Florida's usual sunshine decided to take a vacation, leaving a dreary, chilly morning for my friend's pickleball fundraiser. Rain threatened to dampen the planned fun, but I saw opportunity knocking. My team started texting about not attending the event. Yet, they missed the gold mine hidden in grey skies. I challenged them: grab ponchos from the dollar store or umbrellas from Walmart, staple your business cards to them, and use them as unique icebreakers! Imagine standing out amidst raincoats and umbrellas, offering practical help while introducing yourself. The ponchos might become bin fodder, but the memory of your team's thoughtfulness wouldn't. Every time someone uses the umbrella? Guess who pops into their mind? Greywolfe Investing. Standing out at networking events rarely requires grand gestures.

Too often in the workplace we only train our staff on what we believe will bring the organisation direct value. It's all about the ROI. What ROI do you think you'll get from having staff who know how to keep the most vulnerable people in their lives safer, and know that their own organisation took the time to equip them to do it?
