Doesn’t have to be a big thing! For me, I just managed to handle an entire move all on my own, without help from friends or family.

I am a program manager at a non profit that helps older adults. I have been working this morning on our annual report since fiscal just closed for 2022-23. I was astonished to see we somehow managed to serve over 500 seniors this year, a record for our small program.
It might seem like nothing, but my department has been literally me and just one part time person in the office for years. We finally got another ft help in December, and it really made a difference. I do manage several vendors that work in the field and a group of volunteers on top of that, so it’s pretty hectic. I used to be one of those people who never wanted to step into management because I love client facing work and hate the admin side of things, but I am really proud we did so much this year! We even managed to do it while losing our office space to a fire last fall, so all together we accomplished a lot. Feels good. 🥰
That’s 500 lives that have been changed for the better in an entire year. If you think about the cascading effect those 500 people have on others, you have touched countless lives!
