The current pandemic has impacted communities, organizations, and nearly every household causing uncertainty around the economy, jobs, health, childcare, and more. Like our Notre Dame Class of 2020, individuals of all ages and from all walks of life are experiencing a period of transition. During this time, many may be engaging in personal discovery and discernment.

The Inspired Leadership Initiative at Notre Dame regularly brings guest speakers to campus to share life experiences and strategies on how to successfully forge a path to new beginnings. This week’s ThinkND Digest shares three videos with stories, frameworks, and perspectives that will enlighten and inspire you as you continue your journey to be a force for good in your community and beyond.
