AmeriCorps’ Post

As we approach the end of another year I see posts of many people signing off from successful careers. Sometimes after a break people look to maintain an interest and I know a place that you would make a huge difference that would fill your soul knowing you are making a genuine impact. As an Adult volunteer for Scouts Victoria in the role of Region Commissioner I can assure you that your skills or interests could be utilised and appreciated being your wildest imagination. There are so many things we do to ensure we can provide something special for the future leaders in the world. Age, background, gender or beliefs are no barrier and best of all you don’t have to have been a Scout, we are inclusive, especially of people with passion to make a difference. If you are looking for a way to give back or pay it forward we would love to have a chat about how it could be what you are looking for. Happy if you want to message me through LinkedIn. All roles are voluntary as is mine. And even if your career is still in action and you are looking for what you could do outside of your professional life to fill your soul, guess what, we also have an adventure for you. Thanks for reading, or responding, or reposting as the next generations would be so grateful of what you might do for them. 🙏 #finance #marketing #construction #leadership #grants #communityengagement #community #volunteering #innovation #informationtechnology

Some of us are hyper competitive. Learning, growing, and building the life we want is the ultimate compulsion. All good things, but there is a difference between achievement and fulfillment. In Jesse-land achievement is all about the trophies, promotions, and bonuses: translation achievement is all about me. fulfillment is about sharing making gifts and talents in service to others. This mental model is how I broke the "first to arrive and last to leave" mindset. Because who cares if I get there before everyone else, if my efforts arent contributing to significant impact. who cares if I work all the hours, no one gets perfect attendance ribbons anymore. The #NoBStribe is a #community filled with professionals that are on the path to serve others and leave this world better than they found it. You are invited to come join us this Saturday on No BS with Jen & Jess at 8am Central. #construction #lifelessons #relationships #DEMOthedivide #serveothers

A great lesson to learn The beaver and peacock work together. They both work to help their community meet their deliverables. Throughout the year, the beaver’s primary focus is to get the work done and share the great news about the success of his people. The beaver wants everyone to know who does the work. The peacock, on the other hand, often pays a visit to those people responsible for running the community and shares his work (spreading his colorful tail). The beaver does not care who gets the credit as long as the work gets done. When the time came to determine the next step for their community, the peacock was selected to lead the group. The moral of the story: work hard and promote your people, but don’t ever sell yourself short. Share the work you did to help make it happen. Remember that you also contributed to the overall success. Be a beaver, but learn something from the peacock. A valuable lesson learned from 2023.

I have been working with public libraries for a long time and currently about half of my clients are public libraries. I work with the CEOs, boards, and senior management as a leadership coach and as a facilitator for team gatherings, strategic discussions, and board development. This piece from Tommi Laitio captures what I am witnessing as the heart of leadership succession/recruitment, retainment, and growth challenges and opportunities: 📌 What is the unique role and value of the public library? In other words, what is the calling or why would I want to have a career in public library leadership? 📌 How do I show up for the success of the public library, for myself, for those around me, and for the communities we serve? 📌 How and where do I gather my resources (internally and externally), for doing this work? Public libraries are cherished community organizations with a unique role and value built on equitable access, privacy, and intellectual freedom. They are for everyone and I'm here for them. So much love for public libraries and the people who open their doors every day. 💖 #PublicLibraries #DoingLeadershipDifferently

A Glimpse into My Consultation Journey at The Villages Community Church This week, I find myself deeply immersed in the vibrant community of The Villages Community Church in Orlando, Florida. My role here is more than just a consultant; it's about being a catalyst for transformation. The process began long before my arrival, with the church conducting extensive surveys and gathering crucial data. My focus now is on understanding the heartbeat of this church – through conversations with staff, key leaders, and even casual chats with local community members. It's a journey to discover the church's reputation, the aspirations and challenges of its people, and the nuances that make this community unique. My goal is to understand the church beyond numbers, to hear the stories and dreams that pulse through its veins. This understanding is vital in crafting strategies and processes that resonate with their mission and vision. Change is often a challenging path for many churches, but it's also an opportunity for growth and renewal. My experience has shown that with the right approach, churches can navigate these transitions smoothly, leveraging key moments to foster significant development and outreach. This week is about laying the groundwork for such change, about understanding the soul of The Villages Community Church, and guiding them towards realizing their full potential in serving and reaching their community for Jesus Christ. If your church is seeking transformation and growth, let's connect. Schedule a Consultation.
