Social and community participation is important because it can: Help you feel included and connected to others. Give you opportunities to build relationships with friends. Grow your social networks and help you feel more included. Everybody needs a champion and good role models who are non-judgemental. Volunteering in the. community helps Improve citizens' knowledge and skills in problems. This journey, is teaching me to be respectful, use active listening and good communication skills. Greater community knowledge allows me to see multiple sides of the problem and opportunities especially when working with women and young people. #domesticfamilyandsexualharassment, #diversityequityandinclusion #youthrisk Thanks OACWA Inc for recognising those who are making an impact in the community👏

What a smart move. Everyone knows there's plenty of options out there. Welcome to the "dark side". LOL! Isn't that what some companies try to convince you? Everyone also knows the truth. Hey, are you thinking about making the move? 🤔 Maybe you're feeling "stuck" out of fear... 😨 Fear of losing your clients... ✔ Truth is, you made those clients for the company. ✔ The right ones will follow you. There are plenty out there who need you. Fear of losing deferred compensation... 😱 ✔ Truth is, your company is keeping the lion share of all comp. They're holding back some of the comp you earned. They're giving it as quarterly bonuses to the top producers. They're stuffing some in deferred comp. ✔ Truth is, we don't get that kind of bonus here. We don't have deferred comp. Why? Because we get to keep the entire amount we earned right away. Fear of losing your agents... 😨 ✔ Come on man! Don't you know about the leadership skills of our National Recruiting Director? 🤗 Lyn Godfrey Or her drive? Or her heart? There is no quit. ✔ Truth is, your company is keeping the overwrites on their agents on your team when the agent leaves. You're an employee. ⁉ Why try to train 10 agents a month to watch 9 leave only to give the clients and overrides on the 9 agents' clients to the company? Insert whatever fear you're choosing to believe. Fear is a liar. How do you handle a prospect at the kitchen table in this situation? Use that tactic on yourself. Don't let fear manage your career! 😎

Update from the Latest Council Meeting At the meeting in June, Council agreed on a series of actions to ensure British Skydiving has a Board of Directors that is balanced, skilled and diverse. This included agreeing to a recommendation to members that the number of Independent Non-executive Directors (INEDs) should be increased from two to four, a significant decision. But there was one other significant Governance Recommendation that we didn’t have time to give due consideration to at that meeting. So, on 30 July, we held an additional meeting (known as an extraordinary meeting) to cover that outstanding item. At last week’s extraordinary meeting, we considered a substantial piece of work looking at the appointment processes for British Skydiving’s Non-executive Directors (NEDs), approaches taken by other NGBs and good governance recommendations. After much deliberation, the Directors agreed that the best way to align the process for appointing NEDs and the need to ensure Directors have the skills, expertise and attributes required to deliver the Strategic Plan and perform as an effective leadership team is to move to a system of application and selection for all NED roles, rather than the current system of election. We see this as the best option for reliably securing the skills and expertise needed and as likely to draw in a more diverse pool of candidates. This would be a big change for British Skydiving, and the Board still has a good deal of work to do before we can bring it to members for their consideration. So, in the meantime, we’ll share further updates as the work progresses. Mary (Chair of British Skydiving)

Great article from Southern Indiana Business Report on the one and only Becky Skillman!

This is a refreshingly honest piece from Ben Greener on how effective collaboration between Whitehall and local authorities can drive meaningful policy changes. The Partnerships for People and Place (PfPP) program highlights sensible yet radical steps to address hyper-local issues, from tackling fuel poverty in Hastings to improving mental health support in nearby Bradford. Keep your eyes peeled for policy recommendations to support policymakers and delivery bodies at central and local levels, including: 🚶♂️ Prioritising in-person visits and local engagement. 🛠 Building shared infrastructure for joint working. 🏛 Embedding cross-Whitehall collaboration in key processes. 📚 Enhancing training and local understanding. This initiative shows what can be achieved when we throw ourselves into solving local problems through a combination of policy and design 👏 https://lnkd.in/e7BN4YUe

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi hapus! Happy St David’s Day! The first of March is Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant, or St David’s Day, the day when Wales celebrates its patron saint. A renowned preacher, his final words to his followers before his death on 1 March 589 were “Be joyful, keep the faith, and do the little things that you have heard and seen me do.” St David believed that we should “do the little things”, the small, considerate things that often make a big difference. What's one small thing you could do today that might make a big difference somewhere or to someone? - Check in with a friend or colleague you’ve not spoken to for a while? - Smile at someone as you pass them in the office or in the street? - Make someone a cuppa? - Let someone know you think they’re doing a great job? You never know how the small thing that you do might impact someone else’s day 😊 Let us know the little things that you do to make a difference. #Kindness #Wellbeing #WellbeingAtWork #Support #HR #HRCommunity #Inclusion #Recognition
