On this episode, I will explore the idea of bringing our authentic selves to our work and profession. While I will use the context of teachers and teaching to discuss these topics, I am confident that the lessons and insights apply to many professions. I will share a few articles about the person in the practice, the implications for shifting our views of a profession as actions and individuals, and what we could/should do to attend to and grow the "somebody" in the work we do.

I hope you will join me for this episode.

In Episode 6 I explore the "prework" needed to create spaces to cultivate belonging, offer strategies to start this process, and talk about the importance of making a plan and setting a goal. Through person stories, professional experiences as a teacher, and academic research I share how goal setting might contribute to spaces to grow and sustaining belonging for us and members of our communities.

On today's episode we will talk about why the simple steps to belonging and community building can be the most difficult. We will examine some of those simple steps and the barriers to starting, how taking time - being patient and making time - being intentional can make all of the difference when cultivating connections, and finding comfort in discomfort. Who doesn't love a good paradox?? Through stories, research, and a sample of 1 (okay, maybe a few others), we will talk about, reflect on, and most important, act on these strategies.

I hope you will join us!

Also, in this episode - I ask for your experiences, opinions, and ideas about the role of manners (like yes ma'am and no-sir) in our quest to belong. If you have stories, ideas, or just opinions, please email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

In this episode we explore the definition of belonging, why fitting in is not belonging, and how we can, through small interventions, cultivate belonging and build connections in our communities. Tell Me This: If we value belonging and connection shouldn't we be taking action and devising strategies that create belonging, connections, and spaces where we can be seen?

Enjoy!
