Third Places Third places is a term coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg and refers to places where people spend time between home ('first' place) and work ('second' place). They are locations where we exchange ideas, have a good time, and build relationships. I am forever grateful for my third place, my WIL sisterhood, no matter where we are (virtually or in person). Because, to me a third place isn’t necessarily a physical place, but rather the people that make it a brave space. I am grateful to have attended FOCUS St. Louis seminar discussing just this with kKristen Sorth, Ronke Faleti, Emma Klues, and Jody Sowell. Moderated by the ever engaging Harlan B. Hodge. A few key takeaways: •We need to have places like the Missouri History Museum where we can have civil yet difficult discussions of differing pov -Jody Sowell •We need to be disciplined about not letting conveince replace connection -Ronke Faleti #thirdplaces #community #difficultconversations #bravespaces

Every boy has questions on their journey to manhood. Men provide the compass for that journey. What does it mean to be a man? How do I become one? What are the right things that a woman needs from a godly man? How do I become truly alive? Our mission is to implement Christian-based wilderness programs through which teenaged boys advance on their journey in becoming capable, Christ-centered men. See how Of Mountains & Men use wilderness and outdoor programs to help teenaged boys advance to become Christ-centered men. Learn more

People work for people. This was the mantra of one of the most impactful professors I have ever had. Dennis Morrow at the Hattfield School of Government at Portland State University (Go Vikings!) would beat this idea into his graduate students in an effort to indoctrinate us into the idea of "new public administration" and values based management. In my next installment of "Why Museums Matter" I write about the critical role of Human Resources in the third sector and how we have not only an opportunity, but a duty to think differently about the models and approaches to managing and supporting our single largest investment...our people. https://lnkd.in/gdWabkEM
