Putting the 2020 Goals out there
Adam Janes, CVA
Canadian, curious, creative and caring leader - dedicated to supporting volunteering with excellence.
In 2020 I have set my hand to one process in all of the things I have said yes to!
ENRICHMENT
2019 Brought many new opportunities my way: 1st Board Membership Opportunity, OAVR. 1st Start-Up, Beyond the Bake Sale. 1st Professional Designation, Certified Volunteer Administrator. 1st Speaking Request as a Volunteer Management Expert, Ottawa Food Securities Conference.
I also continue my work with Christie Lake Kids and Volunteer Ottawa as well.
In 2020 my goal is to enrich each of these opportunities and give back in and through them by various means and methods that invest in the organizations I am in and others.
This comes out of deep conversations and circumstances: I have read the say YES articles and the say NO articles (I also love paradox). I have seen merit in both it is all about timing. Last year I said yes more and gained lots. But I also lost a lot in the chaos of it all. This year I expect I will say NO more but also Not Yet or maybe even YES BUT. I aim to engage places and spaces of value through the means and methods that are before me now! Unless something is obviously life-changing and transformational or I get a deep and verified nudge, I am not seeking the next big thing, I have many great next big things I am already a part of and to work with the amazing people I know to grow them is an honour and a privilege.
I am eager to also enrich my home life and marriage. A topic sometimes void and vacant on LinkedIn but something I want to share more about and something I want to lean more into as this year unfolds.
I hope to interact with you this year and as the old saying goes as Iron sharpens iron so one person sharpens another! We can help to enrich one another's lives, passions and journies into meaningful change to our own lives and the community.
So if you are interested in enriching areas such as #volunteermanagement, #communitybuilding, #philanthropy or #inspiration get in touch and let's bring new and better things forward to the world.
Happy New Year all!
(There I did it, now I can check it off my resolutions list ;).

5 年Awesome Adam! I’d love to connect more... each of your goals resonate with me. This year my word is ‘me,’ and along with this comes my decision also to say NO more, but also NOT YET and YES BUT more. Good luck. Look forward to hearing more throughout the year.
