Hosted by Jim Sheehan, director of SHEP, the session delved into the seldom-discussed themes of humility and resilience within professional practice. Jim highlighted the importance of humble service in frontline roles and encouraged challenging systemic powers and advocating for necessary changes. This perspective is crucial, he noted, for deepening the understanding of one’s daily professional interactions.
