Not all time off has to involve passports and sandy beaches (though I highly recommend them! 😉). Staycations can be just as rejuvenating if you do them right. Vacation: A chance to disconnect and explore new places. Staycation: A chance to rest, reset, and reconnect with yourself or loved ones at home. Tips for both: ✨ Plan activities that bring you joy. ✨ Unplug from work completely. ✨ Make it intentional—no chores or errands allowed! Which do you prefer, staycation or vacation? Let me know! #StaycationOrVacation #TakeYourTimeOff #WorkLifeHarmony #NonprofitLife #SelfCareForLeaders #LeadershipMatters #RestAndRecharge

A topic I am passionate about 💯 Value-based care programs are essential in senior living because wellness begins at home, not in hospitals.

Nearly one year into my role at The Mayor's Fund for London, perhaps it's time for a LinkedIn post. I've been discussing a lot lately about how little I post on socials in my own time away from managing organisational channels. One theory is that using it in my 9-5 means I don't have the thirst for it outside of work. Similar to how a barista might feel about making their own hot drinks. Anyway, here goes... I'm so proud to be working for MFL. The charity is all about championing opportunities for young Londoners facing the biggest barriers. Providing food as a foundation, skills as a springboard and power through our platform. It's staggering the amount of good MFL has done in the short time I've been here. From providing (literally) hundreds of thousands of free holiday meals to facilitating accessible up-skilling opportunities, all whilst enabling young people to have a real say in how their city is run. We've just launched our holiday appeal #InYourGift. Looking ahead to the winter holidays we're currently only able to meet 35% of the demand we see. Holidays should be a time for community, development, wellbeing and fun. Not a time to dread because food and activities are unaffordable and inaccessible. Do take a look and support us in any way you can. 👉 https://bit.ly/48eREML ... And there we go. An actual LinkedIn post. Having drafted that, maybe it's not just the overexposure theory. It might be a little deeper than that. I think it also comes down to 'awe'. I am in awe of those I work with, the work they do and how they do it. A huge thanks to Team MFL, the positive energy, dedication and expertise my colleagues bring makes communicating what's happening easy. And so, possibly, stepping away from organisational channels and posting under my own profile comes a bit of apprehension. Apprehension that I'll try to start moving past. One cup of coffee at a time.

The #holidays are meant to be spent with family and loved ones, but for many who work in #hospitality in our valley, it can mean demanding clients and long hours. That’s why Aspen-based “Hospitality Matters,” which recently became a 501(c)4 nonprofit, is spreading the word about ways for people working at restaurants and other service jobs to take care of their mental health during this time. The group, which is free and open to anyone working in hospitality or customer service, offers peer-support and therapy referral sessions throughout the year. In 2019, Lindze Letherman and Quinn Gallagher, who both worked at Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, approached licensed clinical social worker and therapist Kathleen Callahan about starting the group after a number of people who worked at local restaurants and bars died by suicide. https://lnkd.in/dMWmK6rB #tourism #Tourisminsights #pakistan #tourismindustry #AtharJ #ecotourism #sustainabletourism #sustainability #sustainabledevelopment #tourismmarketing #60seconds 

Elevate Your Celebrations with Purpose As we celebrate significant milestones like birthdays, weddings, and graduations, we have a unique opportunity to extend our impact beyond personal joy. Instead of directing excess funds toward traditional expenses like cake or party favors, consider allocating a portion of your budget to support underprivileged communities. Founded by Girik, this initiative encourages your friends and family to celebrate you while contributing to a greater cause, creating a dual celebration of joy and generosity. By turning personal milestones into acts of kindness, we foster a sense of community and shared purpose. Embracing this model not only enhances the experience for your guests but also cultivates a culture of giving that can resonate far beyond the event itself. Let’s work together to transform our celebrations into meaningful opportunities for positive change. #PurposefulCelebration #CommunityEngagement #SocialImpact #GirikInitiative #CelebrationWithPurpose #ActsOfKindness #MakeADifference #TogetherWeCan #CelebrateChange #GivingBack #SocialGood #MilestoneMoments #SupportCommunities #InspireChange
