“Equipped for Change: Making the Shift to Create Impact”

Change is a process that begins with an event. When we are faced with new and challenging situations, it is natural to want to go back to what we see as “normal”. But what if we embrace the process of change to make a shift in the way that we think, so that we can create an impact in the things that we do? In these times, we have to look ahead with fresh eyes and a new mindset in order to connect in different ways with a diverse society. The world is constantly changing, and if we want to create opportunities for our students, we have to change as well. In this session, we’ll examine the ways in which we can leverage the process of change to equip us to engage, connect and make a long-lasting impact on those we encounter. We’ll examine new ways of thinking, being and doing so that we can take action and become the catalyst to create our “next normal”. Change is a process that BEGINS with an event. We are MORE than the event. Join me as we embark on the shift together.
