Celebrating Wellness and Growth with WINGS As we close out the year, I reflect with immense gratitude on the journey of WINGS and its impact on our community. One of the community project, Successful Ageing, (video below) holds a special place in my heart. It honors the unsung heroes—the first generation who migrated to the UK, contributing immensely to its economy while paving the way for a second generation of professionals and successful entrepreneurs. Sutton Coldfield Charitable Trust gave me the opportunity to create a space for this small community in Sutton Coldfield to connect, beat loneliness and bring shift in lifestyle for a healthier and happier progressive years. WINGS is serving the community through Funders as wings is more than just an acronym or a concept. It’s a movement—one rooted in Wellness, Inspiration, Growth, and Self-leadership. This year, we’ve celebrated many incredible moments: 🌟 Empowering individuals to embrace their personal growth journeys. 🌟 Strengthening bonds within communities through shared values and understanding. 🌟 Witnessing the transformative power of resilience and mindfulness in action. These stories remind us of the purpose behind WINGS: To uplift one another, create spaces for connection and healing, and champion wellness as a foundation for thriving lives and communities. As we celebrate this journey together, I encourage you to reflect: How can we continue to integrate the spirit of WINGS into our personal lives, families, and professional spaces? What can we do to ensure our communities continue to flourish? To everyone who has been part of this journey—thank you. Let’s keep soaring together, creating a brighter, more connected future. #WINGS #CommunityWellness #SuccessfulAgeing #GrowthMindset #Leadership #Celebration

Just released at the 3rd annual Wellness Real Estate & Communities Symposium in New York, the "Wellness Real Estate: Market Growth (2019-2023) and Future Developments" report from the nonprofit Global Wellness Institute (GWI) reveals that wellness real estate has been by far the fastest-growing market in the 11-sector wellness economy in recent years, surging from $225 billion in 2019 to $438 billion in 2023. To put that 18.1% recent growth rate in perspective, the annual growth rate for overall global construction was only 5.1%. This report is free to download for all, thanks to the generous donations made by individuals and organizations to the nonprofit GWI, the leading global research and educational resource for the global wellness industry. Thank you to the GWI research team for all their hard work on this groundbreaking new research. https://loom.ly/TTnkhMk #WRECS #communities #realestate #globalwellness #growth #topics #wellness #symposium #community

Not all time off has to involve passports and sandy beaches (though I highly recommend them! 😉). Staycations can be just as rejuvenating if you do them right. Vacation: A chance to disconnect and explore new places. Staycation: A chance to rest, reset, and reconnect with yourself or loved ones at home. Tips for both: ✨ Plan activities that bring you joy. ✨ Unplug from work completely. ✨ Make it intentional—no chores or errands allowed! Which do you prefer, staycation or vacation? Let me know! #StaycationOrVacation #TakeYourTimeOff #WorkLifeHarmony #NonprofitLife #SelfCareForLeaders #LeadershipMatters #RestAndRecharge

Pat Shea, founder of Being Giveful, opens our thinking about the wellness practice of being mindful and #giving in the #nonprofit world. Her philosophy of being "Giveful" is about more than just #financialgiving; it involves small, everyday #actsofkindness and openness to receiving. Take a look at https://buff.ly/3Uy0obd #AFPNYC

August is a month filled with opportunities to enhance your #companyculture. Here are a couple of ideas to kickstart the momentum for you and your team: To Do: - Conduct a PTO audit: With five months remaining in the year, ensure your team is utilizing their earned PTO. Encourage them to plan a vacation before the year ends. - Keep promises: Revisit commitments made during annual reviews such as training or mentorship. Ensure you are on track before the Q4 crush. Upcoming Holidays: - 8/2: International Beer Day, National Ice Cream Sandwich Day, National Water Balloon Day. (Celebrate all three to make HR's day) - 8/4: National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day - 8/10: National Bowling Day - Team bonding opportunity - 8/16: National Hawaiian Shirt Day (Special mention to Bill Lundburg) Service Opportunity: Consider donating school supplies or adopting a teacher to give back to the community. August is also National Wellness Month, presenting a great chance to reboot any wellness initiatives that may have been forgotten. Let's prioritize wellness, take those steps, and perhaps indulge in an ice cream sandwich. #CompanyCulture #WellnessMonth #EmployeeEngagement

Food serves as a powerful community connector by bringing people together to share experiences, celebrate cultural traditions, and build relationships. Whether through communal meals, family gatherings, or cultural festivals, food fosters connection and understanding across diverse backgrounds. This week's wellness practice: call a family member or friend, gather the recipe for a beloved holiday dish, and learn to make it-nourishing both your heart and your connections. —— MVP-PRO is a collection of concepts, topics, questions, and practices designed to move us all forward, increase our wellness, and build a stronger foundation for the people we deserve to be and the lives we deserve to live. Every week, our huddles will have the opportunity to go deeper into these principles and practices. Each MVP-PRO ends with a wellness practice because the real, lasting change happens in the space between the huddles.

As fundraisers, our work isn't merely a job—it's a passion, a calling, a commitment to making a positive impact in the world. 🌍❤️ Our days are filled with: - Building meaningful relationships 🤝 - Crafting compelling narratives 📜 - Securing crucial funding for the causes we believe in 💰 We pour our hearts and souls into our work, often at the expense of our own well-being. In this fast-paced and ever-demanding field, the idea of taking a vacation and disconnecting from work may seem like a foreign concept. However, it's precisely in these moments of stepping away that we can truly reconnect with ourselves. 🧘♀️ Taking time off isn't just about relaxation; it's an investment in our mental and emotional health, ensuring that we return with renewed energy and creativity to continue making a difference. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g3VbKZUy #Fundraising #Nonprofit #WellBeing #SelfCare #WorkLifeBalance

Start the year with progress, not perfection. 🌟 A new year is the perfect time to refocus and set meaningful health goals—but what if this year was about enjoying the journey, not chasing impossible standards? Think about what excites you. Maybe it’s building strength to walk longer distances, having more energy to play with the kids, or finally training for that charity ride you’ve always dreamed of. When goals are personal, realistic, and tailored to your life, they become more than tasks—they’re steps in a journey you’ll actually love. This year, celebrate every small win and prioritize progress over perfection. Consistency leads to real, lasting change. Let’s make this year your healthiest and happiest yet. 💪 #FreshStart #WellnessJourney #SetYourGoals #HealthyHabits #RealisticGoals #PersonalGrowth #AchieveYourBest #MotivateYourself #MyHealthTeam #InspiredLiving

I believe in the power of community engagement and wellness. Being part of this project has been so inspiring with the immense dedication, efforts, small miracles, and sheer enthusiasm for a shared goal within my community. Part of my value & goal system is being a well rounded human, not being solely defined by one of my characteristics labels (lab, mom, wife etc.). We are defined by more than just our “9-5”. An inability to balance out these realities is when we see “dis”ease creep in, depression, anxiety, and issues with wellness. Humans intrinsically want to be more than just their job. A little plug, if you’re local and are interested in volunteering, check out the link below. For those who are not, consider in your wellness plans how you are not only doing the fun wellness activities at work that are important for team building, but also what are you doing to allow people to be a more full representation of themselves outside of work. https://lnkd.in/gVhtNQQs https://lnkd.in/gYfFvPPP
