I love figuring stuff out, but need to remember I don't always have to do it by myself!]]> 2022-10-31 20:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nadiagronkowski/jouq4s7nez6pzou7/wish/2363948981 Team: We have an open, honest (but kind!) culture. nadiagronkowski https://padlet.com/nadiagronkowski/jouq4s7nez6pzou7/wish/2368505552 I'm proud that we continue to be very transparent and honest with each other but also kind, positive, and supportive of one another's growth. 🌱]]> 2022-11-03 13:59:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nadiagronkowski/jouq4s7nez6pzou7/wish/2368505552 Shout-Out: Rio, thank you for being an intentional, equity-minded thought partner! nadiagronkowski https://padlet.com/nadiagronkowski/jouq4s7nez6pzou7/wish/2368517233 Because I know you don't like the term "supervisor" and because I feel like you are a true thought partner in all things! Thank you for being so thoughtful and intentional about what you say and do, how you show up to meetings big and small, and how you provide feedback. I admire the way you authentically integrate equity into everything we do-- it is never an afterthought.]]> 2022-11-03 14:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nadiagronkowski/jouq4s7nez6pzou7/wish/2368517233 Shout-Out: Thank you for being part of my "village!" nadiagronkowski https://padlet.com/nadiagronkowski/jouq4s7nez6pzou7/wish/2373403136 I need to do TWO shout-outs so that I can thank this entire team for being so supportive as I've returned to work from leave and dealt with family life.  Your support not only means a lot but has also made our entire family's life easier and better.  We all know that there are SO MANY systems and people and policies and decisions that impact a baby's development (i.e., it takes a village).  Thank you for walking the walk of what we do by helping me create a little ecosystem/village that is so supportive of Remy.]]> 2022-11-07 16:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nadiagronkowski/jouq4s7nez6pzou7/wish/2373403136 Team Appreciation (JG) https://padlet.com/nadiagronkowski/jouq4s7nez6pzou7/wish/2373721604 I'm proud of how we have really developed synergy and trust across our team --especially while we pivot, improvise, and move through transitions.

And I'm proud of that! BUT it can be tough to stay grounded in those characteristics working in a more fast paced, results-oriented organization. I've leaned into my soft skills/SC style a lot more and want to continue to grow those skills (without shame doing so!). Feeling thankful to have a team that welcomes that side of me, and sees the power of seeing each other as humans first. ]]> 2022-11-08 12:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nadiagronkowski/jouq4s7nez6pzou7/wish/2374888058 NPT RANGERS!

We've shifted in size, team members, and honed in on new scopes of work. We've also had to face different happenings in our personal lives. And we've continued to become stronger and more connected as a collective. As our team continues to evolve, I'm confident we'll get through things together - no matter what it is. Go team go! ]]> 2022-11-08 12:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nadiagronkowski/jouq4s7nez6pzou7/wish/2374909778 Appreciation: Shout out to each of you (RJ) https://padlet.com/nadiagronkowski/jouq4s7nez6pzou7/wish/2374945392 You each inspire me by how you channel your gifts to do the work you do everyday.
