π This photo may look like just another photo of an executive development program. But we made magic together! The room vibrated with positive energy and commitment to learning. I honestly canβt recall having this much fun teaching β and I LOVE teaching! π We laughed, we learned, we practiced β and we connected deeply. Thank you, Jennifer Lau, MBA, for inviting me, thanks to Dean Marchildon and Sara Makiya for helping me prepare, and to Kailyn Saxer-Taulbee and Charlotte Grinnell for making everything run smoothly. You helped create a wonderful space for learning! And the participants... I'm struggling to find the right words. You brought such curiosity and warmth, your whole hearts and openness to the room that I could feel it sing! We danced, didnβt we? You allowed me to do what I love doing the most β sharing what I know about how to help people grow. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
