“I believe that work of excellence is transformational. Once a student sees that he or she is capable of excellence, that student is never quite the same”. Good morning #motivation#AcademicChatter#education
“ After all, if we cannot think for ourselves, we are opening ourselves up to allowing others to think for us, which will never serve us well.”

Leah Nord reflecting on the new @ceric_ca survey @cannexus#Cannexus22: Reconsider the term “soft skills”. Yes! These critical skills are anything but soft and continually valued by employers. The new survey emphasizes this. How about #humanskills or #powerskills? #skillsgap
This is a powerful video that educators should take the time to watch.

My father was a hand-holder. He would hold your hand when he was speaking to you, no matter whether you were a family member, friend, or someone he just met. It was his way of showing that he was fully listening.

I like to think of life as a series of chapters. 2020 was a tough chapter, but with much learning, resiliency built & many moments of joy. Many of my clients are starting a new chapter in 2021 - a new program, job, direction-I’m excited for them! What will your next chapter be?
In a recent meeting, @w_m_c, President & CEO of @bbbsc stated: “We are adaptable and grateful”. What a great mantra for all of us, as we navigate life. In particular right now, navigating Thanksgiving weekend or our careers, keeping adaptability & gratitude in mind is helpful.
I find myself speaking to clients about navigating our current reality’s ups and downs before even getting to the concrete actions they can take to navigate their careers.
What advice do I have?
First, I invite you to sit on the bench: https://t.co/TClepyRgN8
I often get questions about how to know whether a job is the right one. Take the pressure off - think about your first job(s) as an experiment. You’re learning, testing your skills & a new industry. Don’t worry if you go on to something else after;that’s great learning in itself!
So true! The world will benefit later from the investment you make in yourself now . Think of the early part of your career as the learning phase - an extension of your education.
Your first job doesn't have to make the world a better place. It just needs to make you better.
It's not selfish to invest in your own development. You do that when you go to college, and it applies to your early career too.
Learning today prepares you for more impact tomorrow.
Happy @bbbsc Day! Developmental Relationships – every child needs them - individuals who: express care; challenge growth; provide support; share power & expand possibilities. Young people across Canada are waiting for a mentor. https://t.co/Ym54J1hCER
