If you’ve ever bought into the whole “but I’m just one person, what can I possibly do to make a difference” then this one is for you! Esther powerfully shows us what one person can do in a world of systems, hierarchy and power dynamics. She illuminates hot topics in mental health, neurodiversity, education, community, sustainability, courageous communication and so much more. What a treat, you guys. Listen up! : : : How can deepening my own sense of self-agency make me an impactful change-maker? How do I find a balance between focusing on the greater good and taking care of my Self? Is there a way to be more comfortable in the discomfort when it comes to hard or vulnerable conversations? ---> Our Invitation to YOU = Truly, fully listen to understand. Next time you’re in a conversation, what would it feel like to be so fully present with the other person, their words, their energy, their facial expressions, everything, so much so that you don’t actually think about your reply until after they’ve fully completed what they are saying? No interruptions or interjections, only your simple and profoundly powerful presence. Try this one and see what difference it makes in your relationships and interactions with others. : : : Esther has spent 20 years living in Queenstown and NZ (originally from the UK), building and driving change across the education sector and community sector.
