OUR MISSION A global community that connects diverse people, ideas and resources, AAIE helps international educators lead with vision, wisdom, courage and integrity. F3 Friday's Five Ideas for the Future ![]() Leading in Uncertain Times September 11, 2020
Welcome to this week's Friday Five (F3). Today we are reminded of the exact moment we learned about the attack on the World Trade Center. It will forever be a story we relive in our memories and one we continue to recount to friends and family. As we look back now, it feels far away and as we tell these stories, they become more and more abstract in our minds - and yet this shared experience continues to connect us all. Right now we are all living through another life altering moment. From the inside, it can often feel like an endless cycle of new and unexpected challenges, but we will emerge from this crisis and in time we will begin to tell stories from a distance and with perspective. With this in mind, I encourage you to sit down and write a letter to your future self. Write about what you have learned - what you have discovered you want to do away with and what you want to keep - and most importantly, what we need to change. One day you will read these words and be reminded of all you learned during this crisis, and perhaps the story you will tell will be: “and this was the moment we all realized it was time to change, and so we did.”
We will continue to send the weekly F3 Newsletter and will also extend the conversation in LinkedIn. Please join us and share articles and ideas with us as we learn from each other globally.
