Brigid's Day | Lá Fhéile Bríde For just over a year now, I have felt Brigid's knock on the door; she has crossed the threshold from her world into mine in many ways. My middle name is Brigid, so I feel Brigid-centred. I was born on the 9th of February, not long after her feast day. I come from a long line of Brigid's. My maternal grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother are and were all Brigid's, to name but a few connections. When my mother passed away in January last year, there was just one thing that I wanted of hers, and that was her St Brigid’s Cross. I didn't know why at the time, but I can engage in its symbolism now. The celebration of Brigid's Day as a national holiday in Ireland underscores the significance of embracing change and transition. Brigid embodies the duality of many spiritual traditions and symbolises the threshold, the space between two opposites. Participating in this liminal space, perhaps through deeper exploration of ourselves, through intuitive practices, invoking Imbas, active imagination, dream analysis, and communing with nature could help initiate this, allowing us to gain self-awareness and a deeper understanding of humanity and the other-than-human world. Through arts and culture, we can explore thresholds and gain insights into our emotions and experiences to navigate transformation and change. However, contemporary Irish society faces challenges, such as a lack of meaningful rites of passage, a loss of connection with our inner selves, hustle culture, and environmental apathy. Addressing these issues by promoting structured rituals and preserving natural rhythms can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling future. We can create a more harmonious and thriving society by recognising the importance of embracing transition and change while preserving cultural traditions. Brigid reminds us that navigating transitional periods can lead to self-discovery and that exploring thresholds offers a rich metaphor for exploring a wide range of human experiences and emotions. #BrigidsDay #Imbolc #InnerWisdom #Inspiration #GoddessBrigid #Imbas #JuniganPsychology #creativity #ireland #StBrigidsDay

THIS. Let's imagine a world where this is the foundation of how organizations operate, period. This is what I believe in. We use sports analogies and metaphors in learning and development workshops all the time. We talk about inspiring our kids and making them our future. What if we did this with our employees and each other? What if it applied outside of kids sports, or sports in general. What if we gave it a try? What are you already doing that aligns with this way of thinking and being? "When a team has your back, something awesome happens" - That's right! "When you belong, you believe" - Exactly. What will you take from this incredible short video, and apply to your workplace today? Jays Care Foundation Thank you for this beautifully curated campaign. This is the world I believe in.
When you belong, you believe. We've launched a national campaign focused on building a Canada where kids of all backgrounds and all abilities have a place on a team where they belong. 💙 Learn more at jayscare.com/belong

A great conversation with some one today around the impact we can all have as individuals who genuinely care about each other. Chance encounters and conversations as well as focussed reviews and monitoring can save lives. They had never heard this poem before and I found this one on Youtube from the Heathrow team. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Text below of anyone feels like they want to use it. I Could Have Saved A Life That Day By: Don Merrell I could have saved a life that day, But I chose to look the other way. It wasn’t that I didn’t care; I had the time, and I was there. But I didn’t want to seem a fool, Or argue over a safety rule. I knew he’d done the job before; If I spoke up he might get sore. The chances didn’t seem that bad; I’d done the same, he knew I had. So I shook my head and walked by; He knew the risks as well as I. He took the chance, I closed an eye; And with that act, I let him die. I could have saved a life that day, But I chose to look the other way. Now every time I see his wife, I know I should have saved his life. That guilt is something I must bear; But isn’t’ something you need to share. If you see a risk that others take That puts their health or life at stake, The question asked or thing you say; Could help them live another day. If you see a risk and walk away, Then hope you never have to say, “I could have saved a life that day, But I chose to look the other way.” #safety #hsse #hse #intervention #care #speakup #iosh #osh https://lnkd.in/ektpXYWU

What a topic to tackle: volunteer comfort and care . . . I'm still mulling over some of my takeaways from the conversation, including 🫂 - responsible comfort and care of our volunteers is about relationships and culture more than policy. Individuals have different needs; we need to entrench a culture of checking in, encouraging/respecting boundaries, asking for feedback, celebrating as a team. 🍶- even though, being intentional about the minimum standards for comfort, and caring for the physical, social, cultural and psychological wellness of the volunteer is a program responsibility and should be codified. If they're doing the work they need to have the tools to do it, and the resources to do it safely. Water and hats on hot days; checking in after an emotionally taxing responses. How does this look at your organization? 🤝 - volunteer comfort and care is embedded across the volunteer lifecycle. It starts with solid understanding of the scope of work and appropriate placement, continues as we provide training and enable the work, and is ever present in how we appreciate volunteers, how they engage with the work, etc, etc. Just like justice, equity, diversity and inclusion work, comfort and care isn't a project or initiative on the side, it's to be entrenched and cultural. Thanks Alex and Kamak for the super conversation this morning!
This morning, I had the pleasure of moderating Association of Volunteer Management Professionals Nova Scotia (VMPNS)’s monthly network meeting which explored the topic of Volunteer Comfort and Care. The panelists, Kanak Bal from Korean K9 Rescue and Emily Masse from Canadian Red Cross shared the different ways that they support their volunteers fulfill their organization’s mission. Thank you for your insights, Kanak and Emily!

Most ISPs approach customer problems with an “us” vs “them” mentality. We know better, and work diligently leveraging our vast array of cutting-edge network management tools and comprehensive training programs to resolve issues quickly, and without assigning blame. This "solutions first" approach is but one thing that makes us unique, and it's part of what we do that results in an extraordinary customer experience.
Today we want to take a moment to send a shoutout to our CSR of the month for July 2023! This month we had a fierce competition, ultimately ending in a tie between Yesica M. and Martin S. Thank you for all you do to keep our clients and residents happy and thriving by embodying compassionate support!
