Yesterday I attended a construction jobs fair at Camberley Job Centre. It was pretty quiet, and apart from meeting my old colleague Jack Hodgkins (thanks for taking the photo!), not a lot happened. I came away with one CV. Today one of my jobs is entering data into Ringway's new social value calculator. Attending a jobs fair doesn't score highly on the calculator, as the proxy monetary values are based on the impact your activity has on someone's life. Chatting at a job fair = low impact. Fair enough. But you only need to meet one person at a job fair to change their life = high impact. And you need to have strong relationships with JCP work coaches to get introduced to their best candidates. And JCP work coaches need local companies like Ringway to support these events regularly, otherwise they can't run them. This sort of activity - like school careers fair, again, not a high social value calculator score, but bread and butter for schools, and potentially life changing for young people - deliver a different kind of value into our work in local communities. It's like the glue that sticks the value bricks together. Signposts that take us down the right roads. So while I love being able to demonstrate the monetary value of the work I'm delivering for Surrey County Council and Surrey Highways, it's only one measure. And me sitting at a quiet desk in Camberley on a Monday morning is one other. #socialvaluematters #partnershipsthatwork #highwaysheroes

The Macher Job Fair is gaining attention, prompting me to reflect on how I came up with the idea of organizing this job fair. Last year, I participated in a networking event and connected with the organizer, who proposed a collaboration with us. So, we set up a Zoom meeting to discuss it. After he pitched his idea, I asked him questions about the benefits for us in this collaboration. Instead of answering my questions directly, he began mansplaining the overall benefits in a very disrespectful way. I was surprised by this behavior, feeling strongly that he would not have spoken in such a manner to a man. His chauvinistic attitude was clear. So, I told him I was unwilling to do any business with him if he could not conduct a conversation respectfully and hung up the call. Immediately afterward, I spoke with my worker, and we both said- let's organize an event ourselves. We have the perfect network to organize a job fair... That was when we began planning our first annual job fair, leading us to our second one now! So, in the end, a good thing did come out of this man's talking - he was my motivation for creating the Macher Job Fair 😅 Still, it was a surprise to realize that there are still men out there who don't understand that we live in a different era. #MacherJobFair #WomenInBusiness #Empowerment #NetworkingEvent #ProfessionalGrowth

If you want to know how to do a Family Assembly the right way, ask me about how the Zoeller Family does it. This year they featured a job fair, a review and discussion of their FEAT (Family Enterprise Assessment Tool) results, and product demos for adults and children alike. The kids were totally into it! #familyassembly #familybusiness #familygovernance #familybusinessexcellence #familycohesion #capacitybuilding #Succession #familyenterprise #businesstransition #familybusinessgovernance #familycouncil #zoellerpumps #zoellercompany

As a career, or pursuit of study, financial services and planning, should be considered, strongly. No doubt, it takes aptitude and attitude, to make a go of it in the financial services profession. But. Such a career can also afford you a certain level of independence, and latitude, not to mention performance-based earnings, that should not be dismissed out of hand. At the very least, gaining, or improving, one's personal knowledge base on financial planning issues is incredibly helpful. And then, the prospect of being able to offer others, well-researched, well-presented, recommendations, that can help secure, or at least solidify, their financial future, can turn a job, into a vocation, highly valued.
