Senator Ossoff, If we sucked for 3 months It will take us at least that long to recover Once upon a time We lost $10k in one weekend Knowing how we got there was the start Inbound Peak starts in October Seasonal people should start by 10.01 We didn't do our Seasonal Job fair until 09.2x We brought on Seasonal people in DECEMBER But here's where we did something different Seasonals are normally spread evenly Across the 4 shifts You know, minimize the risk But this year, we decided to Atlanta Falcon-it "Let's let all the regular employees choose first And then backfill with all the Seasonals" I worked weekend night shift What do you think happened to my shift? I lost 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string POCs to a more desirable shift And ended up with ALL the Seasonal Hires Worst week, 20 new hires at once first day, was all classroom 12 hour shifts That's what? 240 hours Day 2 was half day classroom Another 120 hours Day 3, they slow down vets Easily lost another 120 hours 480, lets call it 475 hours in the hole (more like 500) Team, we will NOT break even next week That's an UNREALISTIC expectation But what we CAN do Better yet, what we CAN'T do is be the same 475 hours in the hole NEXT week We CAN'T lose more than 425 hours We'll get cussed out as long as we're losing Rome wasn't built in a day, nor was it destroyed in one Did they use actual curse words? No, but corporate cuss outs are worse We lost 425 hours the following weekend Okay, now we need to aim for 375 WE had our game plan and sights set And you guessed it, corporate cuss out Whatever Now lets go for 325 "You guys are underperforming. Sign this." Cool beans. 275 is the goal "You guys are dragging the building down." Whatever Following week 225 "How can you be engaged with paperwork on you?" You know how this ends By Week 10, we had broke even What happened the final 3 weeks was amazing As we faded Like at the end of The Sandlot I'm doing this to know how to do it in the future We had all the goofy shit in the recipe for disaster Like Week 3 trainees training Week 1 trainees The RPDC has been open THREE months So what if you're at 36% on-time. Perfect Change 2 or 3 things.. BOOM! 50% A few more things.. 65% Going from 36% to 90% Is more about NOT beating yourself Which is why I use the Atlanta Falcons example Did the RPDC try to go 100% to capacity Within the first 90 days of opening? It took Walmart over 2 years That's being generous A Million sq ft warehouse is not a government program Tax payers have nothing to do with the KPI You have to run it! For the last 19 years Every jacked up situation I've encountered I sent the action plan from my work email to myself I wrote the action plan these are not company secrets glide path, burndown, backlog oh my Getting Warehouses MORE thruput using the SAME hours. I offer a complimentary 30-minute discussion to walk through what that looks like for you. #strategy #business #creativity #innovation #xpandurangeamotion

What does Grassroots Grocery do during the week when we're not hosting our Saturday Produce Party? One major focus is our commitment to nurturing the future through regular produce deliveries to middle and high schools in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. A prime example of this commitment is our partnership with New Directions Secondary School, initiated by a committed school social worker, Jolyon Davis, LMSW,SIFI, who sought out resources for his students. Today marked a particularly special moment, bringing me back to my educational roots in the Bronx. This time, invited by Jolyon not for a produce delivery but to share insights from my career journey alongside a diverse group of professionals at the NDSS career fair. Speaking at this event was an opportunity to demonstrate the synergy between our weekday school deliveries and our vision for a healthier, empowered future for young minds. I hope that today I helped some students envision a future as rich and diverse as the produce we deliver. A heartfelt thank you to Jolyon for integrating Grassroots Grocery into the fabric of NDSS, and a shout-out to all the other professionals today for enriching the career fair with their insights and experiences. As Grassroots Grocery continues to bridge the gap between food access and education, every delivery, conversation, and partnership, especially ones like with NDSS, underscores our belief in the transformative power of community engagement. Together, we're not just feeding families; we're planting seeds of potential in the next generation. Let's keep building those bridges, one produce delivery and career fair at a time. #CommunityImpact #EmpoweringYouth #FutureLeaders #FoodJustice #BuildingBridges

You know that feeling of child-like excitement and anticipation leading up to a birthday or vacation? That’s exactly how I feel about one of my favorite events of the year: MIT Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP)'s Team Training Workshop. Sadly, I wasn’t able to make it this year, but my passion for this event and all it has to offer still remains. For those who aren’t familiar, MIT UPOP’s Team Training Workshop is an annual event designed to help students in the UPOP program hone their leadership skills through workshops, activities and hands-on learning opportunities, all culminating in a career fair at the end of the week-long program. It’s also a week I refer to as my “annual refresher” where I have the opportunity to connect with students, model the power of teamwork and even learn a little bit myself. Through the years, this event has deepened my love for mentoring in ways I never could have imagined. It's given me a chance to connect with each student on an individual level and work with them to craft their own career game plan. While the entire week is filled with amazing moments of learning and growth, the real cherry on top is their beaming faces after they nail their elevator pitch at the career fair. I’m always left in awe of the incredible talent these students possess—and that all they really need is a vote of confidence and a little push to get them going, and then they’re set. Having served on the advisory board for multiple years, I feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of such a transformative program. I also want to thank all the dedicated staff who go to great lengths to organize the event each year, as well as the mentors who always bring their A-game, especially Mariquita Blumberg, Ed Kessing, Andrew Sommer, Betsy Boyle, Tim Dove and Reza Rahaman. I’ll always be UPOP’s biggest fan and can’t wait to see all the greatness still to come through this program. For any MIT students interested, I highly encourage you to apply! #MITUPOP #MIT #Mentorship #Leadership #CareerFair

📓 Career-connected learning is mutually beneficial to learners, workers and employers, writes the Charles Koch Foundation. But what does career-connected learning really mean? It’s more than a single annual career fair or just asking students what they want to be when they grow up. 🎒 Catalyze, one of the nation’s largest communities of practice focused on career-connected learning, defines it as “a catalyst that can prepare learners to thrive in the modern world of work — first, by bridging the gap between student interest and industry need, and second, by introducing young people to fulfilling pathways that connect passion to career success.” Read the full piece at the link in the comments. ⤵️ #careerconnectedlearning #k12education #careereducation #professionaldevelopment

I've been getting a lot of questions about the event we're putting on, so I wanted to answer some of the most common ones: ✨ Is this a job fair? Technically, no. This event is a conversational roundtable featuring young people and professionals alongside employers and leaders. It's a chance to share perspectives about each other and discuss how we can overcome generational obstacles as a community. ✨ This event is FREE! Originally, we considered a fee to cover costs, but I wanted to be fair and absorb the cost as an investment. ✨ This is NOT confrontational. This isn't about hearsay. We'll be using statistics and key indicators observed within our community to facilitate discussion. ✨ Who's participating? We'll have students from high schools and colleges across the Springfield-Branson metro area. This includes international students, Springfield-Branson natives, and those planning to leave or enter the workforce. ✨ The goal? To share perspectives and find common ground.

Yes. Yes. I have become slightly obsessed with the NFL post Taylor & Kelce (but I am not the only one). However, working in Indian Sport for the last 15 years (Yes, and do not age me!) has exposed me to the Business side of the NFL. Sports Newsletters and American Websites have provided more and a lot more insight about the NFL - and it has been a fascinating learning experience that has been so awe inspiring. I want to know more and I want to see more because they are doing it so so well. This is just one of the examples of what they are getting right - building a platform to give their athletes a future to look forward to with dignity and respect. The professional athlete brings a lot to the boardroom table! What else could you expect from a Human Being who chases one goal constantly for years! They have built themselves to be focused, disciplined and so so resilient and they would be the perfect team player! Spaces for this are so essential for the Indian Athlete as well and I wish we could find a way to give them more than a 'coaches' job, or the 'Railways posting'. So much to learn and so much to think about what we can do and should be doing. Sport is collaborative and competitive - which is why it makes it so easy to want to learn from each other. (Also, welcome to the Chief's Kingdom. :))
