This Thanksgiving, we at Build Up Companies take time to reflect on gratitude, community, and the values that guide our work. We are grateful for the opportunity to work to break cycles of injustice and inequity by advocating for the rights of vulnerable groups. We renew our deep respect for and solidarity with Indigenous communities, in particular, recognizing that this holiday carries complex and often painful histories. We further reaffirm our commitment to building an equitable future that respects and uplifts all people. Our mission to interrupt cycles of injustice is guided by our core values: bravery, the pursuit of excellence, lifelong learning, and a dedication to true relationship-building. As we work to foster equity and justice, we’re inspired to show up authentically and stand for meaningful change, even when the work is challenging. This season, we extend our gratitude to our partners, clients, and the communities we serve. Together, we’re creating a world where gratitude is more than a feeling—it’s an active commitment to justice, respect, and the well-being of every community.

You must start with the man in the mirror Creating a forward-thinking society begins with individual actions that inspire collective change. Start by modeling positive behaviors in your community, such as volunteering for local initiatives, organizing clean-up events, or supporting local businesses. Encourage open dialogue about societal issues and collaborate with neighbors to identify common goals, promoting inclusivity and shared responsibility. Utilize social media and community boards to raise awareness about sustainable practices, educational opportunities, and health initiatives. By fostering a culture of kindness, respect, and proactive engagement, you can motivate others to join in these efforts, creating a ripple effect that leads to a more supportive and progressive environment for everyone. Remember, small actions can lead to significant change when they inspire others to contribute to a better future.

In today's fast-paced world, we often overlook the immense power of community. When we empower those around us, we not only uplift individuals but also create a ripple effect that enhances the entire ecosystem. ✨ Why Empowerment Matters: Strength in Unity: When community members support each other, we cultivate a sense of belonging and shared purpose. This collaboration fosters innovation and drives collective growth. Diverse Perspectives: Empowering diverse voices leads to richer ideas and solutions. Each unique perspective adds value, sparking creativity that can lead to groundbreaking initiatives. Sustainable Growth: By investing in our community, we build resilience. Empowered individuals are more likely to contribute positively, ensuring long-term success for everyone involved. Building a vibrant COMMUNITY of DIY financial planners is at the forefront of our minds. And we cannot wait to offer you all this... Pretire: Coming Soon

🌟 Holding Space: Empathy in Action 🌟 Reflecting on the profound impact of "holding space" in both receiving and giving, I recognise the power of genuine presence and empathetic listening. Grateful for the support from listening partners over the years, it's clear to me how vital this practice is in navigating life's challenges. Extending this gift to others is crucial, especially in moments of vulnerability. Whether it's work hurdles or personal struggles, holding space allows for authentic acknowledgment of emotions. I believe everyone deserves this kind of compassionate support, from sadness to joy. It's a privilege to be able to offer this to our learners, fostering growth and healing. Recently, my daughter demonstrated this by comforting a hurt child. Though her efforts were overlooked, her understanding of holding space shines brightly. Let's continue cultivating empathy and support in our communities. #HoldingSpace #Empathy #Support #Community #GroupTutor #SupportandSupervision

Dear Groundwork Community, I recently reflected on the concept of activism and how it inherently stems from a reactive stance—a response to the challenges and injustices that surround us. While activism is crucial, I want to share thoughts on a more grounded approach to creating lasting change. Cultivating a sense of inner stability before diving into action is transformative. When we find that steadiness within ourselves, it allows us to act from a place of non-resistance. The focus shifts from personal reactions to what is best for the community, the situation, and the most effective way to engage with the issue. One of the remarkable aspects of cultivating internal stability is the clarity it brings to our actions. Acting from a stable inner state opens us to creativity and a broader perspective. It allows us to see beyond survival mode and strategize more effectively, considering the small gaps that can be closed incrementally for progress. In a world often marked by reactivity, establishing ourselves at the level of being provides the clarity needed to identify and address the small gaps in our path. Instead of being overwhelmed by the future, we can concentrate on taking one step at a time, ensuring that each action is informed, purposeful, and aligned with our collective vision for a better tomorrow. Let's continue to thrive as a community, acting with clarity, purpose, and a shared commitment to positive change. With ease, Amrita Ahuja Founder, Groundwork

Do you think this is why the workforce and labor pool behaves as it does? Is this what could be lacking from incoming generations? “I heard my mother asking the neighbors for salt. But we had salt at home. I asked her why she asked the neighbors for salt. And she replied, 'Because our neighbors don't have a lot of money, and they often ask us for something. From time to time, I also ask them for something small and inexpensive, so they feel that we need them too. This way, they will feel more comfortable and it will be easier to continue asking us for everything they need.' And that's what I learned from my mother... let's raise empathetic, humble, and supportive children with too many values to mention.” -Unknown author- Values like empathy and humility significantly impact the workforce by fostering a culture of mutual support and understanding. This approach encourages a more collaborative and inclusive environment, where individuals feel valued and empowered to contribute. This story highlights the importance of nurturing these values from a young age, suggesting such qualities can lead to a more empathetic and supportive workforce. #values #character #workforce

I was so frustrated recently that "nobody gets it!" and felt very alone and isolated in my vision for creating a chain reaction to unite all of humanity in community I've since learned to be patient, and instead of directing my energy to what I don't have, looking at what I do and what I need to get there. Some of those things are finding other people who are ready to take action. One of those is Joe Molloy, who we are partnering with with Villej to create a neurodivergent economic ecosystem and provide social safety nets for ourselves in community. I'm also looking at where my weaknesses are in getting my message across, and learning to ask for help in those areas. I mean, the whole point is kinda the process! And the whole point is community. I can't do it on my own, and so part of showing the world how to help cocreate this chain reaction is learning to work together in community, learning to ask for help, teaching cocreation to others. So I'm getting help with the pitch to take to HelpBnk next week. Simon Squibb asks "What is your dream?" but I'm going there to pitch our shared dream. We have a dream of being able to do what we love, supported in community in the pursuit of our passions while cocreating a better world for everyone, where everyone is valued, money and status don't matter, in spaces that are safe and help cultivate our growth and happiness. This is all part of making it happen. We will find belonging along the way ❤️ #WeHaveaDream #MakeItCommunity #GiveWithoutTake #CommunityWealth
