Calm Be with You Megumi Miki

Megumi Miki started her Calm in Chaos series on 20 th March 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic started to impact all of us in Australia and around the world. Calm in Chaos is a virtual learning group which intends to “spread calm (rather than the virus or panic)”. In each session, Megumi creates space to step back, access calm and resourcefulness and learn from various guests. Topics have ranged from communication in anxious times, gratitude, optimism, job searching, financial uncertainty, mental health, relaxation/ meditation, systems thinking, building networks with LinkedIn, productivity, managing transitions, dealing with uncertainty, conflict/ difficult conversations on Zoom and accessing happiness and high performance and more. The sessions and recordings are set up as ‘pay if you can and found it valuable’. Everyone is welcome to watch and join the sessions for free if you cannot pay, given current circumstances.

Megumi helps organisations challenge the status quo, exceed their goals and keep learning by unlocking potential in the culture, leadership and individuals. Give yourself the time to pause, step back and access your inner calm and creativity.

We hope to feature a story on Megumi in a forthcoming issue of The Graduate Union Newsletter to learn more about her graduate pathway and Calm in Chaos. * * * Megumi also started the Quietly Powerful movement (https://www.quietlypowerful. com.au/) and has published a book on Quietly Powerful (https://www.quietlypowerful.com.au/ book/).
