Thank you to everyone who registered and attended our amazing May Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion conversation!  Your wisdom and your experiences were powerful; thank you for sharing. Let's harness our collective power to inspire those around us to confidently support DE&I efforts. Remember, every small action and every voice raised in solidarity has the potential to make a significant difference. Together, we can shape a more inclusive world for all. This is one of the biases we talked about: BEAUTY BIAS -- Beauty bias refers to the tendency to favor individuals who adhere to traditional beauty standards, often leading to discrimination against those who do not fit within these narrow parameters. It is crucial for us to acknowledge and challenge this bias in our workplaces and communities, creating space for all individuals to thrive regardless of their physical appearance. By recognizing the harmful impact of beauty bias and taking active steps to combat it, we can create a more inclusive and equitable environment for everyone. Let us strive to celebrate the unique beauty in every individual and work towards a more just and inclusive society. #coaching #training #transition #military #veteran

The Six Tripple Eight attitude! That’s how I am wrapping 2024 and marching boldly in 2025! It’s very rare for me to have a notebook while watching a movie - but this MUST SEE #TylerPerry genius piece on #Netflix got me glued in and scribbling. For context- “The Six Triple Eight,” directed by Tyler Perry, tells the inspiring true story of the #6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—the only all-Black, all-female Women’s Army Corps unit deployed overseas during World War II. Their mission was to clear a massive backlog of undelivered mail, crucial for maintaining soldiers’ morale. Despite facing racism, sexism, and challenging conditions, these women completed their task in just three months, half the expected time. From the dusty drill yard, into the mailing room to the grave site - I took #KerryWashington (acting as Major Charity Adams’s commands) as my immediate principle #Takeaways for 2025. ✅ No need to be good in 2025 - I have every reason to be better towards best! ✅ I will look alive daily ✅ I have the most to prove ✅I will give my best and get moving ✅ I will show I have some fight in me ✅ I will pick up the pace ✅ I have orders to march and marching I shall ✅At ease Soldier - I will give myself grace and rest. ✅Look perfect - I will dress and look my best. And finally ✅Over my dead body - never will I stoop low in any circumstance! I WILL NOT FAIL! 2025 I am bringing #strength, #courage, and #determination #pioneering spirit. I am offering #inspiration for #overcoming challenges and effecting #positive change. So come on you - get your grit on! There is no place for complacency. #Win2025

Nonprofit marketing involves leaning on principles similar to corporate but with a deeper, mission-driven purpose. Ryan Callahan, EVP of Digital Innovation at Blue Star Families, explains how he and his team use data-driven strategies to focus their efforts effectively. One critical tool for uncovering truths about military family life that helps guide their initiatives is The Military Family Lifestyle Survey. Ryan said this data has unlocked incredible insights, like the fact that about 70% of military families in the U.S. live in a civilian community, not on a military base.

Yet another wonderful and poignant insight into military life as a spouse or partner. This time from Stacey Jones, who is a member of our Hereford Coworking Hub. Once again, I feel totally privileged to have been able to hear her story, experience her life through her words, share in the challenges she’s faced and overcome, and learn how military life has impacted her career, her family life, and her wellbeing. Stacey talked openly about the impact of constant moves on her career and career progression, and the decisions she had to make. She talked candidly about how lonely life can be when your partner is away. How difficult it can be to connect with the military community when you don’t have children and are working full-time. And how important it is to have touchpoints like the coworking hub, where you can meet like-minded people and get that informal support from someone who gets you and shares your lived experience. For those of you who don’t understand the impact military life can have on the men and women who stand behind our brave serving personnel, it gives us much needed understanding, clarity, and appreciation. For those of you, who share or have lived this experience, it’s a story you know all too well. Please take some time to read Stacey’s story. https://lnkd.in/dZ-tBgQX #MCN #Militarycoworkingnetwork #Coworking #Coworkinghubs #Hereford #Army #Militaryspouse #Militarypartner #MilitaryCoworkingNetwork #Community #ArmedForcesCommunity #BritishArmedForces #militarylife #Career
