Jobs for the Future (JFF)’s Post

Teachers are the foundation of a student's journey, often serving as the most inspiring force that can transform lives. When a teacher dedicates themselves to imparting knowledge with passion and purpose, they shape not only the minds but also the futures of their students. A strong educational foundation, built by professional and committed educators, is where brilliance begins. From childhood, education lays the groundwork for a lifetime of growth. If a student’s early experiences are nurtured by professionals who truly care, they will develop into confident, capable, and successful individuals. Education is not just the transmission of information; it is the key that opens doors to possibilities, creativity, and leadership. Teachers mold the leaders, innovators, and changemakers of tomorrow. Their influence goes far beyond the classroom. It touches every corner of our lives, shaping the way we think, approach challenges, and contribute to society. We owe a great debt to teachers, whose dedication and guidance help us not only learn but thrive. They don't just change lives—they elevate them, setting us on paths toward brighter futures. To all the teachers who have poured their hearts into shaping us, guiding us, and believing in us, we thank you. Your impact is immeasurable, and your legacy lives on in each life you’ve touched #lailarahhall #EducationMatters #InspiringTeachers #LifelongImpact #ThankYouTeachers #BuildingTheFuture Woman Business Circle

When considering the robust STEM ecosystem in San Diego, you must consider where it all starts…..school! When elementary to high school students are supported in the development of their soft skills, along with innovation and grit, the pipeline that supplies STEM employers with employees is strengthened. Take a look at this snapshot of education in San Diego. We need more schools that focus on innovation and less on the former model built for the Industrial Revolution.

Gone are the days when change in our institutions is a choice. The onset of the global pandemic, along with demographic, technological, geopolitical, and economic shifts, has reshaped our professional world, especially for student success and student affairs professionals. As we grapple with burnout and the limitations of traditional change management, it's time to ask ourselves: - Are we misunderstanding the nature of change today? - What new paradigm can help us navigate these turbulent times? - What skills do we need to thrive amidst constant change? In our latest blog, Jennifer Baszile and Dani Barker explore the history of change in higher education and outline the challenges we face. Stay tuned for the next post, where we’ll introduce a new paradigm designed to empower us as we navigate this era of disruption. https://lnkd.in/gFbT5Uph #HigherEd #StudentSuccess #ChangeManagement #Burnout #Leadership #HigherEducation

If only all politicians felt the same way..... Sadly, many leaders are focused on timeframes that only include their own tenure or just beyond it. What if we truly believed in the value of leaving a legacy beyond our own lifetimes? When people speak about leaving a legacy, they usually think about what they can do at the end of their lives to make a long-lasting impact. They are thinking about the difference they make that lasts beyond their own lifetime. The most influential people, the ones who leave behind incredible legacies, live on in the hearts of the people they’ve touched along the way. Schools and educational leaders leave a legacy in such powerful ways and more than most organisations. https://lnkd.in/dNzg-sd2

The system doesn't accept you;  it just takes from you and doesn't give back.  We need to break this cycle and create an  the environment where students can thrive, innovate, and achieve their dreams. 🌟✨ 💡 Let's drive change together.

As a passionate advocate and certified facilitator for The Virtues Project, I find myself constantly immersed in the world of virtues. These aren’t just abstract concepts; they are universal qualities that transcend culture, belief systems, and borders. They are the essence of our being, the core of our shared humanity. But what makes virtues so compelling? Unlike values, which are often shaped by our cultural environment, virtues are the common language of humanity, connecting us in ways we might not even realize. By the way, my PEQ Performance Consulting LLC partner Hilary Bilbrey is a certified master facilitator who showed me the ways of this beautiful work. If you’re curious to dive deeper into the world of virtues, don’t hesitate to reach out! The significance of virtues extends far beyond personal development. In a recent article by Tom Bear in the National Association for College Admission Counseling Journal of College Admission (Winter 2024, p. 46), the spotlight was on #collegeadmissions. The discussion? How virtues are becoming increasingly valued by colleges seeking to nurture students who will make a meaningful impact in the workforce and world. The virtues in focus are: Intellectual Virtues: Fostering critical thinking and innovation. Moral Virtues: Cultivating integrity and ethical leadership. Civic Virtues: Encouraging community engagement and social responsibility. Performance Virtues: Driving excellence and resilience in all endeavors. Reflecting on these virtues, I consider how they manifest in my life—how they shape my interactions within my family, influence my professional endeavors, and guide my service to others. It’s a powerful exchange of positive energy that amplifies love, compassion, and endless possibilities. Join the Conversation Are you ready to explore how virtues can transform your life and the lives of those around you? Let’s connect and discuss how we can collectively elevate our communities with the power of virtues. Comment below or message me to start our dialogue on virtues! #virtues #peqperformance #educationtoworkforce (Photo by Alina Grubnyak)
