This Week in Talent (3 June)

Note from The Editor

Holy wow how good was the ATC2021 DIGITAL event last week? 3 days of TA goodness, smiling faces, action items and tangible takeaways, dad jokes, and a foul mouthed intruder in Kevin Wheeler’s Fearless Futures session that made me LMAO! All in all, a really great time.

For all the Melbournians reading this – happy Lockdown 4.0. The overwhelming sense of “Ergh” is back (deja vu), and I’m struggling to do simple things like washing, showering, cleaning, exercising etc. I’m learning to embrace the feeling (rather than fight it), and have actually spent the weekend chilling on the couch like a grub. It’s been good! When I think of my ‘circle of control’ – an imposed state-wide lockdown is definitely outside of my circle of control, so I might as well focus on the things I CAN control and work with that instead.

Sending my love to all, and especially those people in Melbs that have been ‘stood down’ from their casual roles during this lockdown without the assistance of JobKeeper. My heart goes out to you!

Keep on keepin’ on, my TA peeps!
