What a brilliant employment week! The idea behind employment week is for our 16+ members to enter a variety of workplace settings to explore different employability routes they might want to take. During the week our members have a chance to ask questions, experience a workplace setting and understand what a working day might feel like. If you are part of a business or know a business that would like to get involved in future employment weeks please drop me a message. #employment #employmentweek #downsyndrome

This was one of my favorite HRACRE (Hampton Roads Association for Commercial Real Estate) meetings. My favorite part was learning how they research trends to implement into their properties. Thanks The Breeden Company for having us! #propertymanagement #commercialrealestate #collegeintern

Customer service book lists are awesome. One bit of advice: you don't have to read them all. 1. Focus on one specific customer service challenge. 2. Pick the book that can best help you solve it. 3. Apply what you learn from the book as you go. For example, The Effortless Experience is fantastic if your goal is reducing customer friction. Never Lose a Customer Again is perfect if you want to retain customers through effective onboarding. Hug Your Haters is excellent for turning negative feedback into opportunities for growth. Who should read my book, The Service Culture Handbook? It's for leaders who want to get their organization (or team) obsessed with customer service. The book is a step-by-step guide for building a service culture. Thanks for putting this together, Max!

Ready for the Superbowl? From all of tonight’s event-related content one could read these days, this is the piece that struck me most. Taking the entire staff -including interns, of course- to Vegas is a great way to acknowledge their hard work and contributions. After all, an organization's success is a collective effort, and celebrating as a team is crucial in building the culture that got you there, and that will guide you through those times in which you don´t make it to your own Superbowl. #teamworkmatters

I did a thing recently. I presented to colleagues and shared our Smith Family Work Inspirations program experience at Collins SBA. Speaking to a group of Girl Guides or young people... sure. But a group of colleagues or peers? That's a whole new challenge. Inspired by Andrea Garland and The Smith Family, we went down memory lane and guessed each other's first paid job, before diving into why the Work Inspirations Program is important to us at Collins SBA. So, why is this program important to me and the team? ⭐ CLARITY: To provide support to students to navigate the beginning of their careers. ⭐ CONFIDENCE: It takes courage to learn and grow - it's ok to ask for help. ⭐ CONTROL: A reminder that they are in control of their goals. 📸: Amanda Jones
