In a lovely spring day, in a kingdom garden 😊 the crocuses opened up to the sun. #speirgorm #springishere

In fast paced days it's easy to get caught up in the endless to-do lists, back-to-back meeting, drop ins' and mini-crises. But the most powerful thing we can do is to slow down even though it feels counter intuitive. Festina Lente as I was recently reminded on LinkedIn 💖

Had such a great #PDSL session with Dr. Mary Nihill from Oide, who shared her teacher and leadership expertise with over 440 attendees. Blown away with how seamlessly Mary could speak to leadership from school, system wide, community, policy and academic lenses. Absolutely Brilliant!!

So many teachers, SNAs, & school leaders doing amazing work to help young people navigate trauma at the #nurture conference in Killiney Dublin this week. Cannot speak highly enough of their work. Really appreciated the opportunity to join. Definitely needs resourcing!! #careineducation
