honoring the past is an amazing platform to step into a sustainable future connecting to the values that matter most what makes life worth living today. in reflecting on how the Brooklyn Museum honors the Lenape and how Colgate honored the Oneida nation i contemplate how i am honoring the lands where i’ve lived, the deep history, under my feet as i walk today, the pride and enduring history of prior people, the Caribs and Arawaks of Jamaica. we’re not the first on these lands, we too will be history to some future state, and if we are kind to each other, and the Earth all around, we might leave something meaningful for future peoples. in your work on projects, to get to Q4 goals, as you work with those on your team, your leaders and clients, how are you creating an enduring legacy today? what artifacts will they find on which you left your mark?

Join The Pacific Institute's Winner's Circle Network: https://lnkd.in/edPEwf6G Here's this week's message! Power Comes from Within Power can be perceived negatively, leading to abuses and undesirable impacts on our lives. However, there are also positive uses of power. People often believe that power means having control or loss of control, but it is actually about having the power to act, influence, cause, create, and do. Power is not an external force, but rather an internal one, derived from feeling accountable and authority for one's life. It comes from a strong, vital, and respectful connection to others, including family, friends, and community. This personal power benefits both the individual and others, and if used correctly, it benefits others more. To understand personal power, one should ask themselves if they feel powerful and why. If they do, then the next question becomes, "How do I use my power?" Each answer reveals a facet of our personalities and souls. By recognizing and utilizing personal power, we can empower ourselves and others in our lives.

Join The Pacific Institute's Winner's Circle Network: https://lnkd.in/edPEwf6G Here's this week's message! The Value in Being Responsible Responsibility is a crucial aspect of life that goes hand in hand with confidence and the feeling of being in control of one's own life. It involves making rational or moral decisions on one's own, being answerable to others for their behavior, and being trustworthy and dependable. Being responsible means that we are fully matured adults and can choose our response to life's events, rather than reacting by habit or reflex. This attitude is reflected in our behaviors towards friends, family, clients, and customers in our community. Feeling responsible is essential for living up to our potential, enjoying satisfying relationships, and living happy, fulfilling lives. To teach our children to be responsible, we should be responsible ourselves, explain the benefits of responsibility to them, and gradually increase responsibilities as they grow older. Praise their efforts and let them know that you see them as responsible, and watch them grow into it. By doing so, we can help our children live up to their potential and enjoy satisfying relationships with others.

Apprenticeship programs are excellent tools for fleets and communities to educate and recruit students to work in the industry. These programs are invaluable to the students, communities, and the organizations in which they live and work in. What some Fleet Managers may not know is that schools and universities who offer a technician program usually have an advisory board for their program. These boards discuss curriculum, textbooks, certifications, tools, equipment, student participation, ASE accreditation, and more. As a fleet maintenance and repair expert, they could use your knowledge, input, and time. In addition, they often need volunteers to help with various aspects of the program, such as ASE accreditation. Reach out to your local school to get involved.
