On this #InternationalDayfortheEradicationofPoverty, my new blog asks about the poverties we do not measure: of relationship, belonging, time, attention and care.
Perhaps #poverty is larger than we imagine. #EndPoverty #UNPovertyDay

Perhaps the greatest act of #confidence is admitting we don't know. In #care, in leadership and in life, #uncertainty can be a source of #wisdom rather than weakness. My new blog: The Wisdom of Not Knowing. #WorldMentalHealthDay

https://t.co/jw8XF2v2gY

[Donald Macaskill @DrDMacaskill]

What if #wisdom begins where certainty ends? A conversation about #care, #humanity and the courage to live with unanswered questions. Listen to the latest podcast discussion inspired by The Wisdom of Not Knowing. #SocialCare #WorldMentalHealthDay
