In the spring of this year (2021), Linda Abbit was keynote speaker at our annual conference, The Aging Project. The theme and title of the conference was, “Conscious Caregiving in a Time of Isolation,” and was offered to both professional and family as a time for honoring their work and exploring new caregiving and self-care skills. Ms. Abbit’s presentation accomplished both goals knowledgeably and warmly.
Linda Abbit is a delightful speaker, easily relatable with many personal stories and experiences that give context and a uniquely compassionate point of view to important principles that we, as caregivers, often find easy to ignore… I confess I have Linda’s PowerPoint on my desktop still, and her book – The Conscious Caregiver – on my shelf. We will definitely be asking her back.
