A summary: Notes from February 2024 Meeting of League of the Descendants of the Enslaved at Mount Vernon (The League)   Documentary titled "Enjoy Your Visit?" In our February general meeting of League members, a documentary titled "Enjoy Your Visit?" was discussed, aiming to explore tensions at Mount Vernon over slavery and its representation. The documentary’s producer, Merle Augustin and Emmy award winning writer / director Erin Cramer were introduced to members. Funding for the project is being sought through various means, including in-kind contributions, grants from foundations, and companies in the US and Europe. The film aims to raise awareness of the true history of the enslaved at Mount Vernon and the challenges faced by their ancestors.   Engaging with historical preservation groups Second, Shawn Halifax, Executive Director of Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House provided an update on discussions with historical preservation groups to gain support for organizations representing the enslaved and their communities. It was agreed to work together to support the League and other groups, with a scheduled first meeting to build trust and relationships.   Chairman’s update Additionally, I provided an update on the submission of a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to Mount Vernon for consideration and input, as well as an invitation for League members to participate in a panel at the George Washington Training Institute in July 2024. An update on the 501(c)3 non-profit status was also shared.   Launch of League Website Finally, the League's website (https://lnkd.in/dwkRr7E6) was demonstrated and launched, providing a platform for members to share their families' content. The website includes a public calendar featuring general meetings and events, and only verified members can access specific Members Only Family and League content.   Next Meeting The next meeting will focus on League plans for 2024 and 2025, including steps for a face-to-face meeting of descendants and a potential conference/seminar, as well as developing different types and costs for League membership. #TheLeague #MountVernon #blackhistory #History #CommunityEngagement #EnslavedHistory #MuseumUpdates

https://lnkd.in/eChshjxm "Networking" can certainly be overdone. But the desire to "go it alone" is a perilous decision as a leader. We must each find a group of people who we respect, with individuals who are both further along and farther back - and invest. They don't need to be our best friends, they can even be our competitors, but a consistent relationship with people in the same space, who are running the same direction will - 10 times out of 10 - help us run farther and faster. #leadership #networking #community #united #nonprofit #healthyleadership #together #mission #organizationalhealth #personalgrowth #buildasnowball

When school fundraising is more than selling chocolates.............(thank you God) Mattea's school - Bradfield College at St Leonards is having a raffle to raise much needed funds. There are some amazing prizes (see the link below) and tickets are only $10 each or you can buy packs of 5 or 10 at a reduced cost. And the good news is.............I have donated 2 coaching sessions and a Clifton Strengths Finder all 34 as a prize. If you would like to take a bet on something that gives you more chances of winning than lotto (the first division prize your chances are 1 in 3,575,880) then invest $10 for an excellent cause and a much better opportunity to win some really good prizes including coaching sessions with me. I would love it if one of my LinkedIn contacts or my clients won this. #strengthbaseddevelopment #leadershipdevelopment #emotionalintelligence #investincommunity

Twickenham is no more as Allianz takes over naming rights?!?! I'm sorry but this is possibly one of the worst sponsorship decisions I've ever seen, even (more so!) for Allianz! Twickenham is iconic: "HQ", "the home of rugby", it's the world's biggest rugby stadium, a historic ground that goes back well over 100 years. It's a name known not just throughout English or even world rugby, but throughout the population. A day at Twickenham is an experience that appeals to casual sports fans and even those who aren't into sport. There's endless invaluable brand value and recognition tied up in that. There are numerous Allianz stadiums already. Rugby desperately needs to bring corporate money in to save the sport we love, as it struggles more than ever with financial pressures. But a corporation having the arrogance to use that desperation to insist on erasing a name that is at the heart of English rugby really feels like holding the RFU over a barrel. It screams disrespect and feels grubby from Allianz Insurance. The arrogance and short-sightedness of "our terms or stick it" aggression (which feels like it's not doing much to rehabilitate the perception of the finance sector either). I know brands need to feel they're getting the max ROI for their money. However, I would have liked to have thought a company of Allianz 's size and experience in sports sponsorship would have a little more imagination and PR sense in how to do that appropriately, understanding the culture of the sport you are shoehorning yourself into. Obviously no one will ever ever ever use the phrase "Allianz stadium", apart from the media who will be contractually obliged to (and no doubt will be washing their mouths out with bleach immediately afterwards) so it's hard to really see what they're gaining from kicking off a major sponsorship deal by having hundreds of thousands of fans hating them. I'm not against naming rights in sport at all - it's been an essential lifeline for many clubs across different sports - but it needs to respect the history of the ground when that's significant. In those circumstances, adding a brand name onto an existing name, at most. "Allianz Twickenham" would have worked better and even given extra value to Allianz through the direct word association with the Twickenham brand qualities - history, credibility, quality. It's ironic that Allianz, while claiming to have the community and grassroots of rugby as it's priority, is demonstrating that it actually has no understanding or respect for the game at all and a focus on nothing but their leadership's ego. There was an opportunity here for Allianz to be praised as a saviour of English rugby, instead, I'm seeing rugby fans saying "anyone but Allianz" as a result of this. What a way to make sure your big deal gets tackled to the ground before it's anywhere near the try line! #sponsorship #sport #sportsponsorship #Twickenham #Allianz #AllianzInsurance England Rugby

IMPORTANT LESSON TO BE LEARNED HERE - It's not very often we share videos from the Driving the Lane University of Northern Iowa Basketball show we are part of. However, when there is a lesson to be learned, I don't mind doing so. No matter if you see a successful business or nonprofit (or in this case a basketball team) . . . they had to start from somewhere. That somewhere usually started with grit, tight budgets, and sacrifice. #nonprofitleadership #nonprofits #ForProfitsToo https://lnkd.in/e4X3sTip

"If we saw someone else treating us the way most of us treat ourselves, we might think of them as cruel". Personally, I've lived with negative self talk for most of my adult life, and I know countless people who also experience it. Imagine if every time you tried something you said to yourself one of the following: "I can't do it, I'll look stupid" "People will be looking" "It won't be perfect" "I'll fail" Over time, you won't try something new. You will never develop confidence. Footballers across Europe won't be waiting for the Euros 2024 in Germany to feel confident, they will be building confidence with every training session and every game on the lead up to the championships. The same is true with your career. Confidence is in the daily activity you do. Students who can't reference experience in their applications aren't seeing the stuff they do on the daily e.g. - Time keeping - Turning up on time - Team work - Working together as a team on a class project - Commercial awareness / sales - Supporting the school with raising money on a community fundraiser project - The list goes on.... You build confidence in the most arbitrary ways, and the only way to sustain authentic confidence is to track it. And to know the distinct differences between self-esteem and self-belief. The other big question to this post: will England lift the trophy this year? Happy Friday #confidence #career #football #berlin #germany #euros
