First Live Q&A

Last night, I hosted the very first live Q&A inside the Navigating Neva community with Selena Willows, and it turned into exactly the kind of conversation I hoped this community would create.

There was no script. No presentation. No recording.

Just aquatic professionals having the conversations we do not usually have—the emotional side of teaching, self-regulation, supporting students through fear, navigating difficult moments, sharing experiences, and learning from one another.

The best part was that no one person had to have all the answers. Everyone brought a different perspective, and together we talked through the real-life situations that rarely make it into certification courses or training manuals.

Selena enjoyed the conversation so much that afterward, she agreed to come back and do another live Q&A. We are already looking at making these a regular part of the Navigating Neva community.

These are the conversations that help us become better instructors, stronger leaders, and more thoughtful aquatic professionals.

Sometimes the most valuable learning happens when the cameras are off.
