Let’s talk about five strategies to keep your resilience sharp, so you’re ready to handle any obstacle life throws your way.

Today marks the International Day of the Girl Child 2024, a significant occasion dedicated to acknowledging the potential and dynamic influence of young girls within their communities tackling global issues. Anthony Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, has recently introduced the U.S. Global Strategy to Empower Adolescent Girls. This groundbreaking initiative involves a collaborative effort between private, state, and federal agencies to empower girls globally and dismantle the barriers that impede their full participation in public and social life.

In alignment with this vision, Operation Xcel, a diverse and inclusive nonprofit organization, is fervently investing in the future of girls and young women. The organization strategically provides social-emotional learning (SEL) and equal opportunities to every girl in the program, nurturing their abilities in STEAM fields and preparing them to become catalysts for positive change in their communities and future careers.

It is important for every employee, including those in leadership positions, to have a good work-life balance to create a positive and productive work environment. When employees have a balanced life, there are fewer absences, lower turnover, happier employees, and greater engagement in the organization's success. It is beneficial for all organizations to provide spaces at work that help employees relax and de-stress. World Mental Health Day is a time when people can take a collective look at how well the mental health of all people is respected and where it is placed on the hierarchy of organizational needs.
