As leaders we need to understand that there's a difference between being smart & being wise. A smart person knows the right things to say, while a wise person knows when it's best to stay quiet. It's all about understanding the impact of our words & knowing when silence speaks volumes. Let's strive to be both smart & wise in our conversations!

It takes more than just working together to make a team!!

In my world ~ good leaders CREATE safe work environments! To create a psychologically safe work environment, show your team that you are open to new ideas. In meetings, ask questions before posing answers & reward those who speak up by thanking them for their input or following up with additional queries. Consider all viewpoints when brainstorming solutions to difficult problems & make sure your team knows that there is no such thing as a...In my world ~ good leaders CREATE safe work environments!

When was the last time you called all of your team together, just to say thank you and to say something that you are grateful for about each one of them individually?

This is Merri Bear. She is a big, beautiful girl. When she stands on her hind feet, she is taller than the door frame.
She lives on my property with her 2 cubs. My new name is GoldieLocks! 😁😁

My residents come into the office often, especially since the Hurricane. One of them came up with the idea for this board. I love it.

The task of rebuilding after the flood, the wind & the landslides is daunting ~~ we are facing it with determination & hope. Every hand, every heart is coming together to clear the wreckage & rebuild not just structures, but LIVES. Folks are working tirelessly, shoulder to shoulder, with neighbors who before, were just faces & have now become partners in this effort. We are not just clearing the pathways & reconstructing, we are transforming,...The task of rebuilding after the flood, the wind & the landslides is daunting ~~ we are facing it with determination & hope. Every hand, every heart is coming together to clear the wreckage & rebuild not just structures, but LIVES. Folks are working tirelessly, shoulder to shoulder, with neighbors who before, were just faces & have now become partners in this effort. We are not just clearing the pathways & reconstructing, we are transforming, shaping a future of resilience, love & unity. It's hard work, but it's important work. Folks are choosing to rebuild, to create a city that rises stronger & more united than ever before. Folks are building a future filled with stories of love, caring, community & resilience.
To see the destruction in person is so different than seeing pictures. My emotions are still raw. I have a hard time sleeping. Thank you all for the out pouring of love that you have shown to me. Thank you all for the many donations that you have sent. They are being used, here, on the ground, helping folks.
You may donate through paypal or Zelle.

I read a quote somewhere that said ‘Your job might be special and a privilege, but it’s not what makes YOU special’!
Somewhere, over the years, I have realized that it is not healthy to have so much of our self worth tied up in something, like our job, that is essentially a means to an end ~ it is not WHO we are!
KNOW that your job is NOT your reason for being. KNOW that you have value with or without a job! Let's all learn to live in the...I read a quote somewhere that said ‘Your job might be special and a privilege, but it’s not what makes YOU special’!
