Virtual Coffee
Presentation Date: Dec 1, 2020
Presenter Website: N/A
Description: Since HIREDTexas moved to Zoom meetings in early 2020, we have had great presentations providing lots of insight into what is going on around us. We have been missing time to talk to each other and the mutual support and shared learning that happened when we were together before and after meetings at Grace and at lunches and outings together.
We can find some of that mutual support interacting together online at this week's meeting. The format is what is called a "lean coffee", with cream (liberating structures) and sugar (ripples) to bring us together so we can share our experience and learn from each other.
Come listen and be heard as we begin wrapping up the year that shall not be named and work on choosing our best path in 2021.
"Life is far too short to follow the wrong path. And today is always a great day to start finding the right one." --The lesson of "The Offer"
