not very conducive to clear thinking. With high levels of noise and other sensory stimuli, and constant interruptions from phone calls, emails and meetings, the average office can often feel like the worst place to think properly. This is richly ironic, given what’s required of employees today – especially those in senior roles – calls for the clearest thinking.
Authentic leadership is not about revealing weaknesses but finding your own style
‘Authentic leadership’ is a relatively new concept in leadership development and people management. It usually describes the value of leaders and managers ‘being themselves’ at work, instead of putting on a front and hiding their weaknesses. The core attitudes espoused here – vulnerability and transparency – do hold some water. But in my experience there are considerable risks when leaders step too far away from their essential role of modelling a high level of self-management and capacity.
