"And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good." -John Steinbeck Not a humble brag, but a full-force in your face brag. Not on me, but for our HR crew. Our HR team does one thing pretty dang good. Customer Service. You see, we are both a localized central services team AND a customer facing team. Our early mornings start in HR with me and my HR battle bud David Castañeda. We come in early to ensure we are available for 3rd/night shifts. I'm not bi-lingual, David is. I speak spanglish and it's pretty rough around the edges. But we get to address things and ward off problems while they are just issues. Continuous operations of any organization can stretch teams thin...quickly. You often wonder if you are making a difference. An employee dropped these off for me and David today. Lord knows I don't want gifts, but she said "you support us and we appreciate it" by giving us these. The 'thank you' you get sometimes makes effort worth it in the people space. And it's proof positive that we are making a difference. The level of traffic is down. Meaning...less problems. Because people don't show up to HR and say "Hey, everything is great. Just saying hello." The conversations are more solution-oriented and proactive versus reactive. It means things are trending better and better. Not perfect. But good. I'll take it.

At Ford, we like to say our employees move the world and make the future, and that’s especially true when it comes to designers. “We quite literally design for vehicles that won’t exist for many years after our work begins, so it’s a bit like existing in the future,” says Jill Dougherty, exterior designer. “Design is a craft but it’s also a form of invention, trying to draw something out of your brain that’s never been done before, put it on paper, and then start making it real.” Read on for some behind-the-scenes insight into the 2025 Ford Expedition design and Dougherty’s role in it, as well as all the cool things she’s up to outside of work!

One good thing about having to listen to the same song over and over and over again when my kids control the playlist. Is that you get to hear some of the lyrics differently. This one really hit me and it’s so true! If you feel like you are losing yourself and you don’t know why or what to do about it. It’s actually a perfect sign for you that you need to look inward and change something. Try to think of what type of person you want to be / go back to being and then take one step towards that each day for 28 days. This will start giving you some momentum and boost your confidence. This free guide will help you decide your strengths and values and help you put a simple plan to help put them in action. https://lnkd.in/g5k38jRR
