The Power of Passion: How to Re-ignite your Career and Purpose
As with all careers, there are many changes that affect us and new challenges that can distract from our original excitement and enthusiasm for our work. Our work has a greater purpose and meaning in the lives of the children and parents we touch daily. And like all careers there can be burn out and creative / emotional fatigue. This is all about you and revitalizing and renewing your passion for your career.

When things are said, feelings are hurt, and healing isn’t optional supervisors and managers must take on the pivotal role of mending fences and building bridges. But
where to start? And what questions must be asked and answered before, during and after an issue or incident. Rebuilding trust and working through anger means being skilled and patient, firm and understanding and above all… caring enough for wounded
parties to heal and move on.
