Embrace the Sunrise: Finding Your Center for Success As I’ve grown in my career, I’ve discovered that my success is closely tied to how well I prepare for the day and week ahead. I've also learned the importance of being centered—it’s a key factor in managing stress and maintaining balance. Whether you work out, journal, read, pray, or meditate, finding your way to be centered is essential for setting your day up for success. Simple reminders can make all the difference. Consider starting your day with mindful breathing exercises to clear your mind or practicing gratitude to cultivate a positive mindset. Fuel your body with a healthy breakfast, and take a moment to stretch or do a quick yoga routine to invigorate your body and mind. Visualizing your day can also be powerful—imagine yourself confidently handling meetings and achieving your goals. Organize your workspace for a clear and productive environment, and don’t forget to step away from your computer for short breaks to recharge. Positive affirmations or motivating quotes can also serve as a boost to start your day with confidence and optimism. This morning, I walked my dog and witnessed a beautiful sunrise. It was the perfect moment for me to find my center and kickstart my week with positivity and focus.

How Did You Learn About Fundraising and Giving Back? For me, it all started in my childhood. Playing sports meant annual bake sales, selling chocolate bars, and hosting car washes. As a Girl Scout, I sold more cookies than I could count! These experiences pushed me outside my comfort zone—standing in front of grocery stores, asking parents, friends, and family for support. In college, this skill became even more crucial. I remember wanting to travel with the baseball team to the 1986 College World Series. Coach Kindall, set a seemingly impossible challenge: raise $10,000. I’m pretty sure he doubted I could do it, but just a few days later, I proudly told him the funds were secured. Fundraising quickly became a passion, and it’s a profession I've cherished ever since. Just today, I walked up to the local Safeway, where a group of young men from Desert Christian High School approached me with a football team fundraiser. As I saw them huddled together, I wondered who would step up to make the pitch. They did a great job explaining what the funds would be used for, and we even chatted about their plans after high school. I shared with them that fundraising is what I do for a living and that I was proud of them for taking the initiative to support their sport. Of course, I bought the coupon book and asked if we could take a photo together to share their efforts. Good luck to the Desert Christian High School Football Program this year! I’d love to hear your stories. How did you learn about fundraising, and how has it helped you along the way? To review other Chalk Talk with Phoebe Blogs - click https://lnkd.in/g7HuPcqd

Twenty-nine years ago, I became a member of the Key Group, invited by my dear friend and mentor, Lindi Laws. Over the years, this group of women has been an invaluable resource, providing inspiration, support, and professional collaboration across various fields. The friendships I have formed here have lasted a lifetime. From being the youngest member to now being one of the more experienced, I am deeply grateful to all the women, past and present, who have made such a significant impact on my life. I celebrate every one of you. See page 49. https://lnkd.in/gjtA3wGk
