There's something profoundly fulfilling about stepping out into the field, directly engaging with the communities we serve, and witnessing the transformative power of our work firsthand. Field work is more than just a job; it's a passion. It’s about building genuine connections with beneficiaries, understanding their needs, and collaborating to drive meaningful change. Whether it's through participatory discussions, behavior change communication, or hands-on activities, the impact we make together is truly inspiring. Documenting these stories and outcomes is essential. It not only highlights the positive changes but also motivates us to continue striving for excellence. Every success story, every smile, and every improvement fuels our dedication to create a lasting difference. Here's to the incredible journey of working directly with communities and witnessing the real impact of our efforts. #FieldWork #CommunityEngagement #ImpactStories #MakingADifference

🌟 Impact Statements: The Heartbeat of Your Club's Journey 🌟 Impact statements are the soul-stirring melodies that resonate with your audience. They're not just about listing achievements; they're about narrating the story of your journey and the transformative effect you've had along the way. Why are impact statements so crucial? Here are three compelling reasons: 1️⃣ Demonstrate Value: Impact statements showcase the tangible results of your efforts. They provide concrete evidence of your contributions and underscore your value proposition. 2️⃣ Capture Attention: A well-crafted impact statement is like a magnet, drawing recruiters, clients, and collaborators towards you. 3️⃣ Inspire Confidence: When others see the impact your spouses' club has made, it instills confidence in your abilities. Board members can use this document when seeking new opportunities or nurturing existing relationships. Compelling impact statements build trust and credibility, laying the foundation for fruitful connections. Remember, impact isn't just about big wins; it's about the ripple effect of your actions, no matter how small. So, let's unleash the power of impact statements to tell our stories, inspire others, and leave a lasting impression on the world.✨ Impact Statement example and many more resources are located at CouncilforMSC.org #ImpactStatements #CareerJourney #ProfessionalDevelopment"

An interesting reading! In my experience measuring holistic impact is challenging with any initiative, but despite difficulties it’s the right thing to do, specially for DEI. Let’s plan and deliver with holistic impact in mind from the start.

Delivering impact for organisations that matter.

💼Leather 🆚 Pleather “Be yourself, everyone else is taken” - Oscar Wilde People know when you’re faking it but most are just too diplomatic to call you out. They simply quietly disassociate themselves from your brand. Let’s challenge each other to show up as ourselves - the best version of course. Save energy on having to stay in character. It’s unsustainable. That’s how you make real connections. That’s how we build lasting stakeholder relations. That’s how we make a tangible impact. #aunthenticity #trust #connections #energy
