Lightly exploring a new idea relating to wellbeing & tech and society, with a focus on women & keeping up with the range of social impact topics that capture me. #transformation #manifestationDue to circumstances outside of my control, I left my role in December 2023.— ‘Til now, by no means, did I consider it a wellbeing or professional development break. However, as a result of the arduous & disruptive nature of the break, I was able to start some reflection recently, connecting with what matters most to me. — Notes are a work-in-progress & the middle must still be painted. (January-March, I also had the opportunity to upskill - taking an excellent MIT course on AI & starting a well-being course.)
