Thanks for the reminder about self-compassion. As they say on the planes, we need to put the oxygen mask on ourselves first. Totally agree with you that these past two school years have been so challenging so being kind to ourselves is key. Good luck on Monday and I also can’t wait to hear about your thinking on Pluralism. @ckirsh

Such a great insight into a shared feeling of wondering where education will “net out” once we have a vaccine in place. What elements of NOW will we keep and will remain and what will we celebrate saying goodbye to. Time will tell.

Looping in your whole support team (below) to ensure they read this great posts. I have passed it along to numerous colleagues at York who have let me know how helpful your framing has been in helping them “see” what they ARE doing instead of what they are NOT. Mindset is everything right now.

Many of the strategies that Ardra used in your grad course you will find embedded in the C21 process. It is all about the relationships.
