"Many homeschoolers have a great amount of flexibility at home, which is one of the beauties of homeschooling, but that flexibility is not always found on a job.  Learning this can be helpful!” – Cindy LaJoy Quote taken from the SPED Homeschool article, Eight Benefits of Volunteering for Your Homeschool #quoteoftheday #homeschoolfreedom #spedhomeschool

At HoganTaylor, generosity and community service are an important part of our culture. Every year, each employee can spend 24 hours of community service to do whatever they are passionate about. This could be: ➡️ Working at a soup kitchen ➡️ Coaching a Little League team ➡️ Volunteering at an animal shelter Over the last few months, our CEO at HoganTaylor, Randy Nail, has emphasized the need for generosity toward not only each other at the firm… … but in our communities as well. To track our efforts and make progress towards this initiative, we: ✅ Set specific annual community service goals for each office ✅ Are providing monthly volunteer opportunities for team members ✅ Are hosting quarterly lunches & learns, providing opportunities to learn about different non-profit organizations and find new ways to get involved. This is such a special initiative, and I can’t wait to see what team members take part in and what kind of impact we create in 2024. What are your favorite ways to give back to your community? #accountingandaccountants #entrepreneurship #smallbusiness #business #success

There's no denying it: there are folks struggling right now. It's messy out there, and it can feel like there's no reprieve from all the nastiness. Social media certainly doesn't help at times (and yes, I am aware of the irony of using social media while decrying negative effects.) Some of our agency partners are overwhelmed with requests for service. There is something we can do about it. I'll give you the Cole's Notes version of the starfish story. A man throwing land-bound starfish back into the sea tells a skeptical passerby that his action didn't save ALL the creatures, but made a difference to the ones he tossed back. And that is why, if world and local events are getting to you, give volunteering a shot. Few of us have the power and influence to sit down those who do and say "Stop that. Fix this. Help them." I know I wish I did. But what you can do is learn how to say on a smaller level, "Please don't do that. It's ruining the environment. See?" "Let's get those people into a shelter." "Would you like me to repair that door? I can." Will it make a difference on the world-wide scale? Maybe not. But you have just shown someone that dumping their trash on the rail trail is not good for the animals that live near it. You've helped someone survive on the streets for another week or month. You've helped a struggling single parent make their home more secure. You've helped someone. Someone who may feel like paying it forward in the future. It may not have been a grand gesture, but you made a difference to that starfish. Come and see who would love for you to join their organization as a volunteer. https://buff.ly/48p5ewI You can also go there if you are a registered non-profit and would like to sign up with us to help you get the people you need. #CommunityBuilding #HelpingHands #VolunteeringIsGoodForYou #VolunteersWanted #ThoughtfulThursday #candoattitude #starfishstory Peterborough and the Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce Peterborough County Trent University Careerspace Community Foundation of Greater Peterborough

Today felt like the perfect time to jump back into LinkedIn. The last 10-12 months have been quite a journey both personally and professionally. This post isn't meant to relive the last year but to encourage everyone that when your life is turned upside down unexpectedly, it can lead to wonderful outcomes. I found through prayer, reflection, and unwavering support from friends and family, what was initially something extraordinarily difficult became a true blessing. Some will notice I have a "gap" in my work history now. About 4 months. 4 months to jettison a lot of baggage, get my mind and body back to neutral (thank you Brendan Ferns for recommending Getting to Neutral by Trevor Moawad), and to dream again. 4 months to reconnect with my wife and start to make decisions that are focused on me and my family first, not what a job might dictate or require. Call it a gap or a sabbatical or whatever you'd like; I knew in order to be the best for my family and for wherever I chose to go professionally, I had to reset. In October of 2023 I got to meet with some of the team at Grubb Ventures. I wasn't sure if I was ready to come off the sidelines yet. Was I mentally ready? Did I complete my "factory reset?" A few things were clear that were critical to me: 1. The leaders truly cared about the people there. It wasn't lip service or just some core value splattered on a wall. 2. They believed the company was ready to make smart, strategic changes in response to recent growth (I like leading through change believe or not). 3. Grubb cares about the community they live and work in. I joined Grubb as its CFO in November (I know I'm late posting about it). And today we sorted and packed eggs at the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC. We did it together. Just like we do each day at the office. I'm so thankful to the team at Grubb for choosing me. I'm grateful to everyone who supported me this last year, especially my wife and family. And while I know God doesn't ever have to reveal His plan for me, I'm blessed that He continues to orient my steps.
