What in Reach Partners’ name is good?

Lots of things are good, but let’s narrow it down a tick for Reach Partners. What condition provides the gift of time? What function gives potency to action, strength to enthusiasm? What base human condition does each person need to get up in the morning to do good work, play and continue today and long into life?  

The answer is health.

Individual and collective, every living, breathing man, woman and child has an opportunity to offer their talent to the world and leave their mark, large or small. But without health and those pillars of health aligned (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, nutritional, etc.) we lose the potency of the individual’s talent, our time is diminished, the spark of individuality wanes as ill health prevails. 

So when Reach Partners can work with those that promote, sustain, encourage good health for one person or many, we are in our element. Delighted. Fulfilled. Growing our own health is as much a part of the journey, goal and aspiration as it is to foster the health others.  

Reach Partners desire to facilitate the success to coordinate and be the healthy change in ourselves, family, community and, ultimately, the world. We are not perfect, all knowing health scholars or practitioners. There is much to investigate, consider, understand and do. When the work ahead provides an opportunity to discover, learn and create meaningful connections, that *IS* Reach Partners.

Reach Partners, it’s a commendable name.

It doesn’t matter if it’s not your job, it has to be done.

• Preset salad plates in order to open doors to conference attendees on time.

• Reset pipe and drape after a map turn-around to assure all vendors fit in the space as planned.
• Teardown and set up for a major recognition banquet for 600 in 3 hours due to a scheduling mix-up.

After an event, exhausted and exhilarated, it’s fun to rehash and relive the ugly and the worst. It’s human  nature to revile stories that entail grand screws ups (someone else’s). But it’s even better to share the stories of the plucky heroine, who jumped in at the critical time of need, set aside ego or an opportunity for rest and without complaint, cheerfully donned another hat for the good of all.  A superhero for the small stuff: able to serve, move and aid.

Those opportunities to step-up don’t come along everyday but on those grisly occasions you learn who you want on your team: the intern that sees a need and fulfills, the CEO that pushes aside ego and picks up a plate, the staff member who acts to solve the problem.

It’s safe to say, I want Anita on my team.

As stated somewhere on our website, we love our name: Reach Partners. It says so much about our philosophy of care, our meaning and mission in life. It's not us, you or them but the sum of consequential relationships.  Our human connections reflect our soul, humanity, our true meaning. 
Through connections we dive headlong and work to create a genuine and meaningful experience with another human thereby enhancing and growing our own humanity. We learn with and from each other’s wisdom, mistakes and experiences through stories, work and observation.  Growing the commonalities between us, honoring the differences enriches our collaborations and our work becomes a calling, a vocation and those of us involved are in partnership, cahoots. Yes, then we are in cahoots.
