St. Patrick's Day- things to do and see! 🍀 St. Patrick's Day festivities can infuse the day with both cultural richness and a sense of community. Here's a strategy to maximize the celebration: 🌟 Begin with a local event. Many towns host parades and community gatherings. Begin your day with the local flair, experiencing the vibrant floats, music, and performances often dedicated to Irish culture. 🌈 Broaden your cultural knowledge while having fun. Dive into the history of St. Patrick's Day, perhaps through a book or documentary. Sharing this newfound knowledge can spark engaging conversations. 🎶 Embrace Irish music. Whether it means attending a live concert, listening to traditional Irish tunes, or even learning a jig or two, music is a powerful way to connect with the essence of the celebration. 🥘 Explore Irish cuisine. Try your hand at cooking traditional dishes like corned beef and cabbage, Irish stew, or soda bread. Share your culinary adventure or the final results in your post! 🤝 Connect with your Irish roots or create new traditions. If you have Irish ancestry, consider delving into your heritage, or if not, create new traditions with friends and family. 🏡 End the day reflecting on the connections made, the joy shared, and the memories created. Wrap up your post by emphasizing the spirit of unity that St. Patrick's Day can foster. #StPatricksDay #IrishCulture #CommunityCelebration In sharing your St. Patrick's Day activities, you offer a blend of personal involvement and cultural appreciation that resonates universally. It's about more than just a day on the calendar; it's an opportunity to celebrate heritage and community everywhere.

While (almost!) everyone is aware that people are different and that most seasoned professionals are trained in different personality styles, what is less obvious to grasp are our different motivational styles. In fact, the motivational core - what gives a person energy and drives them forward - is not the same for everyone. Knowing this is important because what energises a person has an impact on so many important things. The aim is to get to know each other and find out what fuels each of us. Mélissa Paij Séverine L.

Break Down the Expectations During Christmas, there can be a lot of pressure around how we should celebrate – including opening presents. Some may feel the need to do this in front of others, while others might prefer some quiet time to open them alone. It’s important to remember that there’s no right or wrong way to do it – it’s all about what makes you feel comfortable and joyful. What to consider: If opening presents in front of others feels overwhelming, consider breaking down this expectation. You could open them in smaller groups or even take time to open them privately. Allowing yourself this space can help reduce stress and increase enjoyment. Why it matters: This approach respects your boundaries and helps manage sensory overload, ensuring that the joy of giving and receiving presents doesn’t turn into a stressful experience. This Christmas, give yourself permission to open presents in a way that feels best for you. #ChristmasSelfCare #RespectYourBoundaries #NeurodivergentWellbeing #ManagingExpectations #PersonalChoice

#StPatricksDay was first observed around the 10th century and has since evolved into a celebration of Irish culture and heritage open to anyone. St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in more countries than any other single-day national festival, mainly due to America’s enthusiasm for what many consider a holiday. For those in the U.S. looking to celebrate properly, use the Irish toast “sláinte,” which translates to “good health.” 🍀 Are you going out to celebrate the day?? For St. Patrick’s Day, the nationaltoday.com/ data science team surveyed 1,000 Americans on how they plan to spend the day.

It's as simple as that. When you work in this industry, you learn to appreciate and see kindness in other people more than anything else. And that's why this industry is unlike any other! 💟 #hospitality #nycevents #nycstaffing #eventstaffing

Maps are inherently actionable! They're asking you to understand an area, get out there, see it for yourself. That's why we knew we had to build routes into PamPam. While it was one of our trickier features to build (and we're still improving it!), seeing how people use it has been worth the effort - from roadtrip planning to street festivals and parade routes. Take the upcoming Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, for example. Now organizers can show not just the route, but use icons and text to highlight the best viewing spots and areas to avoid. Planning a street festival, parade, or other community event? Happy to chat about how mapping could help. #CommunityEngagement #PublicSpaces
