Don’t Miss this Rare Opportunity

“As our work­ing envi­ron­ment becomes more dynamic and diverse, it will be incum­bent upon us to ensure we are work­ing at opti­mum lev­els to pro­duce desired out­comes and enhance our organization’s abil­ity to remain com­pet­i­tive in the mar­ket.   Our local busi­nesses and those cor­po­ra­tions who make the Tri­an­gle their home require dili­gence in their work­force lead­er­ship to grow­ing prof­its and peo­ple in order to stim­u­late our econ­omy.    This sym­po­sium will pro­vide par­tic­i­pants from around the Tri­an­gle with an oppor­tu­nity to take part in this expe­ri­en­tial, highly par­tic­i­pa­tory and hands on train­ing which focuses on devel­op­ing state of the art lead­er­ship skills in real time…the skills that can make the dif­fer­ence between remain­ing in the sta­tus quo conun­drum or exceed­ing pro­fes­sional and per­sonal expec­ta­tions in devel­op­ing self and oth­ers in the work­place.  Don’t miss this rare oppor­tu­nity to prac­tice and build skills as you par­tic­i­pate.”

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT/CEO

Moun­tain in My Rearview Mirror

As we assess today’s world cir­cum­stances, its tragedies and obsta­cles – we can­not help but acknowl­edge how over­whelm­ing it all is at times.  When look­ing at the eco­nom­i­cal and social chal­lenges that beset us right here in South­east Raleigh which include issues of access to qual­ity edu­ca­tion for our chil­dren and our­selves, find­ing employ­ment and cre­ative entre­pre­neur­ial oppor­tu­ni­ties dur­ing this finan­cial down­town, qual­ity and afford­able hous­ing,  find­ing afford­able ways and resources which will enable us to eat healthy and become fit, mak­ing sure our neigh­bor­hoods are clean and safe, learn­ing how to man­age and build on the finan­cial resources we cur­rently have (no mat­ter how small), find­ing ways for re-entry strate­gies to become suc­cess­ful, and ensur­ing our voices are heard when enhance­ments and changes are made to city infra­struc­tures as a result of growth — we may want to say “stop the world, I want to get off”.  How­ever, all of these seem­ingly impen­e­tra­ble chal­lenges can be overcome…”How” you might ask.  “One at a time” would be my response.  Work­ing with like­minded advo­cates, busi­ness peo­ple, gov­ern­ment lead­ers (city, county and state), other non-profits as well as invested com­mu­nity mem­bers who believe that change can occur when the com­mu­nity invests in itself.   When we address each of these chal­lenges with calm, clar­ity, delib­er­a­tion, deter­mi­na­tion and com­mit­ment together, we ensure that the out­comes are positive.

The Hall of Fame foot­ball coach of the Green Bay Pack­ers once said, “Once a man has made a com­mit­ment to a way of life, he puts the great­est strength in the world behind him. It’s some­thing we call heart power. Once a man has made this com­mit­ment, noth­ing will stop him short of success.”

SERA, Inc. is work­ing within South­east Raleigh com­mu­ni­ties to build com­mu­nity capac­ity and enhance the qual­ity of life for south­east Raleigh res­i­dents and the busi­ness part­ners who sup­port the com­mu­ni­ties we serve.  Work­ing together each obsta­cle can become a moun­tain in our rear view mirror!
