Corner Lot’s Post

Check out Public Allies National Board member and staff alum, Marc McAleavey, MSW's, blog post on leadership development! In this piece, he shares his belief that everyone has the capacity and skills to step up and lead positive change in their communities. ⭐ "Public Allies believes that everyone leads: that leadership isn’t a position, but actions we take. Through this, I have come to know that leadership is like a muscle that everyone has... However, when we marry our gifts and talents with the hopes and dreams of our neighbors, our leadership muscles grow and thrive in the power of community."

Some of the skills I want to learn is how to diagnose an injury and make it so I can tell them what to do for rehab and different things they can do to help make it easier and hurt less. The new skill I learned is how to tape different things and how to tape for different injuries.

About nine months ago, I met Christopher Banks (he goes by CJ). He had a vision to bring Salesforce education and employment opportunities to underserved communities in western New York, and he started KORP Foundation INC. to be the conduit to make this happen. Red Argyle has a history of hiring people from "non-traditional" backgrounds, including a cellist, actor, philosophy PhD, and security guard, to name a few. Anyone with the desire to learn and work hard can be successful in the Salesforce ecosystem. Also, It's amazing to see how people draw from their previous life experiences and apply it to their work as a Salesforce professional - some things just can't be taught. We've always had the desire to create a program to scale up the education and employment of people from all those diverse backgrounds. So, it was serendipitous to connect with CJ, who was already building it as KORP Foundation's PATHS program! Red Argyle is proud to be the PATHS program's first employer partner. We are currently supporting PATHS' first cohort by teaching class once a week. The students study in Trailhead and saasguru during the week in pursuit of their Salesforce Associate and Administrator certifications (every student has earned their Associate cert). They then come to "Lab" on Thursday nights to build a Salesforce app together. They've chosen to build a Fantasy Sports League app. It's challenging and eye-opening for the students to get to apply their studies and start to "think like Salesforce". It's also a delight for me to guide these students toward their own decisions in their architecture and configuration decisions. Best of all, it's as real as Salesforce work can get - we're training students not only how to build on the platform, but how to gather requirements, take ownership of workstreams, be adaptable in the face of uncertainty, and communicate as a team. When this first cohort concludes in May, Red Argyle will hire four PATHS graduates for year-long apprenticeships. They will join our project teams and do real work side-by-side with other Argylers with their support and mentorship. Is it a little risky? Sure. But employers can't just support programs like PATHS with donations and well-wishes. We need to support the intended outcome: bring Salesforce employment opportunities to underserved communities. I wish Red Argyle could hire all the graduates, but we aren't quite big enough for that, so 𝐈 𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 "𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞" 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞, 𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐨𝐧-𝐭𝐨-𝐛𝐞 𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐒 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

How to make a recruitment video 😂😂 What's great about this is it gives a true-to-life insight into the job role and career opportunities. In my experience; being happy at work is about: - The culture of giving thanks to your colleagues so they recognise they are a valued team member. And - Remembering not to always take things too seriously. A little good humour does wonders for morale. Finally - Knowing that we all have different strengths. If you didn't pass your GCSE's it just means your strengths may not be in exam-taking. You will develop a whole different skill set to someone who got 10 A* grades and that is only a great thing. 😊
