WellNow Urgent Care’s Post

Our local Christmas parade is a yearly highlight. Marching bands keep the beat, fire trucks roll in with style, horses bring tradition, and candy rains down for the kids. It’s a classic—full of energy, coordination, and a sense of purpose. Watching it reminds me of a core business principle: success takes a team. Here’s what stood out: - Every Role Matters: From the band leader to the truck driver, everyone has a job to do. In business, knowing your role and executing it well drives progress. - Timing is Key: A parade works because everything moves on schedule. In business, hitting deadlines and staying aligned makes the difference. - Shared Goal: Everyone in the parade is focused on delivering a great experience. Teams that share a common purpose achieve big wins. Whether it’s leading a team or contributing to a project, the principles of teamwork, precision, and purpose are non-negotiable. How does your team keep everything moving forward? Drop your thoughts below. Great job, Rocky Hill Christmas Parade. https://lnkd.in/e592KnVF

When Novak Djokovic, Steph Curry, and LeBron James declared that representing their countries at the Paris Olympics was the pinnacle of their careers, I understood completely. Their words took me back to a moment that transformed my life and career forever. It wasn't at the Olympics, but at the SLS World Cup of Transformation in Mexico City. As I stood there, holding the Philippine flag 🇵🇭, I felt a surge of pride and responsibility that I had never experienced before. In that instant, I realized why those sports legends felt the way they did. The video I'm sharing with this post, set to a lyrical version of "Amazing Grace," captures the essence of that transformative experience. Every time I hear this melody, I'm transported back to that pivotal moment when everything changed: • I went from being an individual to embodying the hopes of millions of Filipinos • My role shifted from a professional to a cultural ambassador • I transformed from a participant into a catalyst for change This wasn't just about holding a piece of cloth. It was about representing the spirit, potential, and dreams of an entire nation. The weight of that flag in my hands became the weight of responsibility on my shoulders - a weight that has shaped my journey ever since. The transformation didn't end when I lowered the flag. It continues to influence how I approach my work, my relationships, and my role in our global community. Like those Olympians, I found that representing my country wasn't just an honor - it was a life-altering experience. To my fellow professionals: Have you had a moment that unexpectedly transformed your career and life perspective? How has it shaped your journey since? Let's share our stories of transformation. After all, in the Philippines, we have a saying: "#SanaALL" - may we all experience such profound moments of change and growth. #PersonalTransformation #GlobalCitizenship #ProfessionalGrowth #RepresentPH #AmazingGrace --- P.S. As you watch the video, let the melody of "Amazing Grace" remind you of your own transformative moments. How have they shaped your amazing journey? https://lnkd.in/g6-_4VHQ

Many of us are supposedly in the 'top 1%', and I guess we could be called 'elites' -- born this way, or ambitiously self-made -- therefore as a global class we must be willing to be the most self-critical in the first instance, if any discussions arise about stemming social inequality. Many insecure people are actually eager to uphold a hierarchical society; e.g., anyone seeking status via 'costly signalling'/ heroic consumerism are doing just this (whether they are conscious of this, or not). But the paradox is, it's likely to be only the elites that will be able to engineer change. I believe it will be the people who have both been working people AND elite in their own lifetimes -- one and the same -- who will have the most both-ways empathy and governing intelligence, here.

🎉 Wow, we've just surpassed 50 copies of "From Forming to Performing" sold! 📚 Crossing this milestone is a mix of excitement, humility, and, yes, a tiny bit of terror. But hey, we've officially moved beyond just my family and close friends—which means, contrary to popular belief, it’s not just my mom and dad buying all the copies (thanks anyway, Mom & Dad!). A massive shoutout to Keila, Adina, Matthew, & Dave for being some of the first to champion this adventure. It’s one thing for me to rave about the book, but having your support means the world to me—literally, it's everything. To everyone else who's curious about crafting high-performing teams—or those who just want to see if I can write more than emails—grab your copy on Amazon. Let's prove there’s life beyond the family bookshelf! 😄 #FromFormingToPerforming #BookLaunch #Leadership #TeamPerformance

The USA Olympic basketball teams demonstrate what the make up of a high functioning work team looks like. A group of individual contributors who are really good at what they do, without too much overlap. A selflessness to help elevate each other, but ready to execute when called upon. A leader that can take the blame for the team, while finding ways to help the team execute more efficiently. Time to develop as a team and a trust in the process to get there.

Planning Christmas activities for both staff and the community can take a lot of work alongside day to day business tasks. We started planning a month ago! How do you juggle finding time to prepare for Christmas and ensuring day to day business continues as normal? and the big question is, is it ever too early to start? 🎄 As a big Christmas fan, my answer is no, it’s never too early! But between Christmas social media content, client messages, staff Christmas parties, community/charity support and more… time can escape you very quickly! We like to make sure we have a team involved, rather than it being one person’s responsibility so we can achieve more in a shorter space of time and it remains manageable! P.S Can you spot what they are making? 👀

I say something like this all the time. Anyone can show up to a party; everyone is in for a good time. It’s the real people who keep the lights on. The same can be said of leaders. Real leaders allow you to have boundaries. Real leaders hear you when you say being a parent first is a priority. Real leaders empathize with you when life is hard and support you. Real leaders ride the bus.

It's #BlackHistoryMonth and this year's theme is #reclaimingthenarrative In the lead up to this month, I've been reflecting on the role I can play in helping to #reclaimthenarrative through active and intentional allyship 🤝 For me, this means listening, learning, and leveraging my voice to uplift Black voices that have historically been marginalized or misrepresented🗣 . It’s about recognizing that Black history is not separate from broader history, but an integral part of it📚 But reclaiming narratives isn't just about amplifying the voices of the past; it’s about creating a future where Black perspectives are central to how we shape society, policies, and culture 🌍 . Allies can help by advocating for equitable representation, calling out bias when they see it, and using their platforms to elevate the contributions of Black individuals—both past and present 📢 This powerful performance by Dave really encapsulated the importance of this year's theme for me, demonstrating the crucial role that music and the arts can play in #reclamingnarratives 🎶 : https://lnkd.in/e2Tyk27c #AllyshipInAction #ReclaimingNarratives #BlackHistoryMonth2024 #AmplifyBlackVoices
