🏆 50 x LinkedIn Top Voice: 🚀Senior Manager of Corporate Insights, Analytics, and Data at Holiday Inn Club Vacations🌐: Inspiring Innovation & Leadership in Business Intelligence📊
Today, we pause to honor the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Memorial Day is not just a long weekend or a chance to fire up the grill. It’s a solemn reminder of the courage and selflessness displayed by countless individuals who laid down their lives so we can enjoy the liberties we often take for granted. Their bravery is the bedrock of our freedom, and their legacy is a beacon of hope and resilience. As someone deeply invested in leadership and community development, I find profound lessons in their sacrifice. Here are three key insights that resonate with me: 1️⃣ Courage in the Face of Adversity: True leadership shines brightest in challenging times. The bravery of our fallen heroes teaches us that facing adversity head-on, with unwavering resolve, is the hallmark of a great leader. In our professional lives, let’s channel this courage to tackle obstacles and drive innovation. 2️⃣ Selflessness and Service: The ultimate act of giving is to put others before oneself. This selflessness is a cornerstone of effective leadership and community building. Let’s strive to create environments where we support and uplift each other, fostering a culture of mutual growth and success. 3️⃣ Legacy of Impact: The sacrifices of our heroes remind us that our actions today shape the world of tomorrow. In our careers and personal lives, let’s focus on creating a positive, lasting impact. Whether it’s mentoring a colleague, leading a project, or driving community initiatives, every effort counts. On this Memorial Day, let’s reflect on these lessons and honor the memory of those who gave all. Take a moment to recognize the contributions of individuals in your network who embody these values. Give them a shoutout, connect them with others, and help amplify their impact. Let’s make this Memorial Day not just a day of remembrance, but a day of action and appreciation. If this post resonates with you, please give it a like, leave a comment sharing your thoughts, or repost to spread the message. Together, we can honor the past and inspire the future. #ThoseThatGaveAll #USA #AmericaTheBeautiful #Sacrifice #Leadership #Community #Inspiration

🎖️ From Valor to Victory: Memorial Day's Business Lessons Unveiled 🚀 As we enjoy the long weekend and time spent with loved ones, it's crucial to pause and honor the true significance of Memorial Day. Today, we commemorate the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their selflessness and dedication remind us of the importance of honor, integrity, and sacrifice, values that resonate deeply within our business community. As entrepreneurs and professionals, we strive for excellence, but it's essential to remember the foundation upon which our freedoms and opportunities are built. Memorial Day serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact individuals can have when they commit themselves wholeheartedly to a cause greater than themselves. In business, this translates to fostering a culture of service, teamwork, and purpose-driven leadership. Moreover, Memorial Day underscores the significance of gratitude and appreciation. Just as we express gratitude for the sacrifices of our fallen heroes, let us also express gratitude for the dedicated individuals who contribute to our businesses every day. As we honor the memory of those who gave their lives for our country, let us recommit ourselves to upholding the values they fought to defend. Together, let's strive to build businesses and communities that reflect the spirit of unity, resilience, and service exemplified by our fallen heroes. #MemorialDay #HonoringHeroes #BusinessValues #Gratitude

Want to know more about the origins of the City Livery companies? This engaging video tells the story.
Forget the Radio Times listings this year...why not make yourself a cup of tea and watch this fascinating video on the history of London's livery companies? The documentary film by historian Peter Stone, explores the history of these organisations and their links with the City of London. Co-presented by our Archivist, Dr David Bartle, who shares some facts about the history of the Hall itself, it also features interviews with the Clerk, Director of Schools and Director of Charities, who discuss the work of the Company today - this is not one to miss. With 19 schools across England and Wales, in addition to supporting eight parishes and a whole host of small charities, today The Haberdashers' Company is a major player in philanthropy and education in the UK.

We can easily change things to build a better world for everyone, my only questions are. 1. why haven't we done so when we have so many people protesting, rioting, separate bandaid solutions, etc? 2. what support systems do we need to accomplish this? 3. when can we get it done? A: anytime, it just takes people understanding newer systems and getting off their butts to volunteer to get it done.

DECUMULATION IDEAS #57: VISIT #MONTICELLO - HOME OF ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST BRILLIANT (AND COMPLEX) CITIZENS AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME. Visited #ThomasJefferson's home yesterday (probably my 5th or 6th visit). For those not aware, he wrote the declaration of independence (July 4 is Independence Day), wrote the law arguing for basically the separation of church and state (which sadly folks in OK and LA seem to have not read), and founded University of Virginia (Sachin Muralidhar). "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." But not so for women and African-Americans at that time - which is a strange exception given how eclectic he was, and clearly his relationship with Sally Hemings in a head-scratcher. Visiting his house, one can see how imaginative and creative he was (would have been labeled ADHD today); donated his books to the Library of Congress etc. In these weird times in this country, helps to go back and visit the home of a Founding Father to see if we can channel their wisdom and create a more perfect union. PS: Happens to be the anniversary of one of the most popular jazz singles from another brilliant American. And maybe we all need to Take 5 in this election year. https://lnkd.in/g7v6AFbB PPS: Why do we have to sully such amazing historical sites with the names of "donors" like David Rubinstein, Robert Smith on various buildings etc? While their egos may need massaging, do the historical societies not have the backbone to tell them to buzz off if they want their names on the buildings? Same with academia - why name buildings after donors and not the best academic the school has produced? What is wrong with us?
