Blessed with more bravery than smarts, I am a very #LuckyGuy. Join me at for a conversation about the power of Service Leadership

[Curt Hammond @MacDaddy2]

Our @the4simplewords #ServiceInAction papers are going to help us explore what good service looks like. Our first edition is a powerful story we all can learn from. I hope u will take 10 min to read it and let us know what u think. #ServiceLeadership

[The Four Simple Words @the4simplewords]

Our first Service In Action is out💻

An inspiring story about Emma Smith and her extraordinary act of donating her kidney to her life partner, Ben. A story of kindness and service, both of which Service Leaders use.

. @jborthwik commitment to authentic service is apparent in all that he does and proven by the impact he has had on Guelph. He is a great #ServiceLeader I am excited about John4.0 and am glad the new job means we can keep up our coffee dates! https://t.co/jhWcu92JVa

@bronwynnewilton @AggieMaggiethe @WiltonConsult @synthesisag @robahannam @CrystalMackay32 Thanks Bronwynne! That means a lot coming from another skilled engagement professional like yourself! I'm not sure they are tricks or repeated learnings from all the not-so-great sessions... #FineLine #GoodEnagementStartsWithListening

[Curt Hammond @MacDaddy2]

An IRL Friday coffee with the smart, thoughtful and visionary @shakiba_s is a gift and a reminder of the great community we live in. #Guelph is lucky to have Shakiba's head and heart involved in so many conversations. #ServiceLeadership #StrongCommunityStrongBusiness

Hey @riverfestelora it is the morning!!! When do we get to see that lineup!?!?! #SooooExcited

[Curt Hammond @MacDaddy2]

A friend's story about recovery from surgery prompted this week's @the4simplewords blog post. Yes, we should take that meal and offer support. AND, let's make sure we are in service to what they actually need, rather than what we want them to need. Have a listen & read below.

[The Four Simple Words @the4simplewords]

Bringing meals is a tradition that crosses cultures & languages🍜 Those of us dropping off home-cooked meals can make sure we have the impact we want by checking in with ourselves to ensure we understand what we are in service to. Read more on the blog: https://t.co/TMMVz4XXFl

My writing this week has me reflecting on the power of words, how meaning can change as we grow and why it's up to each of us to be ready to let some language go. #ServiceLeadership #FourSimpleWords

[The Four Simple Words @the4simplewords]

How do white rabbits and #BlackHistoryMonth connect? For me, one is a reminder of how much learning I have to do about the other. This week I write about the gift of language my other grandmother has given me. Read more on the #FourSimpleWords blog 📝

This week's @the4simplewords blog post has me looking in the mirror and asking what is the real power of a sticker and flag? Just between us, I'm not happy with the answer. #IsNotAboutMe

[Pearl Street Inc @PearlStreetInc]

When is F-150 not just a truck? What does my reaction to the flag and sticker on the back say about me? A quick dismissal of how others want to be seen damages them and me. Learn how two wise women have helped me better accept everyone’s need to belong. https://t.co/tQdqgTUfH5

[Curt Hammond @MacDaddy2]

As leaders we need to be looking after ourselves so we can serve those around us. A few Four Simple Words thoughts on the debt we owe @jacindaardern & @LauraMaeLindo for their courage and leadership.

[The Four Simple Words @the4simplewords]

We can learn much from leaders who choose to move into new opportunities. This week @jacindaardern & @LauraMaeLindo show us why thinking about the next is serving ourselves and others. More thoughts in this weeks @the4simplewords blog post. https://t.co/YgrD33oivy

[Skyler Hammond @ATeenyTinyStory]

To be pushed so clearly from thought.

All else but the fray before me.

Was to know a furious quiet.

Yearning to be shattered.

[Delbert JR Williams @DelbertJRW]

Love this read on service by @MacDaddy2. Highly recommend taking a couple minutes to hear his story and learnings.

[The Four Simple Words @the4simplewords]

I used to think that giving blood was me helping others. Turns out it was me helping me…and others! Service Leadership embraces the idea that I should feel good while helping others. Read about this and my unique chromosome makeup in this week's post.

[Skyler Hammond @ATeenyTinyStory]

The Teeny Tiny TV series has officially been viewed over 1.2 MILLION times. A huge thanks to all for tuning in, sharing these stories, and spreading the word. Brings me a whole ‘lotta joy doing this.

Here’s to a few more million-view milestones somewhere down the road!

We want to make 2023 a #YearOfService. Our first posting this year is about one simple tool that Service Leaders use to align their actions and values.

[The Four Simple Words @the4simplewords]

The ego-driven madness we are seeing in the US House of Representatives is an example of leaders who are not transparent (or even fully aware) of what they are in service to. Read about the simple tool Service Leaders use to focus on the right things. https://t.co/9fmE83iBF3

[Curt Hammond @MacDaddy2]

Happy New Year! Let’s make 2023 a #YearOfService

[WellingtonAdvertiser @WellyAdvertiser]

Elora writer Sky Hammond gets big break from ‘tiny stories’: his book has been picked up by TVOkids and turned into an animated TV series. https://t.co/UM6WKBqJqN

[Sarah Sanders @sarahsanders33]

Check out these awesome little videos. They could be used as writing prompts or as conversation starters for community circles. https://t.co/33itC0GzSX

[Glenna Banda (she/her) @glennask]

So lucky to have such great people on my “bat signal” that I can reach out to for advice or run something by. Today it was @MacDaddy2

Everyone needs a network of support!

[Curt Hammond @MacDaddy2]

Over the past four years my good friend @BallantyneCW has modelled what smart and thoughtful leadership looks like. I just voted for her online and now it's your turn to do the same! CW residents can get all their voting info at https://t.co/c7XHsmDnBU
