Exeat Together

Welcome to 7X Exeat Investments . A theme for the year, just for you to build your portfolio your way. Everyday as a boarding practitioner you invest a lot of moments in others, this year my wish for you is to take steps everyday to become future proof. Why? Because in our world, boarding is our everything - our home, community and professional future. The times today are different, and with everything that is happening across the world the profession is not as stable as before. With schools closing, economies changing - redundancy and job losses are sadly a reality for our sector today. To stay ahead of the curve, you need ways to invest in yourself so that if this moment comes you are the best in the room. Here we go .. one word investments for you to act on. 7X Exeat Investments is our global boarding personal development programme to build your future. An investment a day helps you build your future your way. This week you are going to simply look at where you want to start. Look at the words that are below , I have even left a space in the middle for you to add your own words. Make it your own. Pick one word as your investment theme this week. Small investments that build into your everyday world. One a day, but go for more if you want to. For example. Smile Take time everyday to be intentional in making someone smile as a result of your actions. But remember, you could do something everyday to make yourself smile . ?? Support. Can you give 7 supportive moments for yourself this week? Be kind to yourself as we transition back to boarding worlds... What if you added in a moment for a new colleague finding their way ? Design - Create Can you invest everyday in what you need? Maybe moments of wellbeing or life admin... You can't change the rotas or prep times, but could you design your own prep times one slot a day to move you forwards. What would that look like ? Together As we move back to boarding, the together we had over the holidays goes at the speed of light and this affects families and relationships. How can you invest together, just once a day, to get what you need? This week it is all about YOU trying out an investment approach that you can fit into your boarding world. An approach where you invest in yourself everyday to get to the place where you meet your future self. Have a go, and let us all know how you get on in the comments. Onwards, team boarding. Stay awesome and just be you.

How has your understanding been this week? Moments and Experiences are the currency that drive your boarding to the next level in our current times. But in my true style. I am adding one more word at the front that is driving your culture, retention and recruitment. Lived Moments Lived Experiences How are you adding in the one word ? The word that is the energy of your community based on just being human? What is is costing you ? The hidden costs could be the difference of one. One member of your community leaving - staff or students. One member of your community staying .... Power up the positivity team boarding.... remember to include you.

How have you build your boarding world this week ? For you For them For us If we look at the word 'for' we segment our work into thoughts, impacts and actions. But, is the second word more important as you step into building your futureproof world ? Take time to look at the actions you have taken through what the words you them and us mean to you ? Are you making deposits for the future or withdrawals that can cost you ? Over to you

Your world building Outside, it is all going on schools closing and practitioner having to start again. Inside, you are nervous about what could happen next with your lived experience. Your future is based on your own world building, step by step, day by day. How can you stand out in a world that keeps changing? What is your UBP - unique boarding portfolio that will help you stand out from the crowd? UBP - it is up to you. An investment a day will help you build your future your way. Fellow practitioner... how would you answer this ? And, what are you going to do now to take the next step to where you want to be ?
