At the beginning of each year, Michael Buckley, Arrow’s personal and professional development coach and “The Chief Feelings Officer,” asks each team member to pick a “Word of the Year.”
What does your life need more of right now?
And my life will be improved if I have more of what?
Michael reminds us that sometimes, we need more focus. Then, other times, it’s more compassion, and at times, we need more fun!
In past years, team members have chosen words such as clarity, confidence, intentional, commitment, consideration, and receptiveness.
This year, team members are actively selecting a Word of the Year for themselves and collaborating to create a word for their community. Picking a personal word and community word is a commitment to doing work on themselves and the “we” and “us” work they want to accomplish as a community.
This word is significant because it encapsulates the essence of embodying a commitment to holistic well-being and vitality. In this community, residents receive exceptional care and are actively encouraged to flourish in every aspect of their lives.
By setting an intention for the year, we’re shaping our community for success. By establishing a shared vision and purpose, residents, staff, and stakeholders unite under a common goal, fostering a sense of collective determination. This intentional approach allows us to align our resources, efforts, and initiatives, ensuring a strategic focus on key priorities that contribute to our community members’ overall well-being and satisfaction.
We will actively integrate the word into the community’s daily operations. By conducting regular assessments, developing personalized care plans, and maintaining continuous communication channels. This proactive approach ensures we support each resident’s journey, enabling them to live comfortably and thrive within our community.
The most significant goals of the year for our community are to center around fostering a thriving environment that prioritizes the well-being and satisfaction of our residents.
We dedicate ourselves to enhancing the overall resident living experience through:
The chosen Word of the Year should inspire the team. If it doesn’t, it means they selected the wrong word. Hold yourself and others accountable throughout the year. Engage with team members about their Word of the Year and keep it as a frequent topic of discussion in your community. Monitor your achievements using your 2024 Word of the Year, and we eagerly anticipate celebrating them with you!
