Hello |
|
|
 Each
year, the Holiday seasons triggers within me a time of personal
reflective soul-searching…. a time to ask myself the existential
questions tied to purpose in life, values, life principles, and “what
do I want to be when I grow up?”. I have challenged myself to draft a
personal mission statement based upon the answers to those questions.
Personally/professionally, I am immensely grateful because my personal
mission statement integrates quite seamlessly into the organizational
mission of Crisis Care Network. I get to bring myself to work!
As
President of Crisis Care Network I also commit myself to supporting CCN
employees in integration of their own personal missions into the
mission we pursue organizationally for our customers and those impacted
by tragedy. This initiative is driven by belief that thoughtful,
intentional integration of the individual employee’s personal mission
into the organization’s mission produces a culture supportive of
meaningful, motivated, high-quality workdays and careers. I believe
this integration is especially true in the stressful, high-impact,
high-visibility world of crisis response. Involvement entails more of a
sense of calling than a sense of vocation. The delivery of competent
compassion involves more of who you are and why you do it than what you
do. You can’t fake compassion! In ’08, the CCN Leadership Team
implemented an intentional, perpetual plan to maximize this integration
activity. We will definitely continue it in ’09. I
encourage each of you to dig just a bit deeper to find ways to bring
your own unique skills, resources, and passions to the workplace. The
important work we do together certainly warrants it, plus….. life is
too short and the days are too long.
Happy Holidays!
