**💡 Execution: Turning Plans into Action 💡**  One of the most inspiring reflections from our **10 Driving Values** comes from Rogelio L., who shared his personal journey with **Execution**: *"It used to be that starting something was a big thing for me; I have started a lot of projects but failed to complete them. Now, I’m taking steps toward a very important time in my life, not only to change my views but also my character. Execution, to me, is about taking the most valuable actions, creating ideas, and having the passion to complete them."* Rogelio’s transformation is a powerful reminder: **We can plan all we want, but without action and willpower, those plans remain just ideas.** Execution is what separates a dream from reality—and that’s exactly what our **TECH4Transformation Matching Campaign** is about. We’re not just building ideas; we’re creating change by providing the tools and technology that help people turn their vision into action. **What does Execution mean to you?** 🔹 Planning   🔹 Action   🔹 Willpower   🔹 Results Vote below and join us in supporting transformation through action.

**💡 Integrity: The Foundation for Transformation 💡**  One of my favorite entries from PEP’s 10 Driving Values is from Sam K., who wrote about **Integrity**:  *"Integrity means people have values, hold themselves to a standard, and keep that standard no matter what. It’s doing the right thing when no one is watching. Integrity and honesty are things I hold close because they show the real you."*  This value resonates deeply, not only with personal growth but also with our **TECH4Transformation Matching Campaign**. Just as integrity shapes individuals into the best versions of themselves, **technology empowers our participants** to stay true to their transformation journey—no shortcuts, no compromises.  By investing in tools like **E-School training, Leadership Academy resources, and specialized tablets**, we ensure these men have everything they need to become responsible, present fathers and leaders—no matter the challenges ahead.  ⚡ **With every donation we get closer to our $125,000 goal. When you support this campaign, you're not just funding tech—you’re building **trust, honesty, and futures** rooted in integrity.  👉 **Join us in transforming lives and shaping futures**: www.pep.org | Double your impact today with a matching donation!  #Tech4Transformation #IntegrityMatters #SecondChances #FundOurFuture #DrivingValues

Our **TECH4Transformation Matching Campaign** is about more than reaching a $125,000 goal. It’s about transforming lives—one dollar, one father, one family at a time. Every contribution fuels revolutionary tools for E-School, Leadership Academy resources, and specialized tablets.  But let’s talk about what truly drives this transformation: **Family.**  **Why Fatherhood Matters**  👨👧 **Present, Responsible Fathers**: Our Family Team helps participants grow into the best versions of themselves—not just for their sake, but for their children.   💔 **Healing and Reuniting Families**: We equip fathers to rebuild relationships with their children, healing past wounds and building stronger futures.   ✨ **Children as Motivators**: For many participants, reconnecting with their children is the spark that drives their transformation.  📸 **Check out our family moments**—every smile captured reflects not just a milestone, but a step closer to healing relationships and building a brighter future.  When you support PEP, you’re not just investing in tech—you’re changing the trajectory of families, helping fathers become the role models their children need and deserve.  ⚡ **Double your impact today** with our matching campaign. Together, we can transform lives—and generations to come.  👉 **Let’s connect and explore how your support can change the future**: www.pep.org  #Tech4Transformation #FundOurFuture #FatherhoodMatters #ReunitingFamilies #EschoolGraduation

At PEP, when we say “annual company retreat,” we mean it! Yesterday, we gathered for our company's annual retreat where the real star of the show was… Jason’s famous gumbo!  🥘 The gumbo was so good that during Trivial Pursuit, I swear it gave Team Alligators an extra brain cell to dominate the competition. Forget PowerPoints and icebreakers—our secret to team bonding is a bowl of gumbo greatness! Rumor has it, Jason’s gumbo was so inspiring that a few business ideas popped up over dinner. We’re convinced it has some kind of power—bringing us together one spoonful at a time. Who needs fancy retreats when your team eats like family and has gumbo that deserves its own LinkedIn profile? #CompanyRetreat #GumboGoals #PEPLife #TeamBondingDoneRight #JasonShouldStartACateringBusiness

At the Prison Entrepreneurship Program’s Business Plan Competition, it's clear that *Fun* is not just a value—it’s a way of life! These rockstars in the photo are clearly redefining “business casual” with a hefty side of "silly."Forget “Work Hard, Play Hard”—this crew is more like “Work Hard, Win a Fun Award!” 🏆🎉 Whether it’s the power pose that says "I mean business, but I’m here to party," or the classic “rabbit ears” move that hasn’t gone out of style since second grade, they are living proof that work should come with a belly laugh or two. Seriously, when’s the last time your boss stuck out his tongue and gave two thumbs up to celebrate hitting those KPIs? These are the kind of people who take spreadsheets as seriously as they take planning their next group prank. At PEP, we’re not just building businesses—we’re building friendships, creativity, and a culture where achievements are met with goofy faces and celebration. So, business leaders, why not join the fun? Become a volunteer and make a difference while you’re at it! 🎯https://lnkd.in/guVZnm9t
