Hey friends,
So I have to be brutally honest with you...my healing is not going as expected after the ACL/meniscus surgery that I had on May 29th. I wound up in the hospital as some of you know and the surgery provoked a DVT, which has led to a myriad of other complications.
This is not a message to say I'm giving up on this space. But I am having to be very honest with myself about my time boundaries and protecting them.
So far, it has been a challenge to generate engagement/feedback from people and that makes it challenging to create/develop this community in a way that fits your needs. Save for a few engaged members, I often feel like I'm shouting into the void. I truly believe we all could benefit so much from the support and connection of this space, so I'm wanting to get curious about what might be stopping us and put on my detective hat to see if we can sleuth it out. But--just like coaching--it only works if ya'll meet me half-way.
Because right now, my health can't afford for me to be giving my time and energy to the things people DON'T want/need.
So, I would like you all to consider:
- Would you like this community to continue and (if so) what would you personally need to encourage weekly/daily engagement?
- What were your initial reasons for joining? What were you hoping to get out of the Queer Career Reinvention Lab free community?
You can feel free to send these responses in a DM or we can start a conversation in the comments. After a decade of teaching in higher ed, I know one cannot improve unless they are willing to hear and learn from constructive criticism. This community is only a little over a month old, so ya'll are joining me in the building blocks stage and NOW is the time to practice speaking our needs and put your own building block into the foundation.
I'm attaching one of the tips I recorded while I was in the hospital. Just remember, while overcoming powerlessness, it helps to use your limited energy wisely.
