It's all about attitude. The angle you choose to look at a situation impacts the outcome. Right now all of us, the whole world, is experiencing the same challenges.
So adapting the "what can I do," "how can I help," how can I support you," mindset produces the best results. These times call for a "One for All and All for One" approach.
How proud are you of our own Barrington 220 Community School District? When Superintendent Brian Harris learned that neighboring Lake Zurich school district was struggling to get all of it's students access to online learning because they needed power cords, he and staff dug into unused iPad equipment and pulled 200 cords to deliver to them. That's a proud community moment!
Another proud moment, the strong support to get others through the pandemic. A coalition of nonprofits in our community dedicated to a Healthier Barrington have teamed up to start the
Barrington Area COVID Response Fund
to ensure programs and resources for those in need continue during these difficult times. They have committed to a $100,000 Challenge Grant, promising to match donations that will be allocated to organizations serving the Barrington Area that provide vital basic needs, services, and resources. See the article below.
In life, in networking, in business, and in community, when you focus on the needs of others, it comes back to help you excel in every facet of your life and career.
We are in this together - One for All and All for One - and we will survive it together.
