CAREER TALK WITH BEA (NICHOL) MACKAY '62

By Lucy MacDougall, Grade 8

On February 9, Dr. Bea (Nichol) MacKay '62 visited Balmoral Hall to discuss her career with us. She has a Ph.D. in Psychology and works as a counsellor. With her, we participated in conflict resolution. We each choose a problem in our own lives, such as, "I really want to do well on a math test, but I do not think I can." We then had a conversation with ourselves to come up with solutions.

Dr. MacKay has two sons, and she revealed that they have influenced her life. She really likes her job, because she sees how the people she works with change and become happier. Dr. MacKay also talked about self-esteem as a byproduct of how we handle ourselves. She told us that it is how we think that really matters. Currently, Dr. MacKay is starting to work as a sports psychologist, and she is working on her second book.
