Christopher C.’s Post

We are thrilled to highlight our friend and mentor, Keith Palmer, who appeared earlier this week on Episode 20 of On The Path Podcast. 🎙️   This is a compelling episode! Keith shares his unique experiences navigating both #battlefields and #boardrooms. He dives into the challenges of facing adversity in #military and #corporate settings – you’ll be surprised at where we find some interesting overlap! He also emphasizes the critical importance of reengaging in tough conversations.   In part, Keith’s journey has been shaped by a difficult upbringing, which led him to pursue education and a life of #service in the military. One of our favorite quotes of his is, “Leadership starts with humility and ends with integrity,” underscoring his belief in the foundational qualities of effective leadership.   A few key takeaways from the episode: 1. The significance of personal accountability as a foundation for effective community building. 2. The mutual exchange of mentorship and the value of helping others avoid/recover from mistakes. 3. The importance of balancing multiple responsibilities while being present for family and loved ones. 4. The impact of purpose-driven leadership and self-awareness in authentic leadership.   One more ‘Keith Quote’ I’ll leave you with…“We all have a story, we all have a journey, we're all human, and have our problems.” What a beautiful way to think about #community and #empathy for others.   Don’t miss this episode—watch it on YouTube here: https://lnkd.in/evZ5xCTM   We would love to engage with YOU on a few of these topics.

Is achieving a work-life balance truly possible? In today’s fast-paced world, the quest for work-life balance has become a popular topic of discussion. Many people strive to manage their time effectively between professional responsibilities and personal life, but is this goal realistic? Research indicates that while balancing these two aspects can be challenging, it is achievable with intentional effort and strategies. Setting boundaries at work, prioritizing tasks, and learning to say no are essential steps toward finding equilibrium. Moreover, it's important to recognize that everyone's definition of work-life balance varies based on individual circumstances and priorities. What may be fulfilling for one person might not resonate with another. Ultimately, fostering a healthy work-life balance requires ongoing reflection and adjustment as life evolves. While it may seem like a myth for some, with commitment and flexibility, many individuals find ways to create harmony in their daily lives. #worklifebalance #goals #myth

After a brief break, I'm thrilled to begin my job search once again. Our recent move to the south side of Atlanta has opened up new possibilities for me and my family. However, I've found the job search to be more difficult than anticipated, particularly when it comes to navigating resume scanners. I'm eager to connect with potential employers in the fields of Finance, Accounting, and Human Resources. I'm hoping to land a role at a company with a positive, forward-thinking culture and ample opportunities for growth. Any help in this search would be greatly appreciated.
