An adventurous story! I had the chance to meet T Pain, the African Sulcata tortoise, when he was younger. He is more than just a pet to my friends and Mirajo members, Tasha and Rome. Tasha, owner of Styles by Sugafoot, and Rome, a DJ and comedian, are both from Clearwater and represent the heart of our community. When I heard T Pain was found, all I could think of was T Pain’s song, 'Ooooh, I can’t believe it.' Hearing about his adventure and safe return was a relief. It is moments like these that remind us how much we value the connections we share with people and the animals that bring joy into our lives. I am so glad T Pain is back home where he belongs. Here’s to celebrating what makes life meaningful: family, friends, and even adventurous tortoises like T Pain." https://lnkd.in/e-Fc_9bX #SocialIQbyMirajo #MirajoCollective #ClearwaterCommunity #StylesBySugafoot #EverydayConnections #TortStory

The nerve of anyone to think you need to bow consistently in order to be heard. There is a common phrase "You teach people how to treat you." #unconsciousleadership #factovermyth #leadershipexcellence #SocialIQ #Mirajocollective

The younger generation is always striving to go further than those who came before us. Many of the workplace norms are outdated, no longer effective, and perhaps never truly provided a balanced lifestyle for anyone. When we are young, we tend to pour everything into work, striving to create a better future. We sacrifice rest, relationships, and often our health because we believe that is what it takes to succeed. As we get older, we start to see things differently. Life teaches us lessons, sometimes through experiences we chose and other times through situations we did not expect. Slowly, we begin to value things outside of work. For some, that means family comes first. For others, it is health or personal fulfillment. These priorities are not always a choice. Sometimes they are the result of circumstances we find ourselves in after years of hard work and sacrifice. The reality is that our minds and viewpoints shift as we age. When we are younger, we focus on working hard for the future, but as we grow older, we start to find solace in things that bring balance and meaning to our lives. This shift is not about giving up, it is about redefining what success means and making choices that allow us to truly live. This chart reveals a clear pattern: loneliness is highest among younger workers and gradually decreases with age. - 18–24 Years (60%): Younger workers often feel the most isolated as they navigate the pressure to succeed, build careers, and establish social connections. These years are marked by a constant drive for the future, but that focus can sometimes come at the expense of genuine relationships and emotional well-being. - 25–34 Years (45%): Loneliness begins to decrease slightly as people establish more stability in their careers and personal lives. However, many in this group still feel the strain of balancing professional goals with personal growth. - 35–44 Years (30%): This age group often starts finding fulfillment outside of work, whether through family, health, or other priorities. While loneliness lessens, the challenges of managing responsibilities remain. - 45–54 Years (20%): As life settles, people in this group often focus on deeper connections with loved ones and begin prioritizing what truly matters to them. - 55+ Years (15%): Older adults report the lowest levels of loneliness, often finding fulfillment in relationships, community involvement, and the wisdom that comes with age. This progression shows how life stages influence our experiences of loneliness and connection. It reminds us that addressing loneliness requires understanding where people are in their journey, especially younger workers who are striving for a future they may not yet fully see. #SocialIQbyMirajo #MirajoCollective #SocialData #BehaviorTrends #ConnectionStats #LeadershipData

Have you ever worried that no matter your experience or what your resume says, your job may be replaced with AI? As powerful as AI is, it cannot replicate your authenticity. #ai #jobskills

Why should you be watching your tone? Because you never know who someone is today or who they will become tomorrow. You might outrank them now, but that does not mean they lack power or influence. The way you speak to people today shapes how they remember you and how they respond to you in the future. Watch your tone. It says more about you than it does about them. #SocialIQbyMirajo #MirajoCollective #ConnectionMatters #LeadThroughUnderstanding #EverydayLeadership #ThePowerofBehavior

Firefighter, Jonathan Head, reminds us of the strength and goodness that still exists in the world. He did not hesitate when he heard the cries of a two-year-old boy trapped in a burning apartment. Jonathan broke through flames and smoke to save a life. This is what it means to act with courage. It is not about seeking recognition. It is about stepping forward when it matters most. Stories like this are a reminder that there is still good out there, and it shows up in the quiet bravery of people like Jonathan. Who in your life has been a quiet hero? Let’s celebrate those who make a difference every day. https://lnkd.in/ekqMuyDz #SocialIQbyMirajo #MirajoCollective #EverydayHeroes #CourageInAction #HumanConnection #ActsOfGoodness

Be careful in things you consider to be weak. In those same elements is where you find strength. #unconsciousleadership #factovermyth #leadershipexcellence #SocialIQ #Mirajocollective

Let this sink in and ask yourself: where is your time really going? Screen Time (29%) - Screens consume almost a third of our day, from work tasks to endless scrolling. - Technology connects us, but it also replaces moments where real relationships are built. - The problem is not screens themselves but how often they steal time from experiences that truly matter. Ask yourself: "Am I in control of my screen time, or is it controlling me?" Face to Face Interaction (7%) - Less than two hours of our day is spent talking to people in person. - In person conversations allow us to connect deeply through body language, tone, and energy. These are things screens cannot replicate. - The decline in real interactions is not just a trend; it is a warning for how disconnected we are becoming. Challenge yourself: "What is one way I can create more face-to-face connection today?" Other Activities (64%) - The majority of our day is filled with everything else: sleeping, commuting, eating, and crossing off to do lists. - While these activities are essential, they often leave little room for meaningful moments. - In the busyness of life, genuine connection can feel like an afterthought. Ask yourself: "Are you intentionally making space for the things that truly matter?" Where can you reclaim time for connection and relationships that matter? #SocialIQbyMirajo #MirajoCollective #SocialData #BehaviorTrends #ConnectionStats #LeadershipData

Eye contact is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to connect with someone if it is done with intention. But not all eye contact is the same. Understanding its nuances can change how you build trust and communicate effectively. Here are five things to think about when it comes to eye contact in human interactions. #SocialIQbyMirajo #MirajoCollective #ConnectionMatters #LeadThroughUnderstanding #EverydayLeadership #ThePowerofBehavior

Waiting for recognition is a losing game. The reality? No one’s handing out gold stars for your effort. Speak up, advocate for yourself, and set your own boundaries. If you’re doing great work, let it be known, but don’t rely on others to validate your value. #unconsciousleadership #factovermyth #leadershipexcellence #SocialIQ #Mirajocollective
