Synergistic Sunday: From Job Sites to Life Lessons: Redefining Success for Our Kids
It has always been important to me that my children see that career paths don’t all look the same. Entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone. Trades aren’t for everyone. Corporate isn’t for everyone. And that’s the point — there is no one “right” path.
What is important, is becoming a contributing human. Adding value. Improving the world you touch. Showing up in the community.
Different career paths often come with different educational paths. University isn’t for everyone — college isn’t for everyone — and that is perfectly okay.
My husband and I have been fortunate to model that for our kids — two very different careers, with three very different careeer paths along with two very different educational routes — and they’ve seen firsthand that success is never a one-size-fits-all.
Fast forward a decade — and I am grateful to have clients who don’t bat an eye when my children occasionally come to a safe job site on a teacher work day.
Because this is real life learning. This is how perspective is shaped. This is how they see what work can look like — beyond a desk.
Cheers to the relationships we’ve built — and to raising the next generation to know success can be defined, built, and lived many different ways.
