Podcast: The Wayfinder
February 6, 2025
What does it mean to be your best adult self at work? Abril connects with Jennifer Abrams, a communications consultant who supports educators, health care personnel, and others on new employee support, being generationally savvy, effective collaboration skills, having hard conversations, and creating identity-safe workplaces. Their conversation centers the concept of lifelong growth and how this is used as a guiding principle in developmentally-minded organizations like NESA. In practical terms, what does prioritizing adult development look like? How important is it for us to look deeply at ourselves? Join Abril and Jennifer as they explore what it means to curl up to our learning edges in the workplace – and beyond.

Praise for Jennifer
“Jennifer is one of the most actively engaged thought partners we have ever had the pleasure to work with: she asked all the right questions before and during the visit to tailor her work to our school context. During her three days on site, she skillfully guided our middle and senior leadership through structures for having hard conversations with an engaging presence that made time fly. We have already been well-equipped to use Jennifer’s practical strategies until she returns in the spring to continue the work.”
