Conversations
Your space of inspiration, hope, connection and joy.
October 22, 4 PM Central European Time (Prague, Amsterdam)
Support your
communities through pandemic with courage, resiliency, and joy.
These are unprecedented and uncertain times. We must physically distance from one another, yet it is a human need to belong and connect.
In Thursday's Community Conversation, Mary Lou Cobb will share some of the lessons she learned as a head of school for 45 years about leading through challenging times.
She will discuss ways in which school leaders can tap into their own reserves of courage and resiliency, even when they are feeling unsure and in need.
She will also address the importance of supporting faculty and families, and most of all, children, so they too can move forward with courage and resiliency.
Mary Lou will explore, with the attendees' help, how do we continue to seek joy during this difficult time
