In this episode Amanda (Inquiry Creative Communication Officer) is joined by Deborah Menezes (Inquiry Co-Lead) and Catherine-Rose Stocks-Rankin [or CR for short] (Inquiry Co-Chair). We explore together the practice of reflection.  This mindfulness exercise has helped us to surface things and bring our authentic selves into the work. 

Deborah shares: “reflective practice is an opportunity for me to pause, and to breath.”
