I’m in a really interesting webinar on social media with Chloe Peters from @Jamontoast_UK #JOTHashtag


In today’s interview, Elsie Rogers tells us how a communication oversight nearly became a cost overrun, and highlights the value of corridor conversations. Watch (episode):ow.ly/YpAy50BWev2 Listen (episode):ow.ly/tpRq50BWeur #LearningLessonsFromProjects #CAMRPM


MPs need to vote to stop #ZeroRightsEmployment & the flawed #IR35 #Offpayroll rules. @AndrewSelous you need to vote to stop workers being denied employment rights. Pause the #OffPayrollTax NOW! Stand up for the #flexibleworkforce! #StopTheOffPayrollTax #StopIR35

As my MP @AndrewSelous please vote to stop #ZeroRightsEmployment in the #FinanceBill & pause the flawed #IR35 #Offpayroll rules that are damaging #freelancing & #contracting & the economy! #StopTheOffPayrollTax #StopIR35

In this interview, find out what happened when Real Project Manager Richard Humphrey proposed what he thought was a sensible and pragmatic change, and what he learned from it being completely dismissed! • Watch: bit.ly/3ftNu6T • Listen: bit.ly/3ftNDHt


In this interview, Richard Humphrey reminds us to pay attention to stakeholders' environment, and reminds us that incremental change is often better received and longer lasting than step change. • Watch: bit.ly/30JDMJQ • Listen: bit.ly/2UKQ9kN

Please @grahamemorris #VoteAmendmentA tomorrow to delay the flawed & damaging #IR35 #OffPayrollTax. This is the wrong time for the Government to push through this damaging & flawed policy. Support the #flexibleworkforce & #StopTheOffPayrollTax! #StopIR35

Please support David Davis, the flexible workforce and the UK economy @AndrewSelous

Thanks @DavidDavisMP for tabling amendments to support #selfemployed #contractors & #freelancers 👏🏼 The Govt should not be introducing the flawed #IR35 #OffPayrollTax now. All MPs who support the #UK’s #flexibleworkforce🇬🇧 should vote for amendments (a) & (b) on Tuesday 19/5👇🏼

As my MP @AndrewSelous will you oppose the Treasury’s deeply damaging & unfair plans to force thousands of UK workers into #ZeroRightsEmployment? The #IR35 #OffPayrollTax means lower pay & no rights! Please help #StopTheOffPayrollTax! #StopIR35 #Budget2020

Why are you destroying #contracting & forcing workers into #ZeroRightsEmployment @rishisunak @borisjohnson @conservatives? Your #IR35 #OffPayrollTax is a disaster for the UK’s #flexibleworkforce & the economy. Time to listen & #StopTheOffPayrollTax! #StopIR35 #Budget2020

Here is an example of a blanket decision @AndrewSelous #LaLaLaCantHearYou

ANOTHER BLANKET DECISION on #IR35 @RishiSunak @Jesse_Norman, this one from @MottMacDonald You know this is happening, you know YOUR proposed #IR35 #OffPayrollTax is causing chaos, that firms ARE blanketing & that UK #contractors are losing work! #StopTheOffPayrollTax #StopIR35

I saw them both late last year in Milton Keynes and yeah ... the giraffe joke ... !

I don't tweet very often... But just had to say the Dave Gorman show this evening in Aldershot was absolutely brilliant. I haven't laughed so hard for ages! Thank you @DaveGorman and Nick Doody Ps... The giraffe joke is hilarious



In this interview, Martin Robbie reminds us to prioritise and balance stakeholder's needs, and use just enough of communication to keep people informed but on task. Watch: ow.ly/GhRY50whlCu Listen: ow.ly/fLQ650whlDO #LearningLessonsFromProjects #CAMRPM
