Tuesday night marked the launch of our Fall 2023 Spotlight Class! 🚀 We're thrilled to introduce you to our exceptional group of 32 young professionals, representing a diverse spectrum from nonprofit champions to visionary industrial engineers. Our journey began by acquainting ourselves with Downtown, immersing in its rich history thanks to the incredible Barbara Abbott of ExploreCity Tours. We then delved deep into the city's economic development assets and challenges alongside the insightful Jeff Dafler from the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce. But, of course, no exploration is complete without some savory networking and PB&J hotdogs at Milestone🌭 The excitement doesn't stop here – stay tuned for the next 12 weeks as we embark on a transformative experience of learning, growth, connection, and development.

When founders feel low, I’ll ask "when was the last time you celebrated with the team?" ”There’s been nothing to celebrate”, they’ll often say. 15 minutes later, they're planning their next celebration… here’s why:

"What if we celebrated something today and it fell apart tomorrow?" This is a constant question when working in a #startup, #founder or not. It's usually in the back of my head, but I always choose to #celebrate small wins - no matter the small voice in my head repeating the same question. Why, you may ask? A number of reasons: 🌟Achieving #milestones is no small feat when working in a fast-paced constantly changing environment, and that needs to be celebrated 🚀It boosts #teammorale, which unlocks the energy to keep pursuing and hitting other milestones 🤗 It's a reminder to #pause and review how far the team has come and reminisce on the good, the bad, and the ugly. Strengthens the #teambond These are my top 3 reasons; I have seen them positively impact the teams I have worked with, and they will always be reason enough to celebrate the #smallwins - no matter the ever-lingering fear of things falling apart tomorrow 💪

This summer, I had the privilege of participating in the transformative 4-week journey called Summer Lab at The University of Auckland, and I can't help but share the incredible experience I had. 🚀 What is Summer Lab? For those unfamiliar, Summer Lab isn't just another program; it's an accelerator for change-makers. Over the course of four weeks, participants dive headfirst into a world of innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development. Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), we embarked on a journey to identify pressing issues, form teams, and develop tangible solutions through a blend of workshops, mentorship, and hands-on learning. 💡 What Did I Learn? Benefits Beyond Measure The learning curve during Summer Lab was steep, yet immensely rewarding. From ideation to prototype creation, from customer interaction to pitching to investors, every aspect was meticulously crafted to equip us with essential entrepreneurial skills. Workshops on financial basics, negotiation, and intellectual property provided invaluable insights that I'll carry forward into my future endeavors. The benefits of Summer Lab extend far beyond the skills acquired. I had the opportunity to network with industry experts and like-minded peers. 🎉 A Community of Changemakers What truly sets Summer Lab apart is its vibrant community of changemakers. Collaborating with diverse individuals from various backgrounds and disciplines was not only enriching but also fostered a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. Together, we were driven by the common goal of translating ideas into impactful solutions. ✨ Gratitude and Looking Ahead As I reflect on my Summer Lab journey, I'm filled with gratitude for the invaluable experiences, friendships forged, and skills honed. I'm excited to carry forward the lessons learned and continue striving to make a positive impact in the world.

My work as a coach is definitely behind the scenes. I don’t often get to share how much I love the work I get to do and the amazing people I get to work with. What makes it better, is getting to be a coach at a company like BetterUp They truly value human potential, and believe we can build resilience and mindset shifts to live with greater purpose, clarity and passion. That’s something I stand behind 💯. #changeispossible #mindsetshift #coaching #resilience
