I am an Amara Thinking Space Partner because…
I believe that the better the quality of thinking in these times, the better the quality of decision making in leadership. These are turbulent taxing times for leaders, how do you find a safe space to be yourself and find the strength to hold on. I recall how pausing to breathe, and to think with someone who brought deep attention, gave me courage and resolve. I’m looking forward to being able to return the gift of being a thinking buddy to help someone else to hold on and have the bravery to come back day after day.
Amara Thinking Space inspires me…
to offer companionship, compassion, and some shared understanding and empathy of the personal challenges of leadership.
My favourite Street Smart practice or story is…
a ‘Jar of Memories’. It’s a timely reminder that our everyday actions today create the stories and memories of our lives in the future, and are to be treasured
What gives me the most joy in my life right now…
is seeing how our humanity is emerging in spite of the trials we are facing. What gives me hope for the future, is seeing how much kindness and connection means to me, friends, family, and strangers, seeing the signs of how forgiving and hopeful nature can be. Tulips in the garden, birds building nests, lambs in the fields.
