Restless Development’s Post

☆A primary inspiration, in my world as a little girl, my beloved aunt, miss Julie Flahaven☆ I looked up to Julie. But oddly enough, the world always seemed so strangely fixated on her challenges, something entirely puzzling to my younger self. Truly, all my younger-self could see, was a brilliant young lady. A model of utmost grit and radiating *contagious* positivity. Thinking stereotypically, a common denominator of society's esteemed entrepreneurs, is dropping out of college. Could this perhaps be the ordinary thinking of our FORBES superhero's, who have adapted a philosophy, prioritizing the fostering of their current strengths & interest-based skill sets, strategic to achieving personal objectives, as an elitist? The alternative, allocating a majorty of energy towards becoming the most rounded contributor of society, evidently seems to breed a recipe for average. "Well-rounded" has become a term used to describe the norm of a middle-class, FTE, who will not retire prior to turning 60. To be honest, this is hardly ~ FORBES-level ~ inspiring. My beloved aunt, miss Julie Flahaven, an award winning participant of the Special Olympics Track & Sprint competition, is an inspiring example of the special elixir of motivational support and its impact in driving strengthening of talents, in really anybody. Julie was fortunate to be blessed with the best in family. The Flahaven Family showered Julia with endless love, supported her in fostering her desired skills, mentored her through achieving her bright-eyed goals, and consistently reminded miss Julie; 'individualism ~ is sooooo much cooler than blending' ⭐ Let Julie's story & inspiring success ⭐ continually motivate & remind us; ♡ In fostering strengths - we breed winning, ♡ In focusing on weaknesses - We send ourselves spinning ♡ By Mentoring talents - We Introduce our inner brilliance There's never any wrong in improving challenge areas, but an important reminder; is to not loose sight of priority; mentoring & advancing all your proficiencies: ♡ skills, talents, interest, & creativity ♡ After just watching this video, as well as sharing an inspiring story highlighting my Aunt Julia, I want to circle back to my purpose in sharing this post with my community With utmost sincerity, I would like to take a moment to personally give a heartfelt thank you to the organization's stakeholders, and all who support the maintenance of the Special Olympics, globally 🗺 Your philanthropic efforts; ♡diligently drive sustainability, ♡ foster on-going growth of an unremarkable opportunity, ♡empower community, ♡& tenaciously de-stigmatize "disability" Thank you for all you do. ★You empowered Julie, ★You enlightened my younger-self & ✩continue to inspire me each day✩ ★Above all, you continue to impact the world's views regarding capability, from those with the label 'disability' If you haven't already ☞ the Special Olympic's Revolution of Inclusion

Leadership is not just about achieving individual success; it's about empowering and uplifting those around you. True leadership lies in the ability to inspire, mentor, and support others to reach their full potential. By fostering an environment where everyone can thrive, a leader not only enhances the collective strength of the team but also cultivates a culture of growth, collaboration, and excellence. In essence, leadership is about making everyone else better, creating a ripple effect of positive impact that extends far beyond individual achievements.

It's human nature that we desire to fit in to the social groups we find ourselves in. But does it really work out for us in the long run? Should we hide our true selves in order to squeeze into the mould that we're presented with? I really liked Shivani Uberoi's TEDX talk on why fitting in will screw you up, I can relate to the 'masking' throughout most of my life, of hiding parts of my identity to fit in. Shivani explores the science of why we try to fit in, and reveals the impact that it has on our sense of wellbeing – along with strategies on how to discover your true self and boost your self esteem and self confidence. Watch here for a little insight into why fitting in will screw you up: https://lnkd.in/e3AnXuxq #Inclusion #Diversity #Wellbeing

the importance of relationships for your personality 5 Ways Relationships Shape Who You Are: Reflection & Growth: Friends and loved ones act as mirrors, reflecting our strengths and weaknesses. This honest feedback helps us become better versions of ourselves. Social Learning: We learn new perspectives, communication styles, and coping mechanisms through interactions. We grow by adopting positive traits and navigating differences. Value Validation: Relationships provide a sense of belonging and acceptance. When others appreciate our unique qualities, it reinforces our self-worth and shapes our identity. Challenge & Support: Friends push us outside our comfort zones, encouraging personal development. They also provide a safety net for vulnerability, allowing us to explore and refine who we are. Shared Experiences: Shared joys, sorrows, and experiences with others shape our memories and how we perceive the world. These bonds create a unique tapestry that defines who we are. #sijoittaminen #eurovaalit #FrugalFathersDay #FreenxYSL #MondayMotivation #WorldBicycleDay #DontStreamOnMax #GreyCup #FixTF2 #UFC302 #VolunteersWeek #bgtfinal #RCN24 #Matildas #AUSvCHN #eqnz #commodore64 #faircity #vhiwmm #WildflowerHour #excnac #NLAlert #nacpraat #Aptos #Mannheim #Stolzmonat #PrideMonth

Last week, I attended the Polkadot Powerhouse Women’s Connection Group Annual Celebration. Six powerful takeaways from the 2023 Celebration: 1. Our ability to uplift others is our greatest superpower - Caterina Rando, MA 2.  We are like seeds that evolve, grow, and bloom. Our soil is the people who surround us. Our water is the information we consume, and the sunlight is where we focus and place our attention. - Lori Dodson 3.     When we’re intentional about creating meaningful connections with the people we meet, amazing things happen. Powerful connections often impact one’s life trajectory. 4.     Forgiveness is empowerment because it gives us the power to rewrite the story. It enables the release of oneself from the power of another. - Katy K. 5.     Laughing keeps us healthy, and humor is a habit. Train yourself for a comedy mindset by “finding the funny” in daily experiences, whether ordinary or stressful. - Elaine Williams 6.     Own your time, own your power. When your energy level is “0”, you don’t own your time. To effectively enhance, support, and transform the lives of others, and must remember to start with us. - Vanessa Zamy Jackie Orth Brittany Garner Dawn Regner Mindy Van Vleet #DotCelebration2023 #ItsGlowTime #connection https://lnkd.in/ewMWbiac

Why does racism and sexism still exist in the workplace? This was her opening question and it sets the tone for a deep, vulnerable and risk taking conversation. Conversations that we should be having every day in the workplace but yet we are silenced, whether that is our own doing or the environments. DEI is on a backslide, with is not surprising to us, as we continue to see individual short lived change initiatives and programmes being offered at often huge costs. We are not talking just financial (DEI is big business££) but how it destroys trust, with the silence/lack of change, eroding every effort to do more, with a need greater than ever, to repair mistrust. 2024 will not be about moving the dial for us, instead it will focus on building bridges, those that we will use to place the most talented diverse candidates into. Roles that will pay well, have a clear career pathway and a culture that will get them sponsored and promoted into them quickly. Digging deep, bridging and taking collection action is the only way, and we are pleased to have been doing this for years, for clients who are now thinking, seeing and doing attraction, retention and development practices differently. Enjoy the TED or talk to @Karen Orton who continues to lead this framework for collective action. #2024planning #recruitment #sisterhood
