Today, we gathered to celebrate some important anniversaries at WPN. And you know, anniversaries have always been a thing with Phil! But why should we make such a big deal out of just time passing by? It's not just about the years they've been with us, but about how they've made WPN a better company. If we measure success by the number of people they've helped improve, we have a lot to celebrate! Today, we celebrate their talents and strengths, making WPN an amazing place to work. Let this be a reminder: How are you measuring your success? Are you bringing your strengths every day? How can you unleash your potential? #Gallup #Strengths

THE IMPORTANCE OF STARTING AFRESH Everyone has experienced the feeling of being overwhelmed by a situation to the extent that it seems there is no light at the end of the tunnel, where the only option that seems apparent is complete and utter failure. The reason for this rapid downward spiral into failure can often be attributed to a mistake early in the process that led to the chain of negative events. It's quite possible that situations such as this one could have been avoided if a fresh start had been made after the initial error was created. When we start anew and leave the past behind us, we rid ourselves of emotional baggage often associated with past failure. It is this idea that gives the fresh start its power. A fresh start can be anything from a solution to a single mistake, to a full-scale revamping of one's life. The latter example might be a person changing the career direction. With a fresh start in mind, and the past put behind us, it is possible to move on and tackle problems with a new perspective, or newfound strength. This ability to avoid making the same errors as we have made previously is a concept that is clearly of significant importance. It is often the case that the reason for failure is not the lack of skill to complete the required task, but the making of an error that throws us off course. Preparing a fresh start means that we no longer have to dwell on past errors; all attention can be focused completely on the task that lies ahead.

A picture of Mission 25 through the eyes of a valued employee💙❤️ “I’ve spent my entire adult life educating various ages. My job in the classroom was to teach objectives through lessons, lectures, and activities and assess whether or not the objective was met. My role as a navigator at Mission 25 is very similar to that in a classroom—to educate with the end goal of a task accomplished and objective learned. However, the tasks are less about an assignment and more about a lifestyle. I no longer grade papers…but instead I assist with job applications and pick out business appropriate outfits before interviews. I scour cookbooks and meal plans with single mothers who sometimes need food on the table in 10 minutes and sometimes want to try a dish they never dreamed of making. I’ve shown grown men how to sort laundry and iron button down shirts so that they are presentable in front of a judge. I’ve proofread apology letters from parents to their grown children owning some not-so-proud moments in their years. Instead of leading parent/teacher conferences, I sit alongside mothers during IEP meetings and help navigate modification plans to best fit their child. Instead of honors convocations and award banquets, I anxiously wait in the car for a resident to receive their 90-day chip at an AA meeting and celebrate three months in recovery with a milkshake. As with any profession, the teammates you surround yourself with can make or break your day and your spirits. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the team I get to work alongside make me a better human being multiple times a day. It’s this perfect balance of push/pull, give/take, tap-in/tap-out. It’s a trust that simply can’t be explained. Bonus…I get fed bologna sandwiches and watch my co-workers dance with spoons at staff meetings. What’s not to love?” Karen Hedrick #EmployeesMatter #ServingPeopleMatters #LifeSkills #JobInterviews #Recovery #Healing #Growth #Safety #Trustworthiness #Collaboration #Choice #Empowerment
