It’s All About The Why

By Susan

Dear Friends,

Large sigh of relief and big smile for unanticipated outcomes. That pretty much sums it up for me this month. A sigh of relief because we were able to open and you showed up. A huge smile for unanticipated outcomes because we connected together in ways far beyond our expectations.

I was struggling this month to land on a topic for this newsletter and it was suggested that I just let it rest until I read the rest of the newsletter – well, I’m fortunate to work with such a thoughtful team because that worked. You will see it’s all about the Why……

I read the articles on how we connected during July and I relived many of those moments. We gathered, shared stories, met online, struggled through first time technical jitters and then did it all over again. Many times our gatherings on site consisted of just a few people and other times we were joined by hundreds streaming live from their homes. 

Staying connected – while apart. 

And we focused on our WHY. Simon Sinek - "Start with your Why". Our why hasn’t changed – our How and What adapted to the ebbs and flows of societal changes (COVID-19 as an example hard stop) but our why hasn’t changed. We create space for transformational change, individual and collective. It takes a little more effort to do that in hundreds of different rooms but perhaps that makes it even more meaningful. So….

Talk to us, let’s talk to each other, 

Gather with us, let’s gather together,

Grow with us, let’s grow together,

And then, In mind, body and spirit we will move forward and live our WHY.
