Very proud of the Recreation industry (which aquatics falls under) for tackling this ever-growing topic. With opportunities for hands-on work that includes meaningful interactions with others, as well as variety in learning opportunities, recreation roles definitely attract many neurodivergent people. Passionate about their careers as they may be, it doesn’t make their challenges any less difficult. Chances are, you already know someone who is considered neurodivergent—but it can be difficult to tell, as rather gifted neurodivergent individuals figure out ways to hide their “differences” in order to fit in. Take a listen—you may learn how to help a fellow colleague.
It's the last episode of 2023 and we're closing out the year with two AMAZING guests 🎙️
Cort and Christina chat with Kande Jones, the Director of Development for the Mulvane Recreation Commission in Mulvane, KS, and Dave McDaniel III, the Operations Coordinator for the City of Mobile Parks and Recreation Department.
Kande and Dave were two of the speakers at the Neurodiversity and Inclusive Workplaces: Insights From Park and Recreation Professionals during our Annual Conference in Dallas.
In this episode we recap their session at our Annual Conference, discuss Kande and Dave's perspectives as neurodivergent park and recreation professionals, how to build welcoming spaces, why parks and recreation can be an attractive field, and a LOT more.

I can't express strongly enough how important Jesse Cole's mantra of Fans First should be incorporated in how we interact with donors and how admissions should interact with prospective students and families in the private educational sector.
You may have the best glossy brochures or produced videos, but they all fall short on the personal interactions you have with your donors and families. These interactions are game changers. They are the difference between getting a gift or having a student enroll in your school. The student ambassador who connects with a child during a visit to campus or taking the time to have coffee with a new parent and sharing personally the incredible impact giving has on your school - moves mountains.
If you haven't taken a moment to check out Fans First or check out the Savanah Bananas - you should make it your summer reading. It's a game changer.

Fenway Park was the biggest challenge we've ever had as an organization. Before the game, we had our Fans First chat with over 200 plus employees, players and cast members and I shared with the team how we could be our best in the moment.
From Day 1, I've always believed in focusing on the fans first. But when facing real adversity, we often need more than just that mindset as our north star. We need to know how to put the fan first. What I've learned is that the greatest performers know how to slow things down. When things speed up, they can focus even better on what's in front of them in that moment.
I shared how while we would have the most eyes on us we've ever had, it was the eyes right in front of us that mattered most.
My goal was for everyone to take the extra time with fans, embrace the moments and truly be present. If we did that and focused on one fan at a time, everything else would take care of itself.
After the game, I was truly proud of everyone on our team. I heard countless fans first stories and moments shared by our group and by fans all over social media. With every challenge, we get better and learn more. But who we are, what we stand for and the heart of this organization will never change.
This speech and video is a Master Class in how executives and leaders should communicate with their people.
And build their brands at the same time.
What about this speech resonated with you?

(Please don’t watch to the end - it’s embarrassing…as if a sweaty, post-run video isn’t embarrassing enough!!). I love parkrun - the community, the support, the camaraderie, the consistency and certainty that it is always there.
I hope the FRANK Community can offer a similar supportive environment for navigating life. Yes, it is online initially but the intention is it will grow organically through connection and recommendation and face-to-face events will happen in the future where we can show up and meet ourselves where we are at and not compare to where others are on their journeys.
I hope FRANK will become a platform for learning and growth, practice and confidence building, exploration and innovation.
Where we can face our fears, build resilience, keep accomplishing throughout life, nurture ourselves and each other and find kinship in the community. In other words, BE FRANK:
FEARLESS
RESILIENT
ACCOMPLISHING
NURTURING
KIND

Incredible video from Jesse Cole from the Savannah Bananas at Fenway Park talking about seizing the opportunity, slowing things down and giving the fans their moment!
Although this is about baseball and showmanship, I cannot help but relate to how this simple theory of slowing down, being in the moment and personalizing the moment matters in healthcare. And as we embark on the new Medicare GUIDE model for Alzheimer's and dementia care, the aspect of personalizing care and slowing down will become even more important.
At PocketRN, we believe that nurse lead care is the key to driving ongoing, sustainable outcomes because nurses are the changemaker's, the empathetic people who relate, listen and care. Nurses personalize care delivery by focusing on things that matter to the patient. The things that a patient can relate to, and the needed motivation patients and their caregivers need to be involved! So, even though this video is about baseball, it is also about slowing down and being impactful!
Cheers to all the nurses, athletes, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals and good humans out there who are making a difference and personalizing experiences, one person at a time.
