Did you miss the live Town Hall Meeting event?  A recording is available at the end of this news article.  As we held the meeting as a MS Teams Meeting and not a Live Meeting we are unable to provide transcripts in other languages.

Reuse, recycle, reinforce. 

 

These words echoed during this town hall meeting where Dennis and Jane came head-to-head in an open dialogue to discuss different communication topics and platforms. It was a moment to reflect on how we communicate while considering how we collaborate, celebrate and unite, or as Dennis puts it, our “togetherness”.

The subject of togetherness leads to Dennis’s “moments of inspiration”. He stated that “it is a basic human need to be together and important for our mental health”.

 

 

 

What is Dennis reading?

His current read takes him on a “conscious and contrary” journey where he picks up books that he would not necessarily read. He says, “try new things, expose yourself and feed your curiosity”. Doing so pushes him out of his comfort zone and is something he recommends that everybody do in different ways.

Dennis is reading Quantum: Einstein, Bohr, and the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality. To learn more about the greatest intellectual debate of the 20th century, click on the link here.
