First paid in-person school visit since 3/12/20

If you'd told me after my Ohio school visit on March 12, 2020 (and after I'd spoken at schools for nearly 20 years) that the next time I'd step foot in a school would be December 9, 2021...

Technically, I have thus far done two other in-person school visits during the pandemic, both pro bono: one indoors at my daughter's school, one outdoors (and part of the #KidsNeedMentors program). And I've done plenty of virtual visits. 

But today's was the first paid, indoors visit. It was a most welcome return to form, with masks (and a souped-up PowerPoint). 

Thank you, Tatnall School in Wilmington, DE!

School visit in an underpass

I feel so fortunate that my job has enabled me to travel to a dozen countries to speak, yet after the past 18 months, I already look back at this as equally memorable: presenting at a school 25 minutes away...outdoors...in an underpass. (Or is that a breezeway?)
