Blue Valley School District’s Post

Recently was “bombarded” by the algorithm on social media about public goodness….. in particular about folks all dressed to the Ts representing companies, orgs or political parties touting involvement in public good at staged speeches or high-end hosted dining events, etc. Convincing? IMHO not! The promotion of altruism or good causes shouldn’t be a projection of seemingly counterproductive glamourous imageries against the orginal organizational intent. Do not forget that you are not “the star” but the cause is. The most shining example of #PublicGood or be involved in a #CompanyOfGood is still this:

Everyone starts somewhere. The people you look up to as being well accomplished and having everything you feel you could only ever dream about; they didn't start out with all that. It's so easy to forget that those we view as highly successful have struggled too. That they didn't always know what they were doing or feel confident. We idealize these people and forget that they're human too. Don't be so afraid of making mistakes that you never try. It's not that deep. It's figure-out-able. If they figured it out, so can you. Stay positive, do great things, and always max out your day! If nothing else, don't forget to drink water today. #startedfromthebottom #starttoday #positivemindset #motivation #drinkwater

🌍 Today is World Compassion Day 🌟 A day to reflect on the importance of kindness, understanding, and empathy in our daily lives. Compassion isn’t just about big gestures; it’s the small acts that often make the biggest difference - listening to someone in need, lending a helping hand, or simply being there when it matters most. In the work I do with the Victorian Farmers Federation and the Making Our Farms Safer program, I see firsthand how compassion can transform communities. Whether it’s supporting farmers through challenging times or ensuring the safety and wellbeing of those working on the land, compassion underpins everything we do. Let’s use today as a reminder to foster compassion in our workplaces, homes, and communities. It’s not just an emotion - it’s a powerful force for positive change. #WorldCompassionDay #KindnessMatters #MakeADifference

what an incredible message....... When people don't feel recognized for their efforts, they are less likely to put in the effort. Recognizing employees lets them know that their work is valued and essential. Taking the time out to recognize your team members elevates their sense of loyalty and belonging to the company. Additionally, expressing appreciation for good work helps to build a work environment that is positive, motivating, and engaging. keep going Keep growing PR Professionals

🚀 Progress is Progress—Keep Moving Forward! 🌟 As an operations manager, I’ve learned that progress isn’t about speed—it’s about consistency. 📈 Some days, progress looks like big wins and breakthroughs. Other days, it’s just showing up and taking one small step forward. And you know what? Both count. Here’s the truth: Growth happens at your own pace. Whether it’s streamlining a process, improving a skill, or overcoming a challenge, the key is to stay focused on forward momentum. Even the smallest steps add up over time. Remember: 💡 It’s okay to celebrate progress, no matter how small. 💡 Obstacles are part of the journey—use them as stepping stones. 💡 Stay committed to your goals, and the results will come. Keep pushing, keep learning, and keep improving. Because no matter how fast you’re moving, you’re still lapping everyone who’s standing still. 🙌 What’s one area where you’ve made progress recently?
