Watching my daughter Caroline Monberg step into her role at El Pomar Foundation is beyond rewarding. But beyond the proud dad moments her early career successes bring, it reminded me of a few pieces of advice that I've received and given to people in the early parts of their own careers. - Your boss is not your parent, youth pastor, friend or buddy. The best ones will be your coach and role models. The worst ones will be reminders that leading people is an expensive and rewarding art. - Your relationship is based on performance because this isn't a country club. Your connections may have opened a door, but you have to walk inside and perform. - Being able to receive difficult feedback is more important than the ability to give good feedback. Wise people adjust to the reality they live in. They learn to accept and incorporate hard feedback. - If I have to tell you what to do, I may have hired the wrong person. My job is to create clarity--your job is to fill in the blanks, take the right risks, and do the job better than I could do it myself. - Early is on time--for everything, but especially delivering your work product. Always give a little more than expected. - Assume I'm too busy, distracted, or occupied to notice that things need to be done. Do them fearlessly with the knowledge that people who get things done are valued, retained, and promoted. - Be known as a person who can get things done with imagination and excellence. Be faithful in the small stuff. - Say "No" more than you say "Yes." Listen more than you talk. Ask great open ended questions. Don't ask to pick someone's brain, ask them for their advice. - Never stop asking, "Why?" and "How can I make this better?" Talk to yourself often. Ask yourself big questions. - Don't do extremely important things on a Friday afternoon--particularly if they involve a crucial or hard conversation. - Assume everyone is trying to do their best. - Make work light for those around you. Don't be afraid to step up for the right opportunity. What's your advice for people starting their careers? Caroline and Tobin have heard this their whole lives... but there's always room for more! Drop a comment on the best (or worst) advice you've ever received below.

For Women’s History Month, we’re recognizing the successes and achievements of BARDA employees. Meet Rosemary Hill, Associate Director, Business Operations, Division of Contract Management and Acquisitions. One of Rosemary’s greatest career achievements to date is being consistently sought out to provide mentorship. “Having something worthwhile to say that has encouraged, motivated, and inspired others continues to be an honor.” Rosemary’s advice to young women who are just starting their professional careers is: “No matter if you are starting your academic or professional career the key to finding YOU, loving YOU and growing YOU is BALANCE. I make sure that I deposit something meaningful in each of these areas: mYnd (continuing education and therapy), bOdy (eating healthy and exercising) and soUl (spiritual growth and awareness) (YOU).” Women strengthen public health and national security with their dedication to meaningful work.

Raising the standards of education with young people is a very good foundation for apt learning. Strategies for achieving a solid standard of education may encompass: 1. A holistic approach which would encompass not only academic attainment but also personal growth, character development and social skills. 2. Student engagement which should be comprised of strategies to increase the students engagement such as using interactive learning activities, project-based learning and real world interactions to apply knowledge. 3. Taking note of *individual preferences* which is realizing that every individual should have their learning approach. Personalized learning should be encouraged which would resonate with each student. 4. Critical thinking skills- There is a great need to embed critical thinking and encourage students to analyze and question information in order to have deeper understanding. 5. Collaborative learning: Recommend collaborative learning environments where students can connect, communicate and problem-solving hereby fostering team work and co-operation. 6. Lifelong learning: Emphasize the notion of education as a lifelong journey, instilling in students a passion for learning and a curiosity to explore new ideas and perspectives beyond the classroom.

"Private Victories Over Public Celebration" For the longest period of time I always saw the success story of big figures and wanted to replicate that from myself too. But recently I realised that these public celebrations come out as an outcome of the numerous private victories , which according to me are the most necessary for building a strong inner foundation. While public recognition and accolades can be gratifying, it is the private victories that truly define our growth and character. These are the moments of personal triumph, achieved through dedication, resilience, and self-discipline, often unseen by the world. Private victories build a strong inner foundation, fostering self-respect and genuine confidence. They are the quiet achievements that propel us forward, fueling our motivation and commitment. When we focus on these internal milestones, we cultivate a sense of purpose and fulfillment that isn’t dependent on external validation. Prioritizing private victories ensures that our success is rooted in authenticity and self-improvement, making any public celebration a reflection of our true, hard-earned progress.

Perhaps I'm just ignorant, but what and where and when is Diversity Equality and Inclusion relevant? Let's start with admittance and grades for QC courses. In my day those who scored the required SAT scores and had the required average in Highschool were accepted into QC. There was no discrimination. Just numbers. Everyone else could go to QCC and matriculate into QC for their Junior year. Diversity irrelevant. Equality, everyone got an equal opportunity, Inclusion standards were color blind and ethnic neutral. Now lets look at Main St. Flushing 1970 compared to today. Back then Diversity in all races and religions. Equality was go into a store with money and you got what you wanted. Inclusion All were welcome. Today's Main St. Flushing. 100% Asian language. 100% Asian business owned. What happened to Diversity? What's concerning is when the people in charge program AI. The one source of programming will end the 1st amendment. Then obviously old uninformed people like me will just have to accept the infallible explanations. Oh well. I guess the truth checkers will make it all right.

Join The Pacific Institute's Winner's Circle Network: https://lnkd.in/edPEwf6G Here's this week's message! Equipped for Life Bette Davis once said, "Old age is no place for sissies." However, life itself is not for sissies, as every age has its trials. Young people face difficult decisions about education, career, family, emotions, hormones, and identity issues. As we age, we struggle with raising our children, gaining financial security, and retirement. As we age, we face the loss of loved ones to death. The secret to successful living is not finding an easy, carefree existence, but being "up to" the trials that life brings. Breaking down from overwork is not about overworking, but from "under being." Most people are not given too much to cope with, but sometimes feel like their inner resources are too low to handle it. To navigate smoothly through life, one needs good values, a positive support system, a strong purpose, an optimistic spirit, respect for others and oneself.

Send this to your high schoolers =) I spoke to hospitality students at Patchogue-Medford High School today and shared some of the key lessons I’ve learned, with them. Play the Long Game – Building a meaningful career is a marathon, not a sprint. Every step counts, even when it doesn’t feel like it. Always Be Kind and Aim to Give – Your kindness and generosity will come back in ways you can't imagine. It builds trust, which is invaluable. Use Every Opportunity to Grow – Work hard in every role you take on, even volunteer positions. These experiences help shape you and open doors for you. Align Your Work with Your Values – Working in places that don’t share your values can drain you. Find or create a space where you feel aligned. Don’t Wait to Make an Impact – You don’t have to wait for the "perfect" job or position. Start making a difference now, wherever you are. Be Open to What Comes – Your career can be built on opportunities you didn’t always see coming. Being open and adaptable makes all the difference. Stay True to Your Vision – At the end of the day, you can create your own business to stay aligned with your values. Your work can be about community and impact as well as financial success. After years of learning from my neighboring business owners, I’ve seen firsthand how dedication to community can drive a business forward. Their examples have shaped my own path and inspired the mission behind my work every day.
