Sharing your wins is not boasting, it’s acknowledging your hard work and sharing your story. Visibility is one of the keys to success, and no one can champion you more than you can. Raise your hand, volunteer, provide solutions, reach out to offer support - and do it excellently. Here’s your new week reminder to celebrate your journey.

For every accolade you see on the outside, there's a whole bunch of people and things that happened behind-the-scenes to make that happen. Case and point: This past Tuesday, Victoria Marshman & Dani S Kagan, Founders of Mave & Chez luxury ergonomic slippers (which, if you don't have a pair yet, GET. A. PAIR), invited me for lunch to help brainstorm the growth of my REUNION dance party with them. They sponsored one of our REUNION Dance Parties this Summer and left feeling so inspired and alive while saying, "What's your big dream with this? We want to help you make it happen". And so, this Tuesday, we did just that. They offered a ton of amazing ideas. Suggested a list of people I should connect with + offered to connect me with them, Then paid for MY lunch. I walked away thinking: "Huh?!?!!?" How, and why did that happen? It felt too good to be true. But, building and growing REUNION is showing me the true value of community and collaboration. And, that, when you build something straight from the heart, and lead with integrity, people WANT to help. In just 10 months, we've been able to celebrate a lot of wins with REUNION, including a huge feature on Narcity this week. But, one thing I know for sure, is that none of this would be possible without all of the people and support that happens behind-the-scenes.

Hey LinkedIn fam! 🌟 Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! 🇺🇸 Whether you're kicking back with a BBQ or catching some rays at the beach, I hope you're enjoying every moment with your loved ones. But let's take a quick pause to remember what this day is all about – honoring the brave men and women who have served our country with unwavering courage and dedication. Their sacrifices allow us to live the lives we love, and for that, we are forever grateful. 🙏 Now, let's chat about something near and dear to my heart – family businesses. 💼 Memorial Day isn't just about fireworks and fun; it's also the perfect time to reflect on the importance of family businesses and well-being. Here's why I think Memorial Day is the best part of the year for family business and well-being: 1 Family Bonding: Memorial Day brings families together, and what better time to celebrate the unity and strength of family businesses? 2 Reflecting on Values: It's a chance to reflect on the values that drive our family businesses and how they contribute to our well-being. 3 Gratitude and Growth: Expressing gratitude for our team members and recognizing their contributions fosters a positive work environment and promotes growth. 4 Work-Life Balance: Memorial Day reminds us to prioritize work-life balance and take time to recharge with our loved ones. As we honor our heroes and celebrate the spirit of family, let's also celebrate the resilience and dedication of our family businesses. Here's to making memories, cherishing moments, and building a brighter future together! 🎉 And hey, if you're up for a chat about business, brainstorming ideas, or just connecting with a fellow LinkedIn enthusiast, I'm all ears! Let's connect and see how we can support each other's endeavors. 🚀

As another year draws to a close, let’s take a moment to celebrate our achievements and look forward to some well-deserved rest. Making it through the year is achievement enough! Spare a thought for those who may not be as fortunate—those for whom work is their only refuge, and this break brings them to an unhappy or unsafe place. Think of those who have no one to come home to, for whatever reason, or those without the means to celebrate. In these challenging times, some may feel they have little to be grateful for. Take a moment to appreciate all that you have and treasure each moment, as there are no repeats. While this reminder applies year-round, this season makes it especially meaningful. Reach out to someone who might be struggling—a call, a text, or a message can make all the difference, letting them know they’re not alone. And above all, remember: whenever you have the chance, be kind.

How to Become a More Thankful Person

How to Become a More Thankful Person

This is an emergent phenomenon of privilege passing down from pre-Independence era. This is proof that reservation laws in India have not been effective to achieve its objectives, to bring about equality in society as per the preamble of the constitution of the country. Imagine that you are in the desert, and you want to get out of the desert, there is a road, and you are in a car that breaks down every 10 km. Can the solution ever involve burning the car down? No, even if the car is not perfect, burning the car, unless you get a better car does not make sense. And it does not make sense to burn the car first and check afterwards if other solutions exist. In the same way, doing away with reservation is not a solution, but either repairing the reservation mechanisms, with oversight or getting a better system that allows at least 95% of backward classes to come economically, socially and intellectually at the same level as the national average for dominant castes is a viable solution.

🌟Always Be Grateful, Yet Strive for Progress🌟 In our journey through life, it’s essential to maintain a balance between gratitude for what we have and the drive to achieve more. Gratitude anchors us, reminding us of the progress we've made and the blessings we've received. It's a powerful reminder that contentment isn't found in accumulating more, but in appreciating what we already possess. Yet, this doesn't mean we should stop pushing forward. A progressive mindset allows us to see beyond our current circumstances, encouraging us to grow, learn, and evolve. The key is to channel that ambition without losing sight of the present. “Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” – Melody Beattie Let’s celebrate our achievements and be thankful for the opportunities we’ve had, while also setting new goals and striving for even greater heights. Remember, it's possible to be both content and ambitious—grateful for today, but always working towards a better tomorrow. #Gratitude #Progress #Mindset #Growth #Leadership #PersonalDevelopment #Success #Motivation #Inspiration #CareerGrowth #SelfImprovement #Ambition #PositiveThinking #Balance #LifeGoals
