https://lnkd.in/gbzSEwrE The Baird Difference in Action - Focusing on the importance of community service and giving back.

Making money matters, but so does ?????? we do it. This week, we’re celebrating our 8th anniversary in our business community! But it’s more than just a celebration. I get it, starting a business can be scary. But also because the environment can be intimidating, very competitive. And because we want a different way of doing things. Make something meaningful in our lives. That’s why our community is different. We honor our team members every year with 16 awards worth $1,000 each. What I like is that it's not about being big and important or super smart... It's more about how human we are. Here are some examples: - Integrity. - Community cheerleader. - Compassionate Leadership. - Dance Like Nobody’s Watching. - Embracing the Inward Journey. All voted on by us. Together, we’re building something strong and meaningful. Do you think a supportive community can make a difference in business?

We have drawn from our 20 years of experience to design programs like the Elevate Initiative, a partnership between Frontline Solutions and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that funds organizations doing on-the-ground work to remove structural barriers and accelerate economic mobility for communities of color. Here are 5 lessons we've learned over the last three years of designing and facilitating this community of practice and learning opportunities alongside and for the Elevate grantees.

It gives us a story to model after and to get inspired by. As individuals, I think it helps us see what we are capable of becoming when we leverage the power of the collective. That could be family, community, co-workers, partners, mentors etc."Why do you think this is relevant for all Futurists?"We are all in different phases in our lives and professions, and I think we can benefit from learning about other people who are at a point in their lives where they are able to share their experiences for the world to learn from."What do you want to come out of this?"I really hope we are able to take advantage of this amazing opportunity to share and discover the potential within ourselves."Any closing thoughts?"This series is called Collective Power - I want to put some focus on that. I have learned the importance of community when challenges arise, and building that community takes work. You have to be vulnerable and ask for help. I hope this experience resonates with others at the company to share their goals, aspirations, but also challenges. As a company, building community is key to forward momentum and success."Look for series 2 in Q4 and series 3 in early 2025.

At this time of year so many of us are counting down to something ... How many day until Christmas ?? How many days until the end of term ?? ?? How many days until I get something other than a bounty in my advent calendar (if you know, you know!) ?? ?? For some others they may well be counting up! So often at interview the question "what would you do in your first 90/100 days?" comes up. If you are in the process of looking for a new role, have just started a new role or preparing for an interview, this video by FAIRER Consulting, MD Dan Robertson may just help you plan ahead. #100days #DEI #20daystogo #bountygate

New Year, New Introduction! To those who know me and the work I do, welcome back! To those who don’t, allow me to introduce myself. I’m Matthew, and I wear a few different hats. Here’s a quick snapshot of who I am and what I do: ?? Founder & Executive Director of Black Lives Matter New Brunswick ?? Principal & EDIA Specialist at EDIA Insight Solutions ??ASD-S District Education Council Representative ?? Trainer in school systems, working with students, staff, and leadership teams on topics like racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion ?? Vice-Chair of CSA Technical Committee Z301 ?? Other Things, but trying to keep it short For the past five years, I’ve been fully dedicated to supporting, uplifting, and empowering Black communities and Equity Priority Groups. Along the way, I’ve met incredible individuals who’ve mentored me, challenged me, and helped me grow. Like anyone, I’ve made my share of mistakes—but I’ve used each one as an opportunity to learn, evolve, and improve, all while having an amazing team and support network by my side. In these five years, I’ve also heard a lot of feedback: “You need to take more time off.” “You can’t maintain this pace, you’ll burn out.” “For an Executive Director, you’re too accessible.” But honestly, these comments point to a quality I’m most proud of: passion. Some may see it as working too much or being too available, but to me, it’s all about being deeply committed to the impact I’m trying to make. They say that when you’re doing what you love, it doesn’t feel like work—and I couldn’t agree more. I am passionate about what I do, and I’d love to share that passion with you. If you’re someone looking to champion EDIA (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility) in your personal and/or professional life, I’d be happy to offer guidance and encouragement! Or, if you’re a business/organization looking to enhance EDIA in your organization, reach out—I’d love to discuss how my team and I can support your efforts. Let’s connect and make 2025 a year of positive change! #Equity #Inclusion #Leadership #CommunityImpact #Passion #EDIA #Diversity

One of the questions we often get at FAIRER is, "I’ve just been appointed as the head of DE&I. What should I focus on in my first hundred days?"

And if you'd like a copy of our latest whitepaper 'First 100 days: Top priorities in your new DE&I role' just comment YES below and we'll send you a copy. #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #First100Days
