Cultivating Calm - Maureen Goodman -Thursday 12th December 2024

Calmness is the Cradle of Power – Attributed to Josiah Gilbert Holland Calmness is not just a trait but a powerful skill, much needed in a world that often feels chaotic and threatening. It is not passivity or indifference but a state of emotional balance and mental clarity. Panic clouds judgement while calmness opens the door to thoughtful responses. How do we cultivate calm? Is it a quality of leadership and does calmness work in everyday situations, including resolving conflict?
