job well done

 Some self congratulations are due I think, after my week of beating myself up. 

This can stay right here, for no one else to see

1. I have a super duper fantastic team. I would like to do something for them 

2. almost each of the events I was personally involved in organsing were a hit this year, most recently the  Full SBB fireside chats, Literature Dialouge Sessions and the e-dialogue on education with panel of experts. 

Under my leadership team has done well. I've been open to feedback and suggestions and totally abandoned earlier ideas of sharing checklists based on principles, and getting them to think alouds which is more like a pet project for me . 

I'm excited about how I moderated that particular dialogue among three panelists. It was my first time moderating a dialogue like that - last time I did that was launch of syllabus, where I was very much expert. 

This time I did it in areas I am not expert in, and what JJ says all the time comes through - best for a facilitator not to be too expert in the areas we are faciltiting - so my questions are genuine. and I had to practice active listening like anything even as I multi-task, listen to instructions on whatssapp chat, direct things on the whatssapp too, study the chat, see what new qn there are  - felt qute amazing. 

so well done Meena 

of course a million things are pending, but let's talk about what I have done ! 

now back to work
