ICYMI: In September, LeadingAge published a piece by Gene Mitchell where they referenced our CEO/President/Head Coach Julie Thorson's Leadership Development Program.

We spy our very own Grounds Supervisor Rick Lamoureux in some of these Greater Fort Dodge Growth Alliance #Leadership Fort Dodge photos. Sure does look like he's having fun, but he's used to that. After all, #FUN is one of our expected standards, and #play is our 2024 rally cry. https://lnkd.in/gHEJJeD5

Please join us in welcoming Ricki Osborn Stubbs to our board! https://lnkd.in/gar7P4Zq

Have some fun already! In her most recent McKnight's Senior Living blog, Friendship Haven Head Coach Julie Thorson talks about the 4 P’s to having fun at work. "For way too long, the heaviness of our field has overshadowed how completely full of joy it can be," she writes. "Getting to come to work every day in someone else’s home is an honor and responsibility. We have the privilege to experience life alongside the residents we serve. How perfectly fun is that?" So we ask: How do *you* incorporate fun and play into your day-to-day? #LeadershipDevelopment #LivingLeadership #FriendshipHaven #play #WorkLifeBalance #ThorsonThursday #fun https://lnkd.in/eC8TWeVb To hire Julie to speak at your event or facilitate training, please email Niki at nconrad (at) friendshiphaven (dot) org
