Despite some dated current event mentions, this video of John Abrams, who is a big inspiration for our co-op conversion, is spot-on about doing business in ways that are more sustainable for our families, our communities, and our planet. This is a nice summary of the concepts in his book, Companies We Keep https://lnkd.in/gciCy_jQ

How long does it take to deliver a great 1 hour keynote??? 60 minutes? 2 years? A lifetime of learning? So excited to head to Kelowna today for the Advocis Pacific School with Advocis Greater Vancouver this week to talk about how Giving is becoming the new benchmark in business. I owe so much of the impact that this is going to bring, to Randy Molland and the GoBigToGiveBig community! "Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously" 2 Corinthians 9:6. Practice, practice, practice... deliver.

What are the Educational, Health, or Economic Benefits to these Players and their Families for that kids uncompensated participation in any additional “NON-SCHOLARSHIP” private third-party postseason football games that pay the Universities and the Conferences for the use of their free labor to put on these highly profitable Bowl events. The answer is ZERO! These additional 1-5 POSTSEASON games are also above the Players’ 12 game athletic scholarship agreement? Our Proposal offers Major Benefits in all three Categories to the Players and their Families! Scholarship Football Players are owed Hundreds of Millions of dollars from this year’s Media contract that uses these Players’ Name, Image, and Likeness NIL without any equitable financial consideration to the Players or their Families! This lost Money could have a major impact on these Players lives, the lives of their current and future family members for generations? We do not support, or agree with the House vs NCAA Settlement or the current covert attempts to extend and expand this Antitrust exploitation of our young (mostly minority) FB & BB Players' labor that the US Supreme Court and Federal District Court have recently struck down as illegal and implausible.

"The questions I had in the beginning about Family Group Conference; Will families come, will they make plans, will the plans be safe? Are not really interesting questions now. Because the answer to those questions is YES, they will come, they will make plans, they will be safe. The more interesting questions for me are how do you make family group conferences work in an orthodoxy and in a system which is built on different ideas and different beliefs?" Rediscovering this Classic film discussing FGC, with fluent insights from Paul Nixon very applicable to the current times , working with Family Group Conference in UK local authorities "What we're trying to do here is to bring together the knowledge and the skills, the families in collaboration with the knowledge, skills, and resources of professionals... And actually when you start to look broadly in families, you will find strengths and knowledge and skills and resources. So I think it's important in this FGC discussion to, to say that we're not trying to diminish the role of professionals. We're just trying to reshape the role of professionals. And I think that's a challenge for us because it's something we're not used to." Just excitedly sharing with Kar-Man and our networks early this morning 💡 #CloserToPeople #TrustBridges #ConnectionOverDistance #FamilyGroupConference

It’s a terrific, take it to the top Tuesday to talk about what’s above the fold! If you remember when newspapers hit your doorstep the major headline would always appear above the fold. Today’s headline: Rockstars Illuminate our Industry! Here in Columbia South Carolina we are celebrating Hall of Fame Honorees: Victoria Cowart of Pet Screening and Chris Carter of Carter-Haston Real Estate. Maria Spencer, Director of Federal Legislative Affairs for NAA is emphasizing the importance of our PAC participation. Mark Cukro, of Plus One Consulting is reminding us that 8.8 million skilled workers are in demand. Russ Webb is sharing what’s on the horizon with Artificial Intelligence. Check out Pendant! The icing on the cake was watching Lyla Scott and Mike Holmes speak from the heart about Chris and Victoria. There’s absolutely nothing that compares to celebrating the success of people who have made an IMPACT in your life. (By the way, that was the topic of my keynote) With sold-out attendance, more than 40 of our industry’s most passionate presenters had the opportunity to teach, inspire, engage, and elevate an eager audience. As the opening keynote speaker, I quickly identified some new “baby birds” to add to our flock of winners. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it! Choose wisely. Take time this Tuesday and every day that ends in “y” to examine your “why.”

Introduced to me by Juan Kingsbury, Yemi Penn (Nee Solanke) is one of the more fascinating people I’ve meet recently. Based in Australia, Yemi is a curious rebel, original thinker, and beautiful soul. I love the line from her bio: “An engineer by profession, an entrepreneur by passion, a transformation thought leader by mission.” Like many guests, we could have covered a lot of topics but settled on the concept of “Rebellious Curiosity”. We both answered the following: - How did curiosity get you in trouble as a kid? - How do you re-kindle curiosity as an adult? - What's the relationship between curiosity and engineering?
