A Message From Dr. Helen

According to meteorologists, spring started on March 1st. I appreciate that perspective. The clocks are springing forward, and the days are getting warmer and longer. It feels like a good time to focus on what’s possible. A lot has changed in the past year and although much of it has been difficult, we’ve all learned how to do and see certain things differently. As we transition into spring, I hope the wind is at your back and you’re inspired by this opportunity to reset.

Although the topics were familiar to me, my audiences were somewhat different. I’ve been supporting the leadership teams at two churches in addition to private sector and government clients. I have learned a lot while sitting in the hot seat during the Q&A segments of many of these sessions.
