At one point these past months I thought of
closing down this blog. I wondered if it had fulfilled its purpose and it is
now time to move on. That happens with blogs and writers. Things change. It’s
not a bad thing or even sad. It just is.
However, I have had a sense that there is much
that is still unwritten; still unsaid.
Two weeks ago I attended the Chair Academy. The
focus of the Academy is to develop leadership skills for college and university
leaders. It was a week of professional development and personal reflection. One
of the daily tasks during this week-long session was to write down goals that I
want to achieve over the next year.
Over the next year I will work with a mentor. I
will develop a curriculum and map out a plan to help me meet my professional
leadership goals. While trying to articulate and compile my goals, it struck me
that what I work on for professional development will also spill over into my
personal development. So I will keep this blog going, and you may see some new
material as I share insights into what I am learning.
Stay tuned.
