Toaster Moments | indevouring
https://indevouring.wordpress.com/2014/03/17/toaster-moments
Capturing the aha moments. Recently I was found in the kitchen being, well, let’s just say impatient with the toaster. I was found slamming the little lever down, waiting no more than 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi (with my hand overtop to feel the (absence of) heat) before slamming it back up, and repeating. Uttering what some might call threats at said inanimate object and pressing buttons galore. My partnered entered and quizzically inquired What did the toaster do to you? Do you think if might heat up?

Fearless Leadering | indevouring
https://indevouring.wordpress.com/2014/03/12/fearless-leadering
Capturing the aha moments. There are many things INDEVOURS has taught me to date. The biggest, however, is a profoundly altered understanding of what it means to not just be a leader – but a fearless leader. What I’ve learned, thought, is that while this personality type and leadership trait has its merits for example, it makes me good at communications it doesn’t always make me a good leader. At least not in the INDEVOURS sense. March 12, 2014. Toaster Moments →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Follow indev...

Patience | indevouring
https://indevouring.wordpress.com/2014/04/11/patience
Capturing the aha moments. The capacity, habit, or fact of being patient. I struggle with it. In fact that’s an understatement. From driving to waiting in line to pretty much everything, I always have to stop being the “bulldog”, the “bull in the china shop” the whatever analogy you’d like to use. It’s a hard one for me. But, each and every term my INDEVOURS teach me patience – and not in the way you are thinking. April 11, 2014. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. I’m on Facebook. Follo...

to look ahead, we must look back | indevouring
https://indevouring.wordpress.com/2014/01/24/to-look-ahead-we-must-look-back
Capturing the aha moments. To look ahead, we must look back. It’s hard to believe that the 2013/14 academic year marks the fourth cohort of INDEVOURS. And to remember that it all started as a class project. It’s been a ride…to say the least. In four years, I’m pretty much 100% certain that my students – third/fourth year International Development students – have taught me more than I could have ever imagined. 1) perseverance – I’ve never seen so many people push through so many obstacles. They’ve a...

https://indevouring.wordpress.com/2014/04
Capturing the aha moments. My life has a soundtrack. For every moment there’s my internal DJ finding the right music to go along. And I know it seems ridiculous and ages me and is even somewhat expected and corny, but today’s track is courtesy of David Bowie. It sounds clichéd and young and perhaps tacky but being a part of this whole process is just so cool and fantabulous andwellI lack the words and analogies to explain it. For once I am speechless. Through INDEVOURS I’m in what appears to be a...I str...

INDEVOURING: a new introduction | indevouring
https://indevouring.wordpress.com/indevouring
Capturing the aha moments. INDEVOURING: a new introduction. With 2015 comes a new cohort of #INDEVOURS…my fifth to be exact. Like at the start of all things familiar yet new, I’m excited and nervous and full of anticipation. Where will this new group of students go – in the class, while on placement and beyond? What will they teach me? What impact will I have on them? I may have hopes and plans – but the answers to all of these are unknown. Encourage, empower, equip. To all my #INDEVOURS – past, pr...

Safety Scissors | indevouring
https://indevouring.wordpress.com/2014/03/25/safety-scissors
Capturing the aha moments. I remember the frustration I felt when entering kindergarten I was provided with the stub-nosed, dull safety scissors. I was upset because I was raised in a home where we used (shock and horror) real scissors with the lesson to be respectful of them because they, like knives (which we also used I know, my family were rule-breakers) were sharp and their misuse could have some serious repercussions. I like to get things done (don’t tell me you already forget the toaster post.
