On Purpose Adventures

Procrastination is something many of us struggle with, but we're determined to finish 2024 strong. As the year winds down, we are focusing on staying intentional with our time and setting ourselves up for a strong start in 2025. Leaders, how are you wrapping up the year? Dr. Troy reminds you in his recent newsletter to tackle those lingering tasks and make these last few months count. What's your go-to strategy for staying on track? Do you have any goals you want to accomplish before the year ends? https://lnkd.in/eV3FsGB3 #OnPurposeAdventures #CohesionCulture #LeadingOnPurpose #Goals #Leadership

Mid-70s highs and low-60s evenings are here, and this perfect weather is calling your employees outdoors. They're itching to break free from the 'boredroom' and get moving outside. Imagine your team kayaking on Shem Creek, soaking in the scenery while building trust and teamwork. Or picture them strategizing together on a fun Scavenger Hunt through the historic streets of Charleston or the scenic spots of Greenville, SC. Fall is the ideal time for outdoor adventures that recharge employees' minds, build bonds among co-workers, and strengthen teams. Swap screens for sunsets and desks for discoveries. #OnPurposeAdventures #YellowCamoCrew #LeadOnPurpose #EmployeeRetention #TeamBuilding #TeamBonding

Looking to keep your mind sharp? Forget the pressure to pick up crossword puzzles or brain teasers if that's not your thing. There's a simpler, and possibly more enjoyable, way to boost your mental clarity: GET OUTSIDE AND GET MOVING! Just a half hour to an hour of outdoor activity like walking or kayaking can make a huge difference for both your mind and body. Neuroscientists have found that even a brief walk releases "feel-good" neurochemicals like dopamine and serotonin, helping to reduce anxiety and boost your mood. Plus, getting fresh air, soaking up some sunshine, and enjoying nature are all part of this wellness package that goes beyond screen-free time. So, if you want to give your brain a boost and enjoy some downtime away from your screen, consider heading outdoors for a stroll or hopping in a kayak. It’s never too late to start, and your brain will thank you for it! #OnPurposeAdventures #NatureAdventures #Kayaking #LeadershipDevelopment #MentalWellness #BrainHealth #GetOutdoors

HAPPY HALLOWEEN ?? ?? Dr. Troy released a great newsletter this week about how some leaders think they need to put on a fake MASK while they're at work - not just around Halloween, but year-round. But authenticity is one of the most powerful tools a leader can use! When leaders shed the mask and lead with transparency, they build trust, foster real connections, and create an environment where team members feel safe to be themselves too. For instance, some leaders might pretend to have all the answers or act overly confident, even when uncertain. But true authenticity means saying, "I don’t have all the answers right now, but I’m committed to finding the best solution with our team." This builds trust and shows that real leadership means being honest and supportive. If you’re ready to learn how authenticity can transform your workplace, give Dr. Troy’s latest newsletter a read: https://lnkd.in/epSdWZcK #OnPurposeAdventures #CohesionCulture #AuthenticLeadership #Halloween #EmployeeRetention #LeadershipDevelopment

Strong workplace friendships aren't just nice to have. These connections are central to creating a Cohesion Culture? where creativity, collaboration, and performance thrive. As organizations grapple with the balance of remote, hybrid, and in-office work, one essential factor stands out: the need for social connections to foster trust, belonging, and a sense of community. Amazon’s recent decision to bring employees back to the office full-time underscores a larger trend. CEO Andy Jassy highlighted that, despite the benefits of remote work, the in-person environment is vital for learning, cultural immersion, and hands-on collaboration. While this shift has stirred up strong reactions, it raises an important question: how do we foster creativity and breakthrough ideas when physical presence is minimized? Studies from the University of Oxford and the University of Pittsburgh reveal that remote teams are less likely to make transformative breakthroughs than those collaborating in-person. While virtual connections can enhance knowledge sharing, they often lack the spontaneous interactions that spark new ideas and innovative thinking. (Check out our blog on mastering engagement in hybrid teams for tips on running engaging meetings with team members no matter their locations: https://lnkd.in/eVAgK_4B) As we rethink post-COVID workplace designs, it’s important to ensure young professionals aren’t left feeling isolated or disconnected. A cohesive organization invests not just in its current productivity but in building an inclusive, connected future. Committing to a Cohesion Culture means valuing social bonds as the backbone of sustained success and ensuring that each team member feels a true sense of belonging. #OnPurposeAdventures #CohesionCulture #YellowCamoCrew #EmployeeRetention #CorporateCulture #Connection

After reading the recent Leading On Purpose newsletter about the importance of delegation, you're probably wondering what first steps to take. First, identify which responsibilities others can take on to develop new skills and bring fresh insights. Choose tasks that don't need your personal touch but still contribute to business growth. Next, provide clear instructions to your new hire. Give context and resources, then allow your team take ownership. Finally, embrace "good enough". Aim for a task done 80% as you would, leaving the remaining 20% as room for new ideas. Start with small steps, trust your team, and watch them rise to the challenge. Thank you Pat ?? Tang, Zo? Perissos, and Kathleen Buckley for your thoughtful comments. #OnPurposeAdventures #Leadership #YellowCamoCrew #Delegation #EmployeeRetention #LeadOnPurpose

When was the last time you felt truly valued by your team? What sparked that feeling? Was it a brainstorming session where someone validated your idea? Did your leader simply say thank you? Maybe it was a time someone stepped up to help with you asking first? These moments of connection lay the foundation for stronger, more resilient teams. So next time your team gathers, consider ways to foster these genuine connections. Encourage open dialogue, set up an activity where teammates learn a new skill together, or create a comfortable environment where team members share personal insights. When you create spaces where every voice matters and each win feels like a team effort, you're building a Cohesion Culture? where belonging, value, and shared commitment thrive. What’s one way you've fostered connection and cohesion in your team? #OnPurposeAdventures #YellowCamoCrew #TeamBuilding #EmployeeRetention #CohesionCulture #Leadership
