Thank you, @Yolande_MT. I've learned a gentler yet effective approach to leadership and management through your example. (I don't want to 😭 so I'll stop here... ) I've appreciated this experience with @Mind_Tools. #MTtalk
' @SoniaH_MT was here as a participant in the very first #MTtalk - and now as a team member today. Thanks for being the admin and organizing whizz you are, Sonia - you are SO hands-on. Thanks for helping me when I dropped the "admin" ball and for creating our graphics - you rock.

I desire to leave a legacy of positive impact, having made a meaningful difference in the lives of others or the world around me. This could involve contributions to society, such as advancing knowledge & ethics, promoting justice, or preserving the environment.

You all have helped make the #MTtalk story a successful one. Thank you.

With legacy thinking, you "start with the end in mind." You identify the long-term impact that you'd like to make, and then assess the changes that you need to put into place to reach that point. mindtools.com/a3axrm1/what-i…

Certainly sharing stories to process grief is a healthy thing to do. When someone would rather avoid any mention or story about the person who has passed, it is not the greatest thing for processing the grief. #MTtalk
A9 Stories keep those I've lost and experiences past alive in my head and heart. Story is essential to celebration and to surviving grief. #MTtalk

A8) The most important element of my (hi)story with this #MTtalk chat is embracing that I will learn something while hopefully sharing some of my knowledge with others.

Love that idea of a 'storycoaxer'. I recently was doing some coaching with students helping them with developing their personal pitch and it was all about storytelling! It was a great experience to help them recognize the value in the stories they could share. #MTtalk
A7 I sometimes refer to myself as a storycoaxer. I love being present for people who have a story to share, encouraging them, honoring them, helping them to feel safe and comfortable with sharing, letting them know that they and their story matter! #MTtalk
