How to pick a project worth pursuing:

1. Interest: do you think about it in your free time and bring it up in random conversations?

2. Importance: if we understood it, would the world be a better place?

3. Contribution: do you have something novel to add?

Let's imagine the future of #learning and #growth! 10 years from now, what do you think we will look back on as one of the most important, but surprising, "ripple effects" of the current crisis? #imaginable

Use the Futures Wheel to map out potential implications of a substantial #change (anticipated or real) across a range of possibilities. I love deceptively simple tools that can create big-time light bulb moments! #msloc @iftf by @changeist https://t.co/GylMfAyP0H

Lovely guidance to embrace 'liminality', the unmoored state between what-was and what-might-yet-be. It's a time for "the cognitive processes that allow us to fully develop our humanity." Great parallels to our recent @NU_MSLOC panel about managing #transitions during COVID-19.

Eight strategies from @jmacoaching on How to Lead your Remote Team’s Emotions. A question I really like to ask to prompt sharing and reflection: "What have you learned about yourself during stay-at-home/work-from-home?" https://t.co/jPopqMbs6t

Lovely summary of the @IDEO webinar last week on #communication and #behaviorchange sparked by #COVID19. I especially appreciated the comment that health isn't just individual, it's social: decisions about #health are made within families, communities, & other social formations.

On the value of #rituals: "We feel out of control when we experience #loss... Rituals restore some of that control." from @HarvardBiz. My new ritual the past couple of weeks has been a pre-work walk and a post-work walk outside every day. What's yours? https://t.co/HDAfxlBu8T

Join me in thanking the #YMCA staff and volunteers fighting #COVID19 on the frontlines by providing emergency child care, food for the hungry and support for the homeless, isolated and most vulnerable. They're heroes, and I'm incredibly proud and humbled to be their colleague.

[Jenna Brubaker @jennabrub]

Thank you and shout-out to all the Ys who are offering emergency child care for front-line workers desperate for help! https://t.co/q4kRp8bXes via @TODAYshow @YMCA

Nonprofits like the #YMCA make my community stronger. Thank you @SenDuckworth and @SenatorDurbin for including help for nonprofits in the CARES Act! Please be sure to include #Relief4Charities in future bills too! #YAdvocate

[Jenna Brubaker @jennabrub]

My community relies on nonprofits like the #YMCA, especially in challenging times. I don’t want to imagine #Illinois without the Y. @SenDuckworth and @SenatorDurbin, support $60B in #Relief4Charities to keep our communities healthy and strong!

In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort. The first of my #SongsOfComfort: Dvořák – "Going Home”

Stay safe.
