We explored how to strengthen resilience; how to create successful virtual communication; leading in times of crisis; holding on to our personal values; managing blind spots; and dealing with isolation &#8211; just to mention a few. Most importantly, we talked about the importance of checking in on each other from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>We were also privileged to have a peek into the participant\u2019s other world. You know,\u00a0 the roles that makes them SUPER!\u00a0 We got to see Dads braid their daughter\u2019s hair, clean up spills and provide snacks to their little ones. We heard Moms directing home improvement projects and where to put the new microwave. Every once in a while a little face would appear in the corner of the monitor, trying to see where all the commotion was about. Carrying out these responsibilities while focusing, engaging and sharing their workplace successes and challenges in a 8-16 hour span of training! That gives the definition of multi-tasking a whole new meaning!<\/p>\n<p>Our public servants are \u201cgetting it done,\u201d \u201cmoving and shaking,\u201d helping our brothers and sisters all over the world during these very unpredictable and stressful times.\u00a0 LMJA is so honored to be a part of their story; to support our customers in any way we can. Whether it be \u2018staying after class\u2019 to provide guidance on a pressing career decision or helping to create ideas for \u2018fun food\u2019 for their kids, we are here for our customers. We hope to return to some level of normalcy soon.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, be MINDFUL of your team mates and loved ones and most importantly, BE MINDFUL OF YOU! We are all in this together.<\/p>\n<p>Be safe.<\/p>\n<p>Leah Payton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week was indeed a privilege for us as we continue to facilitate a variety of\u00a0 leadership development opportunities for our customers.\u00a0 Enlightening discussions were had around managing the challenges, stress and anxiety this pandemic has created.
