Introducing Live Calls & Curated Content #13 March 2024
A monthly email for paid subscribers with curated reads, videos, podcasts and other content which have interested or inspired me this month.
Hey Friends,
Hope everyone is well.
I am sending this email out a few days early as I have included a Q1 reflective practice in the resources below. Given many of you may have an extra day or two off over the Easter break, you might find a moment to check in with yourself and life to ask how 2024 is going so far. Hopefully the reflective practice will help with that.
For those interested in the topic, LinkedIn News reached out this week to ask me to contribute some ideas on avoiding burnout….you can access it here: Strategies for avoiding burnout.
As many of you know, I had intended to start running live calls last year but between contracting shingles in the summer (with the endless fatigue I experienced afterwards) and then my Dad getting sick towards the end of the year, I simply didn’t have the energy to do it well.
Thankfully, all is now well and I am currently planning live calls for subscribers with the first one in May. It has been a long time incubating for me to create a space for people to gather in community. A place to recuperate from the craziness of the world so we can rebuild the internal resources needed if we wish to make a difference in our own life, the lives of others and the world at large.
Writing the piece on Excellence & The Art Of Meaningful Work this month, I kept returning to the word tend. I have this deep sense we need to tend to ourselves and each other if we wish to tend to the world. To tend to where we are wounded, broken and tired so we can be of better service. It is exhausting to witness the chaos, trauma and absence of care in the world right now. It can be hard to envisage a better version when we are so broken by the current one. If we are to have the strength to help birth the version of the world we want to see, we need to build our resources and revitalise ourselves first. I hope these calls can offer just that for both you and me.
My intention is for each call to be two hours long with a talk, a practice to help us connect and reflect and plenty of time for Q&A and shared discussions. The sessions will mainly be for paid subscribers but to give everyone the opportunity to attend and get a taste of what is to come, the first one will be open to everyone. I will be sending out a more detailed email in the next weeks to explain the format and how to register.
I would love to see you there.
Until next month,
Fiona x
