SUSTENANCE, EVALUATION AND CELEBRATION

''I was told that the best way to handle being a Social Worker was to choose a tree on the way home from work and to stop thinking about work each day when I drove past. This is what a lot of us were told, and still are told. 

I have always found this perplexing, as it does not make sense to me in how this helps any of us to grow into people centred work or navigate it. 

Over the years, and a few rounds of burn out later, I have learned and figured out a bunch of things that have really helped. And so many of them are the pieces that have become The Societe.

The thing is, that each time I have burned out, I have asked myself if this really is for me… and every time, a big fat solid yes has been the response. 

If it hadn’t been, I would likely be a florist by now.

This means that I have had to become much better at navigating what I do. 

Change is successful when it is sustained, and we are sustained as leaders. 

Yes, we can do epic things in the world. 

Yes, yes, yes we can!

And, we can celebrate, learn, grow and we can do better again next time.

This is the final day, day 11 of The Societe. More epic things are coming in this space, just you wait and see <3

Love,
