Getting ready for Pittsburgh! 🧵💛🖤
Yesterday, the moms (and other family members) of our NeighborWorks America staff came together at our D.C. headquarters for a special project. They cut and prepped fabric that will be used to make cozy fleece blankets for Light of Life Rescue Mission in Pittsburgh.
The blankets will be made at our upcoming NeighborWorks Training Institute in Pittsburgh (Aug. 26-30) – and yes, the fabric features the colors of Pittsburgh's beloved sports teams! 🏈⚾️🏒🐧
Did you know NeighborWorks has roots in Pittsburgh? This year we're celebrating our 45th anniversary – and we're excited to give back to the community where it all began. Learn More here: https://hubs.li/Q02HLvYm0#NeighborWorks
During #scotappweek24, we hear from ELDERPARK HOUSING ASSOCIATION's Lauren Herd who started her career in housing as an apprentice.

Those who know me know that my love for the San Francisco 49ers isn't just a hobby, it's a family legacy! 🏈 This weekend, despite the loss, was another chapter in our tradition of cheering, shouting, and yes, sometimes sighing, alongside our favorite team. Passing down this ritual to my daughter means teaching her about more than just football; it’s about resilience, loyalty, and the art of seeing a game through, no matter the score.
At Orange Grove Creative Co., we channel that same die-hard energy into every project. Whether we're facing down a tight deadline or brainstorming a game-changing campaign, we bring the spirit of a fourth-quarter comeback to our work.
So, how do you blend passion and tradition into your professional endeavors? Drop a comment below—we might just have more in common than our favorite teams!

I can't express strongly enough how important Jesse Cole's mantra of Fans First should be incorporated in how we interact with donors and how admissions should interact with prospective students and families in the private educational sector.
You may have the best glossy brochures or produced videos, but they all fall short on the personal interactions you have with your donors and families. These interactions are game changers. They are the difference between getting a gift or having a student enroll in your school. The student ambassador who connects with a child during a visit to campus or taking the time to have coffee with a new parent and sharing personally the incredible impact giving has on your school - moves mountains.
If you haven't taken a moment to check out Fans First or check out the Savanah Bananas - you should make it your summer reading. It's a game changer.

Fenway Park was the biggest challenge we've ever had as an organization. Before the game, we had our Fans First chat with over 200 plus employees, players and cast members and I shared with the team how we could be our best in the moment.
From Day 1, I've always believed in focusing on the fans first. But when facing real adversity, we often need more than just that mindset as our north star. We need to know how to put the fan first. What I've learned is that the greatest performers know how to slow things down. When things speed up, they can focus even better on what's in front of them in that moment.
I shared how while we would have the most eyes on us we've ever had, it was the eyes right in front of us that mattered most.
My goal was for everyone to take the extra time with fans, embrace the moments and truly be present. If we did that and focused on one fan at a time, everything else would take care of itself.
After the game, I was truly proud of everyone on our team. I heard countless fans first stories and moments shared by our group and by fans all over social media. With every challenge, we get better and learn more. But who we are, what we stand for and the heart of this organization will never change.
"Focus on one fan at a time, everything else would take care of itself." - Jesse Cole
It's easy for you to get lost in the bigness of your problems at work and in life, but slow things down... take extra time, look people in the eye, embrace the moment as an opportunity and you will make a difference, create an experience, leave an impact.
Take 3 minutes and listen to the secret sauce behind creating a "Fans First" experience the Savannah Bananas have used to change the game and build a passionate fanbase around the world.

Incredible video from Jesse Cole from the Savannah Bananas at Fenway Park talking about seizing the opportunity, slowing things down and giving the fans their moment!
Although this is about baseball and showmanship, I cannot help but relate to how this simple theory of slowing down, being in the moment and personalizing the moment matters in healthcare. And as we embark on the new Medicare GUIDE model for Alzheimer's and dementia care, the aspect of personalizing care and slowing down will become even more important.
At PocketRN, we believe that nurse lead care is the key to driving ongoing, sustainable outcomes because nurses are the changemaker's, the empathetic people who relate, listen and care. Nurses personalize care delivery by focusing on things that matter to the patient. The things that a patient can relate to, and the needed motivation patients and their caregivers need to be involved! So, even though this video is about baseball, it is also about slowing down and being impactful!
Cheers to all the nurses, athletes, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals and good humans out there who are making a difference and personalizing experiences, one person at a time.

After finishing another wonderful workshop with New York's finest, I decided to pay a visit to Ground Zero, which is in many ways the birthplace of #redteamthinking. Here's why ...
Starting my 4th year as a delegate for DarkSky International. Glad to say that the Forest Preserve of DuPage County, Glen Ellyn Park District, Wheaton Park District and Geneva Park District have passed Dark Sky resolutions and, most recently, State Senator Laura Ellman will sponsor an Illinois statute titled "Responsible Outdoor Lighting Act." Also, we now have a Chicago Chapter, DarkSky Chicago, www.idachicago.org. If man was causing us to lose so much natural sunlight during the day, would we address it by simply flipping a switch? Using better outdoor light fixtures? Using more amber light bulbs? Using less bright bulbs?
