December is the month when both gratitude and the opportunity to help others come together.
So far this month the Grounded team have given our time and energy to:
- A “for purpose” board who were keen on some governance training and a reset on their board responsibilities. We had fun (yes even on Zoom!) and all learned a lot.
- Visiting clients elsewhere inTe Waipounamu – so fortunate to be able to work together in person.
- Supporting several people who have current, significant governance challenges to grapple with. The struggle is real around board tables, and it is great to be able to lend a hand, and ear, in these times.
- Our free online session called #askusanything – an hour each month for people to ask any question they need to about governance, and to get an answer – and maybe even some next steps.
Grounded has chosen to donate to two local foodbanks this year – we are proud to have both organisations as clients, and to support them in this way when they need help.
Others have also helped our business to grow – for their time, loyalty and energy I am very grateful. We’ve been lucky this year. Lucky to have our health, financial resilience, great work and a professional team, and a future to look forward to.
