Dear Colleagues, Ever wonder why you have to wait so long to get a plumber, when you call for one?  What about an electrician?  What about having to wait weeks and weeks for your mechanic to have the time available to attend to your car?  𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀, 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 -- those skills that make our lives livable in so many ways.  Most often, these are careers for which one does not need a college education.  As a result, young adults can get a lucrative, high-paying job in hundreds of trades and not emerge from four years of college education with debt and a degree which is hard to market. 𝗕𝘂𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀.  𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟮𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲.  𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲-𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸-𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆. SkillsUSA Illinois is an organization on the move and is at the center of promoting the trades amongst high schools here in Illinois! As Senior Counsel for ACB - American City Bureau, Inc. , I have had the privilege of working with the team at SkillsUSA Illinois since January.  The positive impact that the Organization has on the lives of young adults who are seeking a career in the trades is phenomenal.  These positions are two great opportunities to get involved with a budding philanthropic services area, as we build it from scratch within the Organization.

Nothing says summer in the US like hot dogs and ice cream. That’s why July is both National Hot Dog Month and National Ice Cream Month. “Steve, hot dogs and ice cream are for children.” Are they though? I did some exhaustive research on this topic (meaning, I googled it) and found that most Americans, including adults, eat between 60 and 70 hot dogs a year. And while ice cream cones might remind you of childhood, those over 55 eat more ice cream cones a year than children do. Life is short. Treat your staff to lunch one day this month and see for yourself. Just don’t forget the gluten-free hot dog buns, tofu dogs, and dairy-free ice cream alternatives. As someone who’s been in recruitment for 25+ years, I know the value of small gestures in boosting team morale.

Embracing Diversity to Cultivate Diversity of Thought : Today, one of our CEOs & Co-founder Megan Morass shared an inspiring campaign highlighting World Down Syndrome Day. It served as a powerful reminder of the importance of diversity in our workplaces, not just in terms of ethnicity or gender, but in embracing all forms of neurodiversity and abilities. Creating a diverse team is not just about ticking boxes; it's about breaking the mould around hiring practices and embracing the unique perspectives and talents that each individual brings to the table. By challenging our everyday unconscious biases, we can pave the way for a more inclusive and successful workplace. Diversity of thought is a game changer. It fosters innovation, creativity, and resilience. It allows us to approach challenges from multiple angles and come up with more holistic solutions. I can vouch that Full Fat Agency appreciates the creative minds of neurodiversity. I have AuDHD, which means I fall within the spectrum of both Autism and ADHD. When I first found this out it was such a relief but also terrifying. I thought "Who will hire me now?", "How can I explain this to the workplace without them only seeing the negatives?". One of the key points that was mentioned in a Neurodiversity Week webinar was that you should find out your team's strengths and play to them. I'm lucky that despite my role being People & Office Manager, I get invited to creative brainstorms. Being creative is second nature to me, however, when I chose to solely work as a creative I found myself feeling deflated and unmotivated. Taking part in the Creative brainstorms allows me to feel like that part of me is still alive and kicking. I can see the value I bring to the table and that is the most inspired I have felt at work in a long time. I'd love other companies to invite more people to creative ideation meetings to see how it impacts the result. I'm pleased to announce that at Full Fat, we wholeheartedly embrace an inclusive ethos, welcoming people from all backgrounds, neurodiversities and disabilities. So let's champion diversity, challenge our biases, and collaborate to shape a more inclusive future for all! #DiversityAndInclusion #WorldDownSyndromeDay #InclusiveWorkplace #AuDHD

Is this as amazing as it is scary?… With every new technological advancement in efficiency, our biggest global brands are leading the way. Innovation and foresight should be strategically prioritized in every department for optimal financial growth. McDonald's under the right leadership 🍻🏆 Michelle and Benjamin are an example. 💡How the next generations education adapts to the needed expertise, and how that effects the employment of the current unskilled workforce- is a different topic… I believe more brands should be allocating budget and workhours to upskilling its employees. Not only to maximize their output (the short term efficiency loss during the education process, will be surpassed by the long term gains in efficiency) but to also provide job security- as future generations will likely make the current aging workforce obsolete in most white collar sectors. Leading to mass layoffs and unemployment from those that are traditionally in the middle class. Considering most business do not adapt quickly or prioritize education / have the resources to allocate funds and time. My general outlook on the job market is bearish. That is why I am continuously impressed and proud to work for a company that is embracing innovation and educating its team accordingly. Small plug for Appinio 🍻 #allwaysonbrand #education #innovation #futureofwork
