Happy May Day! Interestingly, May 1 is celebrated as both a festival of spring, but is also officially International Workers' Day, a day to honor workers. Either way, it's a good day for leaders to remember how much impact they have on the well-being and growth of their employees and organizations. How does May Day inspire you?

This week, many of us enjoy celebrating our Irish heritage with St. Patrick’s day. The occasion brings people together for a good time as we begin to welcome springtime. I also learned March 19 is recognized by Christian churches as the feast of St. Joseph, who is the patron saint of Italians. It is known as Father’s Day in Italy, Spain and other countries. A noble vocation. St. Joseph the Worker also is celebrated on May 1, International Worker’s Day, that honors laborers, the struggles of the working class, and the campaign for worker rights, like the 8-hour workday. It is observed by many countries around the world. That’s just the context. So much is shared here on LinkedIn about the power of storytelling. We often can find takeaways from any new person we meet or story we hear. Lessons for us from St. Joseph: 1. Say “yes” — We may not always be comfortable with situations we are placed in, but when we say yes, we may be taking a risk or going beyond our comfort zone and grow. 2. Listen and Act — St. Joseph is a prominent figure in the Christian faith, but he actually never utters a word in the Bible. He listened, and he acted. He worked his craft, supported his family, and raised his son(s). He listened and devoted his life to what he believed was right. 3. Be humble. Most of all, St. Joseph is recognized for his humility. Humility can be a valuable leadership trait when we can recognize our own limitations, appreciate the contributions of others, and show respect and empathy. Hope you don’t mind this different kind of post, connecting religious and cultural observations this week with our professional lives. #humility #leadership #listening #sayyesnewexperiences #storytelling

It was a great day at the great place! My team and I had the privilege of attending Texas A&M's Staff Enrichment Day for the Division of Finance and Business Services which included three topics of interest: Wellness, Managing the Madness, and Taking the Lead (even without the title). Here are my top takeaways that I hope you can also apply to your daily life: 1. The greatest leaders are often the greatest public servants. 2. Equitable workload does not always mean equal workload. 3. There is no success in the workplace that can make up for failure in the home.

This issue marks a very special milestone for Our Place — it’s our 50th! So we’ve decided to turn the tables and interview Christopher Duffy, creative director of Our Place, as well as co-founder alongside wife Rachelle, about the journey of the magazine and the community that has made it what it is along the way. Here are some highlights: "C: It became evident that there were narratives waiting to be shared—stories that might otherwise remain undiscovered. Recognising this unique opportunity, we felt a compelling drive to establish a platform that could bring these narratives to light." "C: Our dedication to highlighting the endeavors of individuals, organisations, and groups making a positive impact in our community remains steadfast. However, it’s crucial that we remain adaptable in our approach to sharing these stories." "C: Yet, beyond these tangible markers, what truly fills us with gratitude and pride is the privilege we hold — the privilege to tell stories that matter."

Over a decade has passed since I had the privilege of bringing “Our Time” into the world—a book that captured the heart and soul of a pivotal moment in our history. It was a collective tale of courage, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of equality within the military, particularly against the backdrop of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. At the time, I made a conscious decision to leave my own story on the sidelines. It wasn’t an easy choice, but it felt necessary. I wasn’t ready to share my journey, partly because I sensed that my chapter in Washington D.C. wasn’t complete. I had more to do, more to learn, and perhaps, more to contribute to the ongoing narrative of equality and justice. In the intervening years, life took me on an unexpected voyage—literally to the seas and metaphorically through the vast oceans of self-discovery and advocacy. Sailing gave me the solitude to reflect and the horizon to aspire towards. It was a period of growth, challenge, and immense personal development. Now, after years of sailing both literal and metaphorical seas, I’ve returned. With the perspective that time and experience afford us, I’ve come to realize that my story, my time, is ripe for the telling. “My Time” isn’t just a sequel to “Our Time”; it’s a deeply personal account of the journey I’ve embarked on since, the evolution of my advocacy, and the lessons learned in the trenches of change and in the quiet moments in between. This next chapter is for everyone who’s ever stood at the crossroads of personal truth and public service, for those who’ve navigated the complexities of identity in spaces that weren’t always ready to welcome them, and for anyone who believes in the power of storytelling to change hearts, minds, and policies.
