๐ An Inspiring Visit from Adam Goodes! ๐ What an absolute privilege to have Adam Goodes speak to our students in the Mary Wade classroom last week. Adam's reputation as a public figure preceded him, making his visit all the more special - for our students and teachers alike! Adam shared a powerful and moving personal story, touching on his family, challenging childhood, pivotal choices, and the key inflection points that shaped his journey from a sporting legend to a successful businessman and advocate for social change. Highlights from Adam's time with us included: ๐ค Economic Empowerment: Insights into his business ventures and initiatives aimed at empowering Indigenous communities economically. ๐ค Transformation: The importance of evolving identities and letting our responsibilities guide our transformations. ๐ค Open Door Moments: Adam highlighted the significant 'open door' moments in his life, paralleling them with the opportunities Take2 offers our students. ๐ค Positive Surroundings: The value of surrounding oneself with support while eliminating negative influences. ๐ค Community Impact: Encouraging students to consider how the Take2 programme will transform not just their lives but also those of their families and loved ones, and their role in uplifting others in similar situations. ๐ค Opportunities: The unpredictable nature of life and the empowerment that comes from seizing opportunities. Adam's visit was nothing short of inspirational, leaving our students motivated and ready to embrace the opportunities ahead. Thank you, Adam, for sharing your wisdom and experiences with us! #Take2AU #Inspiration #AdamGoodes #SecondChances #CommunityEmpowerment

Chief Expeditionary Officer at Mind Shift Impact: Mind your choices - Shift your Thinking - Impact your world
Ready to kickstart the Watson Institute / Western Union Foundation fellowship next month. Seeing the impact we create via our social-enterprise basecamps I canโt help to wonder what would the results be if more businesses join educators in mentoring entreprenuers throughout their journey. If you are interested to learn more about our programs reach out or comment on this thread. #socialenterprise #socialentrepreneurship #entreprenuership #fellowships #workbasedlearning
VP of Impact Ecosystem @ Watson Institute | Ecosystem Builder, Program Design, Partner Management, Global Impact
I always enjoy connecting with this powerful community of educators. I've been fortunate to have the chance to meet and work with like-minded entrepreneurs, innovators and social impact educators who are committed to supporting Fellows from around the world. These meetings allow us to get aligned, to reflect on previous Fellowships and to always ask ourselves: how can we do more? What can we do to continue to support Fellows, to create sessions that are highly engaging, to be mindful, thoughtful and intentional about the Fellows we serve and to ultimately enhance the Fellow experience with each and every session... I'm feeling very humbled to be on the purpose-driven work journey alongside individuals who equally care about quality and are committed to excellence!

Coach and consultant specializing in leadership goals, communication, and presentations | Husband | Father | Music
I know in our culture and economy, competition is valued really high: โ Who is the competition? โ Whatโs your competition doing? โ How much did your competition bring in last year? And my favorite: โWe have to CRUSH the competition. Now, I can admit that I sometimes have a problem with envy. However, Iโve never understood wanting to see someone else fail so that I might succeed. Iโve never wanted something so much that I wanted to see someone elseโs dreams die. How would we teach that to our children: โif you want to swing higher, cut the chain of your sisterโs swing โif you want to beat him at basketball, sweep his legs when he jumps NOโthereโs a better way. There is enough room for everyone. When we want the best for our community, thereโs no room for envy or cutthroat competition. There is enough room for all of usโthere has to be. We can have success WHILE we celebrate otherโs success. CTA: Today, go cheer on someone who society would say is your competition.

Finance Leader โบ Removing obstacles and enabling strategic execution โบ Building exceptional teams โบ Developing leaders
๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ! Excited to share my latest read, "Give and Take" by Adam Grant. A transformative exploration of reciprocity in relationships. Grant's insights on the power of giving and its impact on success are a game-changer. Grant shows that giving is not only good for others, but it is also good for the giver. Givers are more likely to be successful in their careers, have stronger relationships, and experience greater happiness than takers or matchers. Highly recommend for anyone navigating the dynamics of life. #leadersarereaders #BookRecommendation #AdamGrant #GiveAndTake ๐

Happy New Year! 2024 holds promise and potential for positive change and transformation everywhere I look. May the year bring us closer to our better selves and each other! In the spirit of positive changes, I would like to share some changes in my life that are unfolding this year. To start, I have released my first book! It is a book of poetry title, Ohigan. Ohigan is a Japanese tradition honoring lifeโs transformations, and means, โthe other shore.โ I had the honor to work on this project with the very talented artist, adventurer, climber,ย Yagmur Kuzay. Thank you, Yagmur! You can learn more about my book and buy one on my website,ย www.aaronfairchild.com. Buy one or more and share with friends, and send me comments to share on my website! Another major transition, I am beginning a new venture,ย Cambia Capital, with former Green Canopy executives Andy and Susan. You may have already heard about this in ourย newsletterย announcement or read about it in the recentย GeekWireย article. I will remain on the Board of Green Canopy, but focus most of my time on Cambia Capital as a Managing Member. The alignment of poetry, writing in general, outdoor activities, and social entrepreneurship seems clear to me. However, feel free to follow along as I attempt to weave these various aspects coherently online. www.cambiacapital.com https://lnkd.in/gjG4j28M https://lnkd.in/gZqYhhFr #regenerativeleadership #regenerativebusiness #regeneration #regenerative #regenerativerealestate #Realestatedevelopment #poetics #socialentrepreneurship #socialimpact #socialentrepreneurs #leadershippoetics #leadershipjourney #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #corporateculture #geekwire #cambiacapital #greencanopynode #masstimber #greenbuildings #greenfinance #greenfinance #nexteconomy
