A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of being back at SARRCon (Southern Alberta Regional Recovery Conference) this time not as a keynote speaker, but as the emcee and host…and WOW what a room!
Our Collective Journey brought together leaders from across the mental health, addiction, recovery and resiliency space - support workers, psychologists, coaches, community leaders and organizations - all under one roof for two full days of learning, collaboration, and connection.
Real people, real stories, real work, and real impact!
One of the highlights for me was not just watching Dr. Jody Carrington speak live, but having the privilege of sitting down with her on stage afterward for a live interview.
She literally owned the room for her keynote, but more than that, she made people feel seen, heard and understood.
The room was full of passionate and heart-centred leaders who spend their lives holding it all together for others, and you could feel the shift when she reminded everyone: “You don’t have to get it right all the time.”
At that moment, I looked at the audience and saw heads nodding, shoulders dropping, and you could hear a quiet collective exhale from the group...
.. because that’s the work. Remembering that the people holding space for others…yeah, they need space too.
We talk a lot about performance and productivity, but none of that works if we’re running on empty. There’s a difference between trying to get the most out of your day…and getting the best out of yourself within your day.
Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do as a leader is pause, breathe, and take care of the system that’s doing all the work.
