Chaplain's Corner 2024

Food for Thought

In this AI-disrupted work era, the corporate ladder is a thing of the past and traditional career planning is gone with it. It's now better to operate from a set of adaptable professional development principles than to expect a linear career progression with increasing seniority and salary.

Periodically reflecting on questions such as "What do I enjoy doing?", "What am I good at?", "What are my values?" and "What gives me a sense of purpose?" — then seeking opportunities that meet those needs — will help people continually adapt to the new, fluid reality and enjoy fulfilling careers with meaningful work. It certainly beats having a rigid 5-year plan for chasing a job that may no longer exist by the time they get there.

Inspiring Quote"Be really honest with yourself about what you do and don't value and what you want in your life. Your career choices should clearly help you achieve the things you want and avoid the things you don't. They need to allow you to celebrate your values, not compromise them." — Tom Hampson MD

Breakfast Club Monday and Wednesday 8.00-8.30 come and have a chat and grab pancakes or a chessy and milo. It's a great place to make new friends. 

Boys club is going well, we made choc chip cookies on Monday and had a talk about leadership.

This week with the year 1 and 2 I helped out with teaching how to make chocolate  muffins.
