Grand Junction Economic Partnership (GJEP)’s Post

It was such an honor to present last week at the Annual YPN Summit! I shared four tips for stepping into your "Mastermind Era" (my fellow Swifties, IKYK)—actionable tools that can shape your dream life! 1. Acknowledge Your Power – Own your strengths, your potential, and the unique value you bring. Believing in yourself is the first step toward success. 2. Have a Palpable Vision – Get crystal clear on your goals. When you can feel and see your vision, you’re more inspired to make it a reality. 3. Be Authentic – Show up as your true self. Authenticity is what sets you apart and attracts the right people and opportunities. 4. Create Strategic Habits – Build habits that directly support your goals and make progress feel natural. Small, consistent actions lead to lasting results. Huge thanks to my fellow Young Professionals Network (YPN) South Bend ambassador team and Jacee Wesolowski for orchestrating such a great event, and to everyone who joined for showing up with such energy and ambition! #YPNSummit #YoungProfessionals #MastermindEra #Authenticity #SuccessMindset

Celebrating National World Voice Day: Empowering Young People On National World Voice Day, let's reflect on the significance of giving young people a voice in their own lives. At Athena Care, we implement this philosophy in our everyday practices. Our approach is rooted in theories such as Self-Determination Theory (SDT), which highlights the importance of autonomy and self-expression in promoting well-being and resilience. By empowering young people to voice their thoughts and ideas, we foster a sense of agency and ownership over their lives, aligning with the principles of SDT. Our young people actively participate in meetings, provide input in staff interviews, and make daily choices with the guidance of our supportive staff. They even hold their own board meetings through our Young People's Advisory Board, embodying the principles of participation and empowerment advocated by theorists like Roger Hart and Sherry Arnstein. By incorporating these theories into our everyday practices, we create opportunities for meaningful engagement and collaboration, fostering a culture of inclusivity, respect, and mutual understanding. Today, let's reaffirm our commitment to promoting understanding, empathy, and active listening, empowering young people to become confident, resilient individuals who are equipped to navigate life's challenges with courage and conviction. #NationalWorldVoiceDay #YouthEmpowerment #SelfDeterminationTheory #Participation #Empowerment #AthenaCare
