The contents of this document are a compilation of some relevant information to be viewed and experienced individually, in learning environments (personal, academic and co-curricular) and to establish a library of dynamics works of resource. As always, should you have any questions or want to collaborate (within your areas of leadership) on anything, please do not hesitate to reach out. This information is in no way exhaustive… WHAT TO CONSIDER

New Normal (NN) vs New Reality (NR) New Normal: Is a kin to, putting lip stick on a pig. NN has us focusing on quickly getting back to the way things were…using best practices, staying with traditionalism and conventionalism without a challenge to conventional wisdom or methodology…a return to current state. New Reality: Supplants us intentionally in change and next practice orientations. NR aligns us with future state…the opportunity to, “cash out the old and ring in the new”. NR supports challenging conventionalism and methodology, leading to transformative purpose and impact for the ultimate goal: The Human Condition. THINK ABOUT THIS
