Seven Starling’s Post

I think in every interview we've all heard the "We're like family here", "We have an open door policy", and "We want all our employees to grow." This sounds great until you start working there and realize by "family" they mean a dysfunctional one, "open door" is just for show, and that growth they talk about doesn't exist because there is no clear structure in place throughout the company. However, at Mend: for Mental & Behavioral Healthcare Providers, nothing could be further from the truth. Mend's leadership wants to make sure you, as a person, are doing well. I can reach out to anyone at any time and they always take the time to listen and help. And they not only want you to continue to grow in your current role but also give you the tools and help you do so. It's refreshing to be at a company that is the exception, rather than the norm.

It recently came to my attention that a former supervisee – to whom I felt a special connection upon meeting, and which remains to this day – is facing, and has faced for their entire life, a serious chronic illness, which they had kept to themself until now. My reaction was complicated, but here the two key points: 1. How could I have missed this? 2. What a missed opportunity! How might I have supported them had I only known? I’d love to do better next time around, so, now I’m curious: - How do you support staff members to bring their whole selves – including illness – to work, while still respecting privacy? - How does your organization support staff with chronic conditions that impact their lives? - What helps staff be their whole selves at work? Please share below:

A-not-so-fun fact: 75% of people say they can't articulate their purpose in life. That means only one of every four of us out there are waking up and charging forward with a sense of purpose. The rest of us? Well, we're walking forward, but without a direction, a path, or an answer in mind. Here's the good news: It doesn't have to be that way. Walking in your purpose isn't something reserved only for 25% of the people. Whether you are the CEO of the company confusing your purpose with your job description, the student overwhelmed with the continual question of what you're going to do with your life, the frontline employee working the register at a big-box retail store, the guy who just got laid off, the new mom struggling to balance your new routine, the fresh-out- of-college employee starting your first job, the person closing in on decades in a career you hate, the individual anticipating the retired life and what it will look like, the person with a strong sense of purpose that doesn't seem to line up with your job, anyone, anywhere struggling to know their purpose and live it in the season they're in. #purpose #growth #customerexperience #personalgrowth #professionaldevelopment #talent https://lnkd.in/gUGCHbti

It is easy to focus on the negatives and self-doubt. Am I giving it my all? Am I doing the right thing? Am I doing what I can to support those around me? Am I overwhelmed? Why can't I just be whelmed?? But today, I am going to focus on my team and how resilient, creative, patient, and dedicated they are. Anyone in long-term care knows that acquisitions are, simply put, tough. Changing policies, reprogramming your mind, being a cheerleader for the team, revamping culture, forgetting left from right and right from left, and countless other thoughts, feelings, and systems come your way. The past six months with Arrow Senior Living have taught me much about myself, but it is my team at Town and Country Senior Living that has made all the difference. They took on the challenge of change and ran with it. In six months, we have done so much for our team, residents, and families that would take more than long-winded social media post to cover. I can focus on the if's, how's, and what about's, but there is something better to put my focus on. I will focus on how every day this team is able to leave knowing we did our best, we accomplished all of this, and we will achieve even more tomorrow. I cannot thank or celebrate them enough for all they do, yet alone see what we do in the next six months. Happy six months Town and Country Senior Living!
