Isolation...Isolated.

As the pandemic began and leaders did their best to deal with an unknown and invisible assailant, isolation became an unintended consequence, and unfortunately, a pattern. Stay home, telework, canceled events, travel restrictions...all phrases that dominated this year. Even as an organization, we had to learn how to operate and survive, and we felt the loneliness at times, but not near as much as we felt it from our Warriors.

Through a more focused intentionality, we worked hard to combat isolation, but not just to fill the void in our Warriors, rather, to teach them to fill that void in themselves BY filling it in others. The idea of creating a culture where every Warrior owns their responsibility to care for the Warriors around them was set in stone throughout this year.

This year laid the foundation of communication and contend delivered to your fingertips by our app and website. It also saw the creation of programs such as our Kindness Krewe, Herds, Influencers, and more, all of which will begin being built upon and further developed throughout 2021, and as we continue to replace isolation with connection, more will probably be born.

We know that these are all tools, so our ultimate work in this area is to lead in such a way that we foster interpersonal connection using the tools at our fingertips.

While physical isolation may seem like it could still be a detrimental element of our current world reality, we promise you that we will work hand in hand with our Warriors to ensure that your emotional, relational, mental, and even spiritual wellbeing is something that we intentionally fight for! Isolation can not survive in the face of intentional connection.
