Alumni Reflections on empathy and self-care
Today we feature personal reflections of multiple MOR alums, woven together around a common topic of empathy and self-care.
Leading and Caring Under Pressure
The Queen song, Under Pressure popped in my head and made me smile. And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night, And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves... this is our last dance this is ourselves under pressure. Doesn’t this ring true, especially at this moment in time?
Mental Health
The harsh reality is that personal and professional growth can be very painful. One begins to realize that laced in all the undercurrents of “fake it till you make it”, the imposter syndrome, and the art of improv is the common understanding that everyone is going through some kind of sizable internal strife to push forward.
Personal growth and giving yourself credit
Now, I’m finding myself asking “Self? What if I stopped waiting for others to unstick me?” “What if I focused on me, how will that impact myself and others?” “What if I start chasing, rather than waiting for something to fall in my lap?”
2020 Commencement Thoughts
The world must expect this class of graduates, and by inference all of us, to step up to the challenges and address the real issues of our time.
Supporting Leaders at this Time
At MOR we believe Black lives matter. We need leaders who can help us through these painful and challenging times.
Emotional Intelligence, Strategic Thinking, and Layoffs
Emotional Intelligence and Strategic Thinking are the essences of getting the "Right Things Done." They apply in spades in layoff situations.
