As a Rotarian, I've witnessed the remarkable power of community firsthand. But Rotary is just one example. What remarkable community are you a part of? Whether it's a group that shares your passions, supports your growth, or uplifts your spirits, take a moment to celebrate the communities that shape who you are. Together, let's recognize the extraordinary impact of belonging. #CommunityEngagement #RemarkableJourneys #Rotary #Rotary7670

Let’s Go Birds!! Comment below a fun tradition you have for game days!

#Working with #youth is very #exciting and certainly never a dull moment. While for most completing school it's imperative to have a job as most homes need the additional #income. Once the youth find #jobopportunities more than often they get into a comfort zone and find it tough to #furthereducate themselves. This is a cycle I am all to familiar with myself. I enjoy our 121 sessions to sit and gain their insight as to why they working, what is the #shorttermplan, #longtermplan and my favourite when we establish a #personaldevelopmentplan specific for the #individual. One youth really really wants to be a firefighter. His #maingoal is to work to #help the #family for next 18months and in this time get ready to sign up for Firefighter. The group chuckled as we in a call center right. Told the team to hang on we open to hear from each one. He was shy and i assured him a session later to discuss more. Later on he opened up, his heart was made up 4yrs ago when a shack in his area was alight. He saved an elderly man and his dog, the firefighters gave him a special thanks as the #firetruck couldnt reach in time. He never forgot that feeling of #fulfillment and kept dreaming about being a firefighter. He doesnt know any firefighters and wouldnt know where to begin to get more #information. He recently got access to a smart device and needed support to navigate. We spent time searching and found the #Firefighteropenday and the Volunteer Wildfire Services, they hosting a fundraiser this Sunday https://lnkd.in/erxhMkpF He was ecstatic and gave me #biggesthug ever. He was super chuffed that I acknowledged his #dream #preciousmoment 100% #commitment #motivation to #KPIs in the timeframes and with excellent customer care. His going to #rescue those customers, put out all the #escalations and take #bonus home every month #livehisbestlife Taking the time to understand their why, then work out when they plan, to do what they truelly want to do and how, makes a high impact. #BPOIndustry has been a lifeline for most and whilst each one is #happy to be #employed let's never forget the #dreams and #aspirations. #leaders #engage #connect #knowtheirwhy #listentounderstand #settingexpectations #coaching #121matters #lovewhatwedo #aspiretoinspire #howtotrainafirefighter It's #International #FirefighterDay 04 May 2024.

NEW #TuesdayTips! Yesterday here in the USA it was Dr.Martin Luther King Day, which is a big volunteer "Day of Service" with thousands of events across the country. These tips are good for evaluating any kind of group volunteer service day, wherever you are in the world. After any big volunteer event you should do an evaluation of the activity with feedback from all participants, with a "Plus/Delta Debrief". "Plus/Delta" evaluation and/or survey questions should be specific to the objectives and goals of the event, and my tips include a few basic ideas to get you started, and more resource links. I also highlight the wonderful work on the topic of "MLK Days of Service" from Breauna Dorelus, MPA, with links in the video description to her Engage article and webinar available on her own website, Connecting the Cause. Links to my Priceless Advice and TuesdayTips conversation with Breauna are at the end of the video, so check those out, too! #LeadersOfVolunteers #MLKDayOfService #DEIAJ #CommunityEngagement #SocialJustice
