Interviews and Articles
In the summer 2022 edition of Your ED, College President Clare Skinner and Regional Wellbeing Champions, Minnie Seward and Mark Sagarin shared their thoughts on respect.
To me, respect is simple. It means that we treat every single person we encounter with dignity, without judgement, and appreciate and acknowledge the experiences that have shaped them.
Clare Skinner
By respecting each other's skills, knowledge, and limitations – we can create a positive work environment and the most optimal shared outcomes.
Minnie Seward
Without our team working together respectfully, we can’t get much done.
Mark Sagarin
