🌟 Building a Legacy of Compassion 🌟 "When you put service over self, you create a legacy of compassion and commitment that transcends your own life." This profound insight reminds us that the true measure of our lives isn't found in what we accumulate, but in what we give away. By choosing to serve others, we contribute to a legacy that extends far beyond our time on this earth. It's about making a lasting impact that will continue to influence and inspire long after we are gone. Let's consider how we can serve those around us this week. Whether it's through volunteering, lending a listening ear, or simply offering kindness wherever we go, every act of service plants seeds of compassion and commitment. 🌱 What actions will you take to build your legacy this week? Share your plans or thoughts on how you aim to leave a positive mark through service. #LegacyOfService #ServiceOverSelf #DrBradMD #InspireChange

Feeling honored, grateful, and a touch nervous. 1) Please share any and all board member advice. What do I likely not know that I don’t yet know? (Thank you!) 2) Please ask me about the Sudbury model and, specifically, Saint Louis Sudbury School. This is especially true for parents and guardians who are also systems thinkers and continuous improvement types, as you likely see the opportunities of conventional education systems. Respect humanity. Improve work. Respect children. Improve school. 😉 Bonus points for the Lean/TPS community, assess the practice of continuous improvement and respect for people in your personal experience of schooling. #sudbury #education #continuousimprovement #consciousness #lean #leadership #respectforpeople #tps #consciousleadership #futureofwork #manufacturingexcellence

OUT NOW: On our latest episode (the last before we take a break over the summer) we have a fascinating conversation about how to understand and measure generosity around the world, with Pamala Wiepking, Stead Family Chair in International Philanthropy at Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. https://lnkd.in/eGRHGzat Including: -Is “philanthropy” a helpful word in a global context? -Is there any danger that if we broaden our definitions of generosity too far in our efforts to make them more universal, they lose meaning? -Is the role of philanthropy academics simply to observe and analyse giving and generosity, or to encourage it? -Are we in the midst of a "generosity crisis", or is the apparent decline in giving in places like the US, the UK and the Netherlands merely a reflection of the fact that the way we measure generosity has failed to evolve in step with how people actually choose to give?

Project 2025. Hot topic.... Blaq Gurl Fya's founder, Safiya Eshe Gyasi ways in... It's July 31, 2024 and Trump is invited to speak at a convention in Downtown Chicago . Our founder was on her way to attend a Disability Luncheon with the Mayor. Before arriving at her final destination, protestors could be seen and heard outside of the bus window. Commotions occurred on the bus. Conversations ranging from admiration to feeling in-different about Trump presents in Chicago. It's now after 2pm. Our founder decides to observe the protests, but upon arrival on two people were left. Disagreement on Project 2025 erupted. Blaq Gurl Fya's founder views Project 2025 as propaganda. In accordance of the reality Trump-adjacent republicans sees fit. A great opportunity has been initiated. Of creating the new earth. filled with freedom, unity, inclusion for all. How can philanthropic giving be used to create institutional and systemic change????
