A Blessing, Key Questions and Core Beliefs
 
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
 
Happy September!  I hope you enjoyed a beautiful summer and are readying for the colorful pageantry of autumn.  I love this time of year and the renewal it inspires.  The thrill of standing at the threshold of something new to learn, something fresh to offer, someone new to be, all the result of an unexpected harvest of plans and ideas.  I suppose you can take the kid out of school, but you can’t take school out of the kid. 
 
As often happens in my work, the inspiration to create new material, whether for a workshop, a curriculum, or even an issue of this newsletter, arrives in subtle and sometimes surprising ways. Last year I had the opportunity to develop a four-part webinar entitled The Resilience Series which has just been made available for on-demand viewing.  What I share in the article below is threefold: the event that inspired me to take on such a vital and ambitious theme; what I consider Key Questions at the Heart of Resilience, particularly in the field of Employment and Training; and, the Core Beliefs that, upon reflection, I hold to be true with regard to owning, strengthening, and practicing resilience.  
 
May this article inspire your own reflections on this important topic, as we work to bolster and support the resilience in others.
 
Godspeed,
 
~ Denise
