Elevate Your Team

A very busy 48 hours!

Day1 - The first ever Handshakes at the Harvest. A wonderful event in which we learned about the current state of the apple industry. I live in an area that has strong roots in this industry and was heavily impacted by the late freeze this past spring. Followed up by a fun mixer hosted by the Jefferson County WV Chamber of Commerce.

Day 2 - A full day of learning at the Tri State Leadership Summit! Happily ran into wonderful local leaders, met several new people, and learned some new things along the way.

Looking forward to a quite weekend to process all of the wonderful connections and new opportunities that will come from a high energy week!

I just spent the last two days with the amazing people at the Eastern Panhandle Board of Realtors compiling, discussing, and planning for the future. They had passionate people in the room willing to take the deep dive and assess where the organization is now, so that they could build for a stronger future!

Thank you for allowing me to be your guide for this process. I know great things are coming for EPBR 🥳

Time & effort...

At the end of the day, that's the formula for friendship.

Yes, there are roadblocks. Life gets busy. Families grow. Careers change. We move. Seasons of life shift. I'm oversimplifying, but one thing remains true: meaningful friendships don't happen by accident. They require both people to invest the time and effort to stay connected.

But it starts with us. We have to be willing to make the first call, send the first text, or simply check in to say, "Hi, I was thinking about you."

It may just be some of the most valuable time and effort you'll spend.

So, take a look at your contact list today. Who have you been meaning to reach out to? Make the call. Send the text. Write the email.

Friendship grows when we make the effort.

Sustaining friendships — and making new friends — can be challenging, even when we know it's important. So how can we make our friendships last without feeling overwhelmed? And is there a formula to follow for making new ones? To find out, data journalist Mona Chalabi turns to her most trusted s...
