IN THIS LESSON

Working towards social change can create a strong sense of purpose, but values-oriented work can also place significant demands on the people leading it.

In this Expert Reflection, Dr. Sharon Attipoe-Dorcoo shares how she thinks about self-care as part of sustainable leadership. She reflects on staying connected to lived experience and personal values while also recognising the importance of boundaries and practices that make it possible to sustain the work over time.

As you watch, consider:

  • What does sustainable leadership mean to you personally?

  • Where might you need clearer boundaries to sustain your work over time?

  • How can you remain connected to your values without neglecting your own wellbeing?
