Redefining well-being and leadership by presence during the pandemic
A fulfilling aspect of serving as a School Support and Evaluation Officer (SSEO) is the opportunity to interact with leaders in international education worldwide. I get the opportunity to ‘pick the brain’, (ever-so-gently through a critical friend approach) of thought leaders, movers and shakers in the field of international education. It always leaves me in awe. The extent of commitment and endurance that they showcase to ensure our community of learners’ ongoing learning and well-being is incredible. Navigating the pandemic has substantiated my deep sense of respect for our leadership community in redefining leadership approaches in unimaginable ways, more by necessity than choice.
