The power of outdoor education, the joy of being at one with nature. We must look at how we continue to try and “contain”children in classrooms and give them more access to the outside for learning. Being outdoors resets our nervous systems and regulates our emotions. Let’s get outdoors more, let’s open our children’s eyes and get them learning outside with curiosity and joy. https://lnkd.in/ebDaf263

July is here, bringing the hot summer sun and long afternoons—perfect for celebrating Park and Recreation Month! Why do people love parks? Parks offer so much more than just a place to relax and unwind. They offer countless benefits to nearly every community, from boosting local property values to improving air quality and more. Parks foster community and can be pivotal to providing a safe, eco-friendly place for people to improve their mental and physical health. But not everyone has equal access to parks. Dive into our blog, “Everyone Loves a Good Park,” to explore why parks are vital to many communities—and what we can do to ensure everyone has equal access. Learn how we can make parks accessible for all and the steps we need to take for a greener, healthier future by reading our blog in the comments!

Incredible video from Jesse Cole from the Savannah Bananas at Fenway Park talking about seizing the opportunity, slowing things down and giving the fans their moment! Although this is about baseball and showmanship, I cannot help but relate to how this simple theory of slowing down, being in the moment and personalizing the moment matters in healthcare. And as we embark on the new Medicare GUIDE model for Alzheimer's and dementia care, the aspect of personalizing care and slowing down will become even more important. At PocketRN, we believe that nurse lead care is the key to driving ongoing, sustainable outcomes because nurses are the changemaker's, the empathetic people who relate, listen and care. Nurses personalize care delivery by focusing on things that matter to the patient. The things that a patient can relate to, and the needed motivation patients and their caregivers need to be involved! So, even though this video is about baseball, it is also about slowing down and being impactful! Cheers to all the nurses, athletes, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals and good humans out there who are making a difference and personalizing experiences, one person at a time.

Fenway Park was the biggest challenge we've ever had as an organization. Before the game, we had our Fans First chat with over 200 plus employees, players and cast members and I shared with the team how we could be our best in the moment. From Day 1, I've always believed in focusing on the fans first. But when facing real adversity, we often need more than just that mindset as our north star. We need to know how to put the fan first. What I've learned is that the greatest performers know how to slow things down. When things speed up, they can focus even better on what's in front of them in that moment. I shared how while we would have the most eyes on us we've ever had, it was the eyes right in front of us that mattered most. My goal was for everyone to take the extra time with fans, embrace the moments and truly be present. If we did that and focused on one fan at a time, everything else would take care of itself. After the game, I was truly proud of everyone on our team. I heard countless fans first stories and moments shared by our group and by fans all over social media. With every challenge, we get better and learn more. But who we are, what we stand for and the heart of this organization will never change.

I can't express strongly enough how important Jesse Cole's mantra of Fans First should be incorporated in how we interact with donors and how admissions should interact with prospective students and families in the private educational sector. You may have the best glossy brochures or produced videos, but they all fall short on the personal interactions you have with your donors and families. These interactions are game changers. They are the difference between getting a gift or having a student enroll in your school. The student ambassador who connects with a child during a visit to campus or taking the time to have coffee with a new parent and sharing personally the incredible impact giving has on your school - moves mountains. If you haven't taken a moment to check out Fans First or check out the Savanah Bananas - you should make it your summer reading. It's a game changer.

Back in my day, kids roamed the great outdoors from dawn till dusk, concocting grand adventures with nothing more than a sturdy stick and a boundless imagination. We climbed trees ??, scraped knees ??, and learned resilience through every tumble and triumph. It was a time when the world felt like our oyster, and we were free to explore every inch of it. Today, things have changed. Parents are more vigilant, ever aware of potential dangers that lurk beyond the front yard. Our urban jungles and suburban sprawls have grown, but safe spaces for our children to play have dwindled. The free-spirited adventures of yesteryear have given way to structured playdates and supervised activities. Yet, let’s not bemoan the changing times. Our kids face a different world, one filled with its own unique challenges and opportunities ??. They’ve grown up navigating a landscape of digital connections and global communities, developing skills and resilience in ways we could never have imagined. They’re learning to thrive in environments that demand new kinds of creativity and adaptability ????. So, let’s celebrate our kids for who they are and what they’re achieving. They’re growing up in a world that’s vastly different from the one we knew, but they’re forging their own paths and creating their own adventures ??. Rather than lamenting the past, let’s appreciate the remarkable ways our children are rising to the occasion, finding their footing in this ever-evolving world. After all, it’s not the era that defines the greatness of an adventure, but the spirit with which it’s undertaken. Here’s to our kids, the explorers of today, making the most of the world they’ve been given ??.
